Senpuu

Expand

Senpuu (a Touhou LW original) refers to the vortexes of strong wind called whirlwinds or dust devils. This is an apt temperament for Momiji, who circles around the mountain on patrol. Momiji is endowed with Wood Phase, as a tengu, and Sun Essence, with her lawful personality.

The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood.

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

Defensive Dog Offense

Momiji Inubashiri's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She uses her shield to attack. Throwing your shield may not be a realistic way to fight, but it sure is flashy. Throwing a shield, so it bounces back to you is a simple task for one with the superior senses of a white wolf tengu... Probably.

Nomad Wolf Sword

Momiji Inubashiri's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She uses her shield to attack. Charging with your shield aloft is a flashy and effective way to fight. You can surely overwhelm any opponent who tries to resist. White wolf tengu use this technique and work as a group to subdue intruders... Probably.

Mountain Nomad: Expellee's Canaan

Momiji Inubashiri's Spell Card. She spins and unleashes multiple spirals of bullets in this attack. Most cultures throughout the world describe some sort of ''promised land'' in their mythology. The history of the human race is the history of humans migrating across this planet. They travel in search of their promised land... The place where they eventually settle is most likely the land that was promised to them.

Thousand Wolves

Momiji Inubashiri's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). A thousand wolves pounce on her targets. It is perilous to encounter a pack of wolves in the mountains at night, all the more so if they are youkai wolves. You may be able to escape ordinary wolves by climbing up a tree. But youkai wolves... They'll still get you.

Character Ability

Capable of seeing one thousand ri ahead

Expand

This ability is vital for Momiji Inubashiri's patrolling duty. Ri is a traditional Japanese unit of measurement originating from the Chinese li. One thousand ri approximately equals 4000 km or 2500 miles. The ability to see extraordinarily far is a type of clairvoyance or telegnosis. The white wolf tengu supplement this with their wolf-like, heightened sense of hearing and smell. Momiji and the other white wolf tengu predominantly patrol the Youkai Mountain and the surrounding area. It seems that they are particularly vigilant of the area around the fairly recently constructed aerial tramway connected to Moriya Shrine. Momiji and the other white wolf tengu may actually be the most well-known denizens of the Youkai Mountain.

When using Boost, own Focus 1 level UP (1 turn).

When using Graze, own Yin ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).

Character Analysis

Momiji Inubashiri was released on January 11th, 2022 in "Prayer: Tengu Paparazzi & Patrol." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.

While the tengu are primarily seen residing around Youkai Mountain, Momiji Inubashiri is one of the tengu that specifically patrols the mountain along with her white wolf tengu guard. Her increased eyesight and sense of smell makes her very good at noticing intruders, not to mention her above average speed. On her off time she can be seen playing shogi with idle kappa or even arguing with Aya Shameimaru if they run into each other. She tries her hardest to guard, but Momiji finds herself as an E-Tier Friend in LostWord.

As a Defense-type Friend, Momiji takes her focus on defense to the max. Only her third skill, Clairvoyance, explicitly increases her Yin ATK by 2 levels, though Grazing can allow her to reach a max of 5 Yin ATK UP levels. Her Last Word, Thousand Wolves, technically has Hard scaling to increase her damage based on defense, but it is rather low, as can be seen below.

Momiji’s goal is to defend her party in challenging fights. Skill 1, Foliage Camouflage, decreases the Focus on everyone else to keep it on her while she makes sure she can handle the damage by increasing her Yin DEF by 6 levels total between her second skill, Bird of Boundaries (4 levels), and her third skill, Clairvoyance (2 additional levels). She can potentially get even more levels of Yin DEF from her first spell, (SC2), but each of these buffs are purely Yin-focused. Helpful for any Yin-only opponents for sure, but the intense increases of Focus will mean even All-targeting attacks will be doing greater damage to her. Without consistent barrier restoration, it can be questionable if Momiji will even survive for long against All-target spells in longer fights or even Yang-focused opponents.

Momiji’s only other significant debuff comes from decreasing a singular target’s Evasion by 2 levels with a 60% chance for an additional level. Her elemental breaks are low on her spells, having only 2 Wood breaks on each one, with Thousand Wolves at least having 3 extra Wood breaks when boosted twice. Unfortunately, that is about everything that stands out from Momiji’s kit. She is at least a very cooperative and dutiful guard, even if she is not the strongest.

The Hard scaling of Momiji’s spells are as follows:

Mountain Nomad: Expellee’s Canaan: 0%/0%/0%/15%/20%/25%

Thousand Wolves: 0%/0%/0%/20%/20%/0%

Story Card Recommendations

Spell Card

Valued Tools of the Trade

The Witch of Scarlet Dreams

Boo!

Without any of her own Accuracy or Spirit Power support, story cards that boost either become a heavy necessity for Momiji. Afterwards, buffs to her own Yin ATK can be prioritized or Yin DEF to keep her defense high, even if her Hard scaling is so low.

Last Word

Eating Contest

Every bullet of Momiji’s Last Word is a Body bullet, making the 45% power UP from Eating Contest very helpful in damage output. It also heals her own HP if she needs additional health after taking some hits for the team. Of course, without any Accuracy support her Last Word might still be inconsistent, so make sure to get Accuracy UP from another story card or a Friend’s support first.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Clairvoyance has the most important benefits at Level 10, giving Momiji a guaranteed 2 levels of both Yin ATK and Yin DEF UP. Secondly, getting Bird of Boundaries to Level 10 gives Momiji one turn of 4 levels of Yin DEF UP every 2 turns, helping her stay defensive whenever needed. Foliage Camouflage can have its uses for taking damage away from weaker teammates, but the prior skills make sure Momiji can actually take that pain.

Character Strengths

+Good amount of Yin DEF self-buffs
+Evasion debuff on singular targets

Character Weaknesses

-Underwhelming Wood breaks
-Low amount of Hard scaling on a low-power Last Word
-Rather specific Defense unit (Yin only)
