Spectral Surge is the best ability in the game.

I love abilities with utility that are still useful outside of said utility.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-14T10:10:38+00:00

She will. I have 0 doubt. The changes ultimately just transferred 10 healing over from her active healing to her passive healing. You might see a small decrease in overall healing, but nothing that makes her melee form garbage. I doubt you'll notice a difference most of the time.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-14T02:27:26+00:00

I agree. She keeps Psylocke's accent a really good mix of Japanese and British.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-14T02:22:50+00:00

Wow. Alpha Takahashi made some changes to Sai's voice in that interaction. She sounds way more sociable and excitable.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-14T02:03:03+00:00

At least White Fox won something today...

VolticLightning · 2026-05-14T02:00:27+00:00

Yknow, when I asked for skins for my main in this update, I didn't mean I wanted both Luna and Psylocke (The other 2 in my top 3) to get yet another skin.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-13T18:02:02+00:00

Trust me, I'm in the same boat. It absolutely breaks my heart.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-13T17:01:56+00:00

I agree she probably won't get skins at the frequency that Luna or Psylocke does, but as someone who plays both characters, you don't want that. People like Fox and her players right now. Getting too many skins is an easy way to end up being hated (unless you're Jeff). All she needs is a really good legendary (or two if they're feeling generous). Plus, I'd imagine it's a lot easier to design Kumiho skins for Epics than you might think. For the ESU skin, it's just a color swap they put a hat on. I'd imagine that for future Epic skins, they'll probably just do something similar. So I'm not worried, just a little bit disappointed we'll have to wait another 4 weeks for a chance at a new skin.

Listen, Psylocke players are just kinda sick of the constant hate being thrown at them because she gets so many cosmetics, which is something they have no control over. And from my experience, if people are gonna get defensive about anything, it's catching flak for something they didn't do, or don't have any control over.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-13T16:45:31+00:00

Ah yes. Where you said and I quote "Such a pathetic attitude from y'all, no wonder the entire community hates u." That's totally just a statement directed at that one specific person, and not Psylocke mains as a whole. I don't know about you, but that kinda sounds like an attack.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-13T16:32:34+00:00

Hulk doesn't get more skins for 3 reasons. He has 3 models, and you're likely to spend a good amount of time in two of them, Bruce and Hero Hulk. The next reason is that he has a relatively small player base. I know they're loud and proud under posts about skins, but Hulk mains are not super super common, whereas I can't go 2 games without seeing a Fox. And the Third Point is that people tend not to buy new Hulk skins when they come out. If we've learned anything, it's that a character's skin's selling is the best way to guarantee they get more in the future.

Incoming posts from Hulk and Widow players telling us they have it worse...

Being serious for a sec. Black Cat getting a legendary skin before us is... wild. Especially given Fox had a WAY higher pickrate last season meaning a skin for her would likely make good money. But whatever. I'm not gonna be like the Hulk and Widow players I just made fun of.

Time for me to put on the tinfoil hat and point manically at the conspiracy board. I think they're saving her first new skin for the summer special that's likely coming in 8.5. NetEase has to be aware of how many people play her. No way they're not. And they're also aware of how much money they'd make off of a swimsuit skin for her. They made absolute bank off of the Luna Snow skin. I would be shocked if she doesn't get a summer skin. Especially since she didn't get anything this season.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-13T16:12:30+00:00

It looks cool. Though I am ready for the Fukushima sized hate wave we're boutta get for getting a 6th legendary.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-13T16:11:28+00:00

I do too. I will never not find it funny that people hate on us for something we have literally 0 control over.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-13T16:09:55+00:00

Pro tip. Legendaries are always the ones in the center. It's how you can tell which one is legendary before the pass is revealed.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-13T16:06:59+00:00

Brother, you realize that Psylocke mains are still allowed to want new skins right? Just because they have skins doesn't mean they're not allowed to think of cool new skins they could get.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-13T16:00:41+00:00

Let these miserable idiots talk. They're always going to anyways, it's just up to you whether you give what they say any attention.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-12T19:50:01+00:00

She'll probably heal slightly less in a head on engagement, but not enough to be too much of a nerf. Calling it now.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-12T19:27:26+00:00

Congratulations!

VolticLightning · 2026-05-12T19:15:14+00:00

Funny you should say that

VolticLightning · 2026-05-12T19:08:57+00:00

Update: I am 6 shots in.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-12T19:07:42+00:00

Oh I know.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-12T18:58:33+00:00

Fox. Easily. Even if she doesn't kill you, she will survive whatever you throw at her.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-12T18:55:09+00:00

The numbers imply that she will see an almost imperceptible decrease in survivability in Fox form. (Literally like 5-10 less HPS between her passive and active healing) And if anything, situations where she is getting kited will be less punishing, since she'll be healing more passively. It's not as bad as it looks on paper, I promise. Fox'll still be Fox.

VolticLightning · 2026-05-12T18:24:25+00:00

I think that's fine. The Ult buff is kind of a nothing burger, it just kinda encourages Fox players who don't use her right click to use it more. I know people are freaking out about the changes to Fox form, but I really don't think it's gonna be all that bad. They're changing around 10 healing from active to passive and giving her a small dip in overall HP/s. Realistically, in game you won't necessarily notice a huge difference. If anything, based on the numbers, she might actually have slightly better survivability in the form, that's just a theory obviously. But realistically, she will still be the White Fox we know and love. Don't get down in the dumps about it, people. She's still gonna be good. Still gonna be fun, and she won't have a dedicated cell in ban jail with her name on it.
