Element Type Chart

Chuuritsugata Heisoku Zensen
Expand
Chuuritsugata Heisoku Zensen (a Touhou LW original) refers to occlusion fronts that are neither warm occlusions nor cold occlusions. This is an apt temperament for Lyrica since she harmonizes the ensemble's music. Lyrica is endowed with Earth Phase, the element of stability, and Star Essence, symbolizing her creative freedom.

The encompassing and regenerative Earth Phase resists Fire Phase, because fire produces earth, but it is weak to Wood Phase, because wood parts earth.

The diverse and uncooperative Star Essence resists the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence, but it is weak to the charming and arrogant Sun Essence.

Character Shots

The Spread Shot of Lyrica Prismriver from the world shrouded in scarlet mist. She shoots illusionary sounds from her keyboard spirit. If you thought only living creatures could become phantoms, you might be surprised to hear that instruments, like Lyrica's keyboard, can become phantoms, too. This is possible because the definition of what is alive was much different in the past. People believed everything had a soul, even rocks, water, and wind.

The Focus Shot of Lyrica Prismriver from the world shrouded in scarlet mist. She creates stereotypical poltergeist noises in this attack. At times, sounds can be much more terrifying than visual stimuli. Humans are particularly susceptible to auditory illusions because our sense of hearing is less advanced than our vision. Hearing a mundane noise in a pitch-black room is all that's needed for us to imagine all sorts of unfathomable horrors.

A Spell Card of Lyrica Prismriver from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). This attack will later become ''Key Spirit: Bosendorfer Divine Performance.'' It is said that Spell Cards are a kind of contract. If you interpret this literally to mean that Spell Cards exist as paper documents, you may find it strange that sounds can be recorded on them. While music can be written down with various forms of musical notation or even stored digitally by converting these notations to binary code... such methods can never provide the full picture. If you wanted a perfect replica of a sound, you would have to record it as it happens.

The only thing separating dreams from illusions is your level of consciousness. However, unless a guide appears in your dream or illusion to enlighten you, it's impossible to tell whether you are asleep or awake until the experience ends...

The Last Word of Lyrica Prismriver from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). This attack will later become ''Noisy Sign: Live Poltergeist.'' This world's Lyrica has a poor view of anyone who would prolong an incident. As someone whose life work is harmonizing music, she is keenly aware that aesthetic beauty relies on harmony formed through cycles, balance, and waves. The world is a big place, so while there might be something that's eternally beautiful, generally speaking, beauty goes hand in hand with impermanence. Imperfection makes things beautiful, like how battles of bullets are aesthetically pleasing because the bullets can be dodged... Lyrica knows this also applies to music, which is why she thinks the mastermind behind this prolonged incident is both ignorant and uncultured.

Character Ability

Mainly capable of playing instruments without using her hands or feet
Expand
The ability of Lyrica Prismriver from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). It is essentially the same as our version of Lyrica's ability. As of yet, there aren't any reliable records of the Prismriver Sisters doing anything significant around the time of the Scarlet Mist Incident. It is assumed that the sisters of this world performed their own investigations into the incident. However, some people doubt that they even exist at all. Of course, this isn't all that unusual since Gensokyo is built upon the absurdity stemming from the fictitious nature of all youkai, apparitions, and spirits.

Perhaps similar to Lyrica in other worlds, this world's Lyrica is the smartest of the three poltergeist sisters. Her smarts usually get her in trouble, but they actually helped her in this one instance. She was able to understand what the Youkai Sage, Yukari Yakumo, was talking about.

As someone who loves to harmonize music, Lyrica has always wondered where harmony ultimately stems from. To create highly ordered harmony in a localized area, you must dislocate the forces antithetical to harmony, such as disharmony, dissonance, and chaos. If you don't, they will simply eat away at the order you created and invite more chaos to seep in from surrounding areas. This is what makes composing and arranging songs so difficult. The world will invariably skew toward chaos if left to its own devices. That's why it's so hard to pinpoint where harmony comes from. Rain descending from the heavens can cause ripples on a lake, but making ripples will never cause water to shoot back up into the heavens. Lyrica's instincts told her this would instead cause rain to fall somewhere else―somewhere close but not easily accessible. That is why she instinctually believed that Yukari Yakumo's hypothesis was correct―her hypothesis that neighboring worlds are connected by continuous waves that can be interpreted as music. And this is also why she was sure that Yukari couldn't possibly be the mastermind.

