Should You Pull? Ultra Festival: Lunar War Enchanter

If it's a question of power, this is as good as it gets on either JP or Global at the moment. The only other two units who compare to Marisa Kirisame (Lunar War Enchanter) are the Hifuu LostWord versions of Reisen and Youmu. Incredible damage, great support, good Breaks, her only problem is the Divine Dolls you need to uncap her.

This is a Ultra Festival banner, meaning it will take more draws than normal to spark Marisa, she is only uncappable by other copies of her Lunar War Enchanter version or Divine Dolls, and she will not be added to the general pool once the banner ends.

+Incredible damage output.
+Great support for Yin & CRIT attackers, with decent support for Yang attackers.
+Good Element access, including P0 Fire and Star on her basic shots.
+Can put out a lot of Burn Barriers.

-Requires Divine Dolls, which may be in short supply if you’re F2P.

Marisa Kirisame (Lunar War Enchanter) comes from a version of Gensokyo where her powers were sealed away. For the time being, as the chapter just was released, I’ll refrain from mentioning more so people get a chance to read it - but suffice to say she’s armed to the teeth with technology and weapons to more than make up for her lack of magic. She’s so well armed, in fact, she’s also the game’s first EX Tier Friend, with the only real complaints one could have about her being the Divine Doll cost and that her Last Word’s animation is a bit on the slower side.

Since all of Marisa’s kit is useful, we’ll start with her skills. Her character ability, Capable of using magic (Sealed), grants her whole party 1 level of CRIT ATK UP for a turn each time she grazes. This is further accented by her skills - Syntax.VariableStar() gives herself 3 Accuracy UP for 3 turns alongside 1 Spirit Power UP and 2 levels of CRIT Accuracy UP for 3 turns for her whole party. Next, Syntax.Comet() provides her whole party with 3 Crit ATK UP for 1 turn, alongside 0.25 Spirit Power UP and Quick to herself. Finally, Syntax.Meteor() gives her whole party 2 levels of Yang ATK UP for 3 turns and 0.25 Spirit Power UP. 

Sure, those fancy programming skills (literally) might be great, but the real firepower is in her attacks. For her basic shots, Spread Star and Magic Drain Missile both have a 0P Solo Break; Fire and Star respectively, perfect for people who like squeezing every ounce of value out that they can. Then, both of her Spell Cards cause burns just like a overheating laptop - Love Sign: Machine Gun Spark and Love Sign: Wide Master both inflict 1 layer of Burn Barrier to all targets for 2 turns, and an additional Burn to their primary target. Furthermore, Love Sign: Machine Gun Spark also packs 2 Fire and 3 Star Solo targeting Breaks at 2 Spirit Power, and Love Sign: Wide Master has 3 Fire and 1 Star All targeting Breaks for 3 Spirit Power, on top of 2 levels of Accuracy UP for 3 turns to ensure they land (and to deal with more troublesome foes with Evasion UP). 

She even has fantastic characteristics, in a departure from passives being normally forgettable. Flare Automaton adds a layer of Burn to a single target every wave, fantastic for Solo-friendly stages, when a priority target must die as soon as possible, or simply ramping up the damage in longer fights. Additionally, Mana Generator gives her 0.25 Spirit Power UP each and every turn, letting her squeeze in more Breaks than most other units might. 

Finally, her Last Word is perhaps the most absurd in the game’s history. Remote Master Sparks does it all: 6 levels of Yang ATK UP, 3 levels of Accuracy UP, 2 layers of Burn Barriers to all targets for 3 turns with 1 more for the primary target, and that’s just the pre-attack effects. It also possesses a 1-3-1 layout which abuses her ability to have 2 Spirit Power on the first turn, alongside impressive base CRIT rates. One might think the Burn on it is only useful for Yin attackers, but Bullets 1, 2, 5, and 6 all have Specular on them, meaning they check Yin DEF instead of Yang - meaning she fully benefits from Burn and Yin DEF DOWN (but does not benefit from Poison or Yang DEF DOWN). 

All of this combined means Marisa is an utterly absurd attacker with a ton of support and good breaks. Demolishing both hard content and farming alike, there’s only two other units currently who even compare to her, those being the Hifuu LostWord versions of Youmu and Reisen. She’s truly in a tier of her own, and if all you care about is power, she’ll blow up your enemies with style, lasers, and missiles.
