The Japanese units are seemingly unaffected by some Blessings in Celestial Challenge.
Here I have selected the following blessings:
1. Gaia’s Lashing Roots (Hero Area damage +3): Which is lacking on both Miko, Onna-Musha (Pictured) and all other Heroes.
2. Poseidon’s Rushing Tides (Hero Speed +30%): Also lacking on both Miko, Onna-Musha (Pictured) and all other Heroes.
3. Athena’s Aegis Infantry (Infantry HP +25%): This one DOES affect the Onna-Musha (Base HP 200→250)
Curiously enough the two first mentioned Blessings do work in Arena of the Gods. But worth noting:
Miko doesn’t state that it get Area damage, but I don’t think Atlantean Hero Citizen states it either, but I think they gave the impression they had it during an enemy cast of Fimbulwinter long ago? (I’m a bit uncertain on this one)
Onna-Musha didn’t get it on their Special Attack (Naginatajutsu) despite getting it on their normal attacks in Arena of the Gods.
I played first the Celestial Challenge, then Arena of the Gods and then reconfirmed playing the Celestial Challenge again, used stated Blessings.

After thinking about it, could it be that in Celestial Challenge the Hero Units are “tagged” as Legends, but NOT Heroes that causes this (or potentially that Legends “tag” adds 1 to a Boolean value that states Hero or not)? As there are no Legends in Celestial Challenge but all Heroes function as them. That is why my suspicion stems from why it works like it should in Arena of the Gods but not in Celestial Challenge. This Oversight was avoided with all earlier Heroes, so it can probably be easily checked.
As for Naginatajutsu not working with Gaia’s Lashing Roots is probably because it is an ability, which needs to be specified (as seen in the upgrade “Golden Kite”). But since every armory, line and god-specific upgrade affects it I think it should affect it the same as this ability is effectivly more an “attack” than an “ability”. Might have to check Hera’s Righteous Wrath (with both Onna-Musha and Samurai) while at it.
World twists as well. I was excited to use them with Freyja’s Second Ride (Cav dismounting into infantry upon defeat) because of the exp mechanic meaning i wouldn’t need to purchase both line upgrades, but alas they didn’t dismount.
Edit: This was in Gauntlet I should clarify. Haven’t tried it with Celestial Challenge specifically but I would imagine the modes are similar in that sense.

Tried Celestial Challenge again today, this time as Loki and no Hero was affected by Hero Blessings with them either. I seems like it did affect all pantheons actually.
I have such issue today in Celestial challenge. None of chosen blessings don’t affect my game. Possibly, this bug something tied to localization. When I play challenge with Russian interface, blessings don’t work. If I change language to English, they start working. I tried to change interface language back to Russian, and they’re stopped working again.

Try this workaround: deselect and reselect all your equiped blessings.
Then the blessings started to work for me again

Are you kidding me…
…Literally “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”, and then it does work…
But yes, there is still a problem that it quits working when you change languages just like Evil_Grizzlee said (and to my experience it is only specificly Hero blessings).

Absolutely! And it needs to be fixed asap

This one is still a problem.
Additionally, it also stops working when closing the game, not just changing UI language.
I would also like to hear officially if the Area attack should apply to Onna-Mushas Charged attack (and Samurai’s Iaijutsu with Hera’s Righteous Wrath) as it currently doesn’t, personally I think it should.
Don’t mean to piggy back but I also noticed with the world twist Hel’s Mythic Frenzy: Hel gives all myth units double hitpoints and removes favor cost, but they are trained at half speed.
I noticed that it didn’t seem to apply to the Asura I was trying to spam. It always showed that I didn’t have enough favor to create them.
You didn’t have “Njord’s Rune of Myth Vigor” equipped? Hel’s Mythic Frenzy gives a -100% favour cost, which doesn’t remove the increase Njord’s Rune of Myth Vigor gives as the effects are additive (100%-100%+10%=10%).
I know for sure that Hel’s twist gives the Asura the 1000 extra HP (I’ve done some Asura-spamming myself), at least on the previous patch.
No i didn’t but it works properly with norse. I like to pick loki and choose hel for free giant spam when hels mythic frenzy is active
This is still a problem this patch.

Yeah, you have to turn the blessings on and off every time for them to work.