Lyrica thought back to what first spurred these thoughts and questions inside her. They originated from a bedtime story she used to tell every night after happily performing with everyone in front of the fireplace. The story wasn't based on logic or common tropes in literature. It was simply a prayer for how she wanted things to be. A white lie she told the old and weary Layla Prismriver to help her sleep.

Character Analysis

Lyrica Prismriver (Scarlet) was released on November 2nd 2023 on "Festival Prayer: Happy Scarlet Sonata." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

The Poltergeist trio of Prismriver Sisters are here to do what they do best once again! This time, we are met with a version of them who initially wanted to hold a concert in the Netherworld, but the Scarlet Mist incident may have become too big of an issue to ignore. Their youngest sister, Lyrica Prismriver and her keys of courage will help with investigating whatever incidents come around, like a certain crimson mist she is familiar with!

A6 Lyrica Prismriver is a Speed-Class Friend with team support via Spirit Power, Agility, Accuracy and Evasion as well as being able to inflict/break Poison anomalies, especially on a specific enemy.

As a Attacker / Supporter

  • Ways to increase Spirit Power both for herself and for the team. Increases her own Spirit Power by 1.25 via Skill 2 and increases the team’s Spirit Power by 0.25 via Skill 3 (every other turn) and Spell Card 1’s Post-ATK by 0.85.
  • Yang ATK buffs gained for herself via Skill 2 and Last Word Pre-ATK.
  • Yang DEF debuffs on enemies via Last Word Pre-ATK and some bullet lines like on her Spell Cards.
  • Grants Accuracy buffs to the team via Boosting and Skill 3.
  • Grants Agility buffs to the team when Grazing or using Skill 1 and Spell Card 1 Pre-ATK.
  • Has Slice Scaling to work with, which appears throughout her attacks.
  • A6 Lyrica has Soul, Youkai, Dream World, Vampire, Undead, Devil, Maid and Magician Killers.

As a Utility / Breaker

  • Elements are a mix of Earth, Fire and Star across A6 Lyrica’s kit.
  • Has an additional way of gaining Spirit Power: Absorbs Poison and Paralyze anomalies and gains 0.20 Spirit Power for every Poison/Paralyze anomaly inflicted on her. A6 Lyrica can achieve this by herself via Spell Card bullet lines on her Spread Shot and both Spell Cards.
  • Poison anomaly inflictions on enemies are achieved by using Skill 1 on all enemies, as well as 4 layers of it on a single enemy via Spell Card 2 Pre-ATK (as well as an additional infliction on a bullet line). Both Poison and Paralyze breaks can be achieved via Solo-Targeting Spell Card 2 and Last Word (2P and 3P respectively).
  • Takes 40% less damage against Scarlet Devil Mansion enemies.
  • Grants the team Evasion buffs via Skill 3, Spell Card 2 Pre-ATK and Last Word Pre-ATK. Also debuffs Accuracy of enemies via Spell Card 2 Pre-ATK. Could help avoid some damage in clear content.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on November 02, 2023)

Spell Card

CRIT ATK is an extremely important buff for A6 Lyrica to get, so a Story Card that can benefit her in that regard would help a lot. In addition, more Spirit Power wouldn’t hurt at all whether it’s for the team or for herself, and neither would Yang ATK buffs since that would help a bit too. Aside from a few other niche options, if you want to maximize Spell Card damage, Sharp Boosting Cards are the main way to go. 

CRIT ATK UP: Divine Spirit Tajikarao, Worlds in Hand, Bloody Order, New Year’s Shrine Visit VI, Miracle Mallet, Ordinary Magician, Standing Behind You, 19th Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai

Spirit Power UP: The Witch of Scarlet Dreams, Let the Oil Money Flow, Dancer in the Puddle, Taking a Breather in Spring, Post-Training Kinako Milk, Mountain of Faith, Road of Liminality’s Ennichi, Our Dream, Youkai Mountain Anniversary, It’s Spring!

Team Spirit Power UP: Divine Spirit Tajikarao, Myouren Temple Anniversary, Dancers Take the Stage!, Utopia Tea Time

Yang ATK UP: How Irrational…, Nameless Adventurers, Idola-Deus, By the Underground Lake, Ordinary Magician, Kasen’s Senkai, Members of the Yakumo Family, Stroll Through Former Hell, Fairies Under the Hot Sun

Accuracy UP: Ability Cards?, Taking a Breather in Spring, Secret Hobby, Shichi-Go-San School Visit?!, 8th Hakurei Shrine Fall Reitaisai

Party Barrier UP: Little Laplace’s Demon, Moriya Anniversary, Summer Rocket, Boundary of Sleep and Vigil, Tropico-Fantasia!

