Character Analysis
Keine Kamishirasawa was released on September 9th, 2021 in "Prayer: Creators of Fiction(?) & Fact." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.
Keine Kamishirasawa is a character first introduced to us in Touhou 8: Imperishable Night. Keine's species is specified to us as a "Were-Hakutaku" or a human that can also turn into a hakutaku. On a day-to-day basis, Keine lives and works as a schoolteacher at a human village and also acts as the village's guardian, defending it from any oncoming threats. In her human form, Keine has the unique ability to "consume" history. In simpler terms, this power is simply the concealing of history from outside viewers. In her hakutaku form, which is revealed under the light of a full moon, Keine is able to create history in opposition to her human ability and she is also aware of the entire history of Gensokyo in this state.
For farming, Keine's Last Word deals plenty of damage on turn one, on the likes of other farmers such as Yuyuko Saigyouji or Ran Yakumo. Watch out for the abundance of Sun on it however, as she can run into some problems against Sun resistant enemies as a result.
For harder fights, Keine is most known for the high amounts of Yang DEF up she provides using her second skill, Manuscript giving the entire party 2 Levels of Yang DEF UP for 2 turns, and her third skill Auspicious Omen giving the entire party another 2 Levels of Yang DEF UP for 2 turns. In addition, her Character Ability provides the whole party 1 Level of Yang DEF UP for 1 turn every time she boosts. On surface level, this may look a little weak because it doesn't do anything for damage but that isn't exactly correct. The added Yang DEF is useful for the defense it provides Keine and her teammates but it also meshes well with Hard. This essentially means that, for attackers who are Yang focused and have Hard scaling, Keine is effectively increasing the end result of her damage with their buff, making Keine a potent Hard attacker support. Her All targeting Last Word, Emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun, also possesses 50% Hard and 100% Hard on the first and second + sixth bullets respectively, alongside Gensokyo Killer on bullets three, four, and five. While she would still require some external Yang ATK support to make the most use of this attack, she still matches the likes of Ran Yakumo without any support.
Keine also makes for a alright Sun and Metal Breaker, possessing 2 overall Sun Breaks and 2 Metal Breaks, which only adds to her usefulness. You can also squeeze out an additional 4 Sun Breaks from her Last Word, if you're willing to use it for that purpose. However, no unit is without its faults. The issue with Keine's main utility is that, while still helpful and abundantly desirable, Hard attackers will usually have some sort of DEF support fitted into their kit already which can nullify Keine's overall helpfulness to an extent. In addition, the lack of breaks on her Spell Cards can cause her to fall flat if that is being used as her main utility. Regardless, Keine is an excellent unit that is sure to make an impact on your party.
Here are the relevant scalings for Keine:
1st Spell:
Hard: 0%/60%/60%/0%/60%/70%
2nd Spell:
Hard: 0%/70%/80%/0%/80%/0%
Last Word:
Hard: 50%/100%/0%/0%/0%/100%
Story Card Recommendations
Spell Card
Keine will want Yang ATK up primarily, though any Spirit P support does help for breaks if you're using her for that, albeit her not being the best for it.
Last Word
You can't beat the Laser Bullet power and Yang ATK support that Ordinary Magician gives for Keine.
Character Skill Level Up Recommendations
It is important that you first prioritize Auspicious Omen, as it the buffs it provides and added Barriers is very useful to Keine's purpose. Secondly, Manuscript is your next priority, as this adds two more levels of party-wide Yang DEF to her arsenal. Lastly, Lecture is useful to supporting Keine's overall damage and the focus helps makes use of her high amounts of DEF.
Character Strengths
+Rather high damage All targeting Last Word that can farm
+Extremely high levels of Yang DEF UP support
Character Weaknesses
-Fairly modest top end for damage without Yang ATK support
-Low Focus UP for a tank.
-Element access is below average, unless willing to use Last Word for Breaking.
