What do you think of Kusanali? Personally, I'm hoping to see her step up and take charge in one of the upcoming updates. Maybe she'll finally get to slap the Sages - they've got it coming for a while now.

She looks really cute so good archon indeed..😊

[@Dearlilysmoom]

I feel like if she regained her memories or powers then she would be a “perfect” archon like she once was

[@gravityapple6259]

I think a lot of her disadvantages just comes from her lack of experience because a lot of archons had the same disadvantages but had moved on because of time and kusanali is still too young and needs more experience so I don't think she's a bad archon I think she's a young archon and will grow and become a better archon as she grows just like the other archons grew from their past experiences

[@yuuichimakoto]

Correct me if i'm wrong or i miss something on story, i wonder why she didn't use her power to control people and make some help her instead of waiting for traveler all those 500 years?

[@nessamess]

That’s actually a very good point. (Spoilers for Sumeru Archon quest below)
During the Archon quest, Kusanali mentions that she could use her power to control people, but doesn’t like to (as it interferes in their free will, I think was the reason) - that’s also why, till she had to manipulate someone from the Akademiya, she only used Katheryne as her physical body.
Plus she was busy fighting the corruption to the Irminsul tree (along with other problems/corruptions that weren’t explicitly mentioned). That might’ve been why she didn’t take action till the Traveller arrived - aside from the whole… ”Traveller is the main character and everything revolves around them” plot. :L

First off, I wanted to say, great video. You structed and explained points perfectly (imo). Seondly, I agree. As it stands now (based on the criteria you stated in the video..and mostly her lack of experience of being an archon), Kusanali is not necessarily a "good" Archon. She is the most empathetic or "human" Archon so she is still my favorite Archon so far. I know it is just a game..but I can't help but feel a little bad that she will most likely become more jaded and possibly have less empathy as time goes on, like the other Archons (we know of..at least).