Target Yang DEF DOWN: Night-Splitting Light, Myouren Temple Anniversary, Beach Sanshoku Geidontei, Running Late

Target CRIT DEF DOWN: Little Laplace’s Demon, Moriya Anniversary

Sharp Bullet Power UP: The Heat of my Fingertips, I’m Alright!, Sporadically Margaret, How Irrational…, Fleeting Spring Dream

Top Yang ATK Stat Sticks: Myouren Temple Anniversary, Serene Sage, Summer God Fantasy Sea, Two Girl Rock Band, Congress of Sages, Silver Gale, Lunar Capital Stasis Plan, Moriya Anniversary, The Moon and Izayoi, Night Splitting Light, Little Sister and Sweets, Shooting Star Magician, Mountain of Faith, Fleeting Spring Dream

Top Agility Stat Sticks: Thunder Beat, Undercover Reporter, Protection of Cerpinus, Eat and Walk, My Favorites, I’ll Borrow This Until I’m Dead!, Heavenly Backup Dancers, Members of the Yakumo Family, Touhou LostWord

Yang ATK + Agility Stat Sticks: Two Girl Rock Band, Undercover Reporter, The Moon and Izayoi, Night-Splitting Light, Shooting Star Magician, Resort Stars, Cleaning, Secret Sealing Club Girls, The Witch of Scarlet Dreams

Last Word

Unlike her A6 sisters, A6 Lyrica’s Last Word is fully Light, and as for what would be her best Story Card, Silver Gale takes gold here, for its 50% boost in Fire (lines 2, 4 and 6) and an additional 45% boost in Light bullets. Other options that hit the right note include Reisen’s Moonlit Festival! and Puppeteer and Necromancer for their 50% Light bullet boosts, Congress of Sages gives a 40% boost but with a strong Yang ATK stat stick, and Kaguya’s Moonlit Festival! also boosts Light bullets but by 45%. Finally, for her attack being more Earth-heavy, Idola-Deus wouldn’t be a bad choice for its 40% Earth Bullet boost and a quick burst of Yang ATK.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

All Skills' cooldown rates stay the same whether it's at Level 1 or Level 10, but with Spirit Power and Yang ATK being helpful as it is, number 2, Arpeggio comes first for that reason. Next up will be Glissando for the additional Accuracy to ensure the team can hit their enemies. Finally, we have Tremolo which is useful in its own right for the team Agility buff as well as the Poison anomaly infliction on all foes.

Character Strengths

Keys of Support

Accuracy, Agility and Even Spirit Power, A6 Lyrica has what it takes to help out the team in this regard via Skills, Spell Cards and Ability. Accuracy is gifted by Boosting and by using Skill 3, Agility is granted to the team through Skill 1, Grazing and Spell Card 1 Pre-ATK, and Spirit Power for the team is gained via Skill 3 (0.25) and Spell Card 1 Post-ATK (0.85). It’s also worth noting that Skill 3 can be used every other turn so Accuracy buffs will always be there for allies, and that bit of Spirit Power every 2 turns never hurts.

Killers and Yang Buffs

Like her sisters from A6, this version of the Poltergeist Keyboardist has the same solid Killers to land surefire CRITs on a good chunk of enemies: Soul, Youkai, Dream World, Vampire, Undead, Devil, Maid and Magician are the group of Killers that A6 Lyrica can take advantage of. In addition, she can give herself a bit of Yang ATK via Skill 2 and Last Word Pre-ATK as well as debuff the Yang DEF of her enemies also via Last Word Pre-ATK and some Spell Card bullet lines.

Character Weaknesses

Critical Flaw

One thing you may have seen a notable lack of is A6 Lyrica’s absence of CRIT ATK buffs, and even CRIT DEF debuffs. If you want to help her with damage and taking advantage of Killers, definitely consider Story Cards that buff just that. It could be worth slightly buffing Yang ATK a little more while at it, but that’s a far less concern.

Seemingly Low Damage Potential

Even if CRIT ATK is accounted for and Killers are connected, A6 Lyrica struggles with damage output, especially compared to her sisters. For example, her mediocre Slice Scaling, no way of dealing additional damage with elements that are effective/resisted by enemies. That said, it might be possible to clear content just fine if using A6 Lyrica for damage, but it’s not going to be the best, especially if struggling with the aforementioned CRIT ATK issue.
