Element Type Chart

Sou

Expand

Sou refers to drizzle and scattered rain. This is an apt temperament for Suika, who is capable of manipulating density. Suika is endowed with Metal Phase, the element of the oni, and Moon Essence, with her fondness for change.

The cold and silent Metal Phase resists Earth Phase, because earth bears metal, but it is weak to Fire Phase, because fire refines metal.

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

Kishin's Will-o'-Wisp Art

Suika Ibuki's Spread Shot. She summons a will-o'-wisp up from the ground at her target's feet and then makes it explode. Will-o'-wisps are orbs of blue-tinted fire that appear in graveyards and swamps. They are also called hitodama (human souls), kitsunebi (fox fire), or onibi (oni fire) in Japan. It is said that will-o'-wisps are caused by the combustion of phosphorus gas produced by decaying organic material, but others say that they are caused by some sort of plasma effect. The truth has yet to be determined.

Suika Ibuki's Focus Shot. She blows out a cloud of spirit power that she gathered up. The sake lees created during the brewing process are sometimes called flowers. This attack may be a byproduct of Suika's drinking.

Oni Sign: Missing Power

Suika Ibuki's Spell Card. She regains her lost oni strength and attacks with reckless abandon. For some reason, Suika has lost the strength that she once had at the height of her power, but this Spell Card seems to indicate that she can regain a portion of this strength when certain conditions are met. Oni are rarely seen in Gensokyo and not much is known about what happened to the other oni or their current whereabouts...

Night Parade of a Million Demons

Suika Ibuki's Spell Card. A profusion of bullets are successively shot out in this attack. The Night Parade is a procession of mysterious youkai that feature in many Japanese folktales. It is said that your life is forfeit if you ever meet the Night Parade, but some stories infer that this can be avoided by pretending to be drunk.

Renewed Bloodsucker Doujigiri

Suika Ibuki's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). This attack recreates the Doujigiri katana by compressing memories. A katana with the same name exists in the outside world and is a national treasure of Japan. It is thought that Suika's past is deeply connected to this katana, but the details are unclear. It's possible that this may have something to do with Suika's lost strength, her dislike of lies, and the weakness for sake that all oni have.

Character Ability

Capable of manipulating density

Expand

Suika's ability allows her to alter the density of various things. She can use it to change her own body into a mist. Also, changing the density of objects lets her indirectly manipulate heat, which she uses in battle. The reason she is able to become a giant and create tiny clones of herself is presumed to also be due to this ability. Suika can apparently even create something like a black hole when she takes this ability to its extremes. This is an incredibly versatile ability that could be applied in all sorts of situations, but perhaps due to Suika's straightforward personality, she only uses it in a fairly limited manner.

When using Graze, party's Yin ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).

DMG from effective & resisted elements 20% DOWN.

Character Analysis

Suika Ibuki was released on June 25th, 2021 in "Festival Prayer: Dreams, Illusion, and Sake." She was initially a Festival on release and later added to the general pool. For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.

Suika Ibuki is a fairly atypical oni. She’s smaller than most of her kind, with more of a penchant for trickery and plotting. Still though, she lives for what most oni do - drink and party, to the point where she claims she hasn’t been sober in hundreds of years. And like most oni, even if she’s a bit of a trickster and underhanded, she’s still devastatingly powerful. Between her ability to grow to gigantic or shrink to tiny sizes, or just plain out knocking someone out with her overwhelming power, Suika Ibuki is a powerful Friend.

For farming, Suika’s All Last Word deals remarkably good damage on turn 1. It’s all Metal Element however at 1 Power, and Suika’s damage isn’t quite good enough to compensate for this. To a limited extent, the Anti-Human and Anti-Youkai damage on the second Bullet can help, but for the moment you may find Suika runs into some trouble against Metal-resistant foes, especially if she is not fully Awakened with a maxed out Skill 3.

For hard fights, Suika is a unit who does it all well. She brings the prior mentioned incredibly damaging All Last Word, but on top of that she also brings a wide suite of team support. Between her passive providing team wide Yin ATK Up on graze, her All Last Word providing Yin & Yang DEF Down, and her second Spell Card providing team wide Accuracy up, Suika’s team support would be remarkably good even if she didn’t do much damage. Perhaps the only real flaw she has in hard fights is her Barrier Breaking access is merely above average, between a 1 Fire Break at 0 Power basic shot and 1/2/3 Fire Breaks for 0/1/2 Power on her second Spell Card.

Overall, Suika’s a remarkably strong unit who brings both a ton of damage and a lot of team support to the tale. She might look small, but she’s still an oni!

Here are the chances for Suika’s secondary effects, alongside her Hard scaling (per bullet):

Kishin's Will-o'-Wisp Art:
Hard: 25%/0%/0%/0%/30%/35%

Forgathering Spiritual Flowers:
Chance for Evasion DOWN: 20%/0%/0%/0%/0%/30%

Oni Sign: Missing Power:
Hard: 0%/15%/0%/0%/25%/25%

Night Parade of a Million Demons:
Absorb: 0%/10%/0%/15%/0%/20%

Renewed Bloodsucker Doujigiri:

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on May 15, 2023)

Spell Card

The Witch of Scarlet Dreams

Redder Than Blood

Miracle Mallet

When it comes to Story Cards, focusing on what is important here such as Yin ATK, CRIT ATK and Spirit Power is the way to go here. Suika cannot provide herself Spirit Power so we need to support her with 2.00 Spirit Power cards like The Witch of Scarlet Dreams, or Youkai Mountain Anniversary and Mountain of Faith for Spell Cards 1 and 2 respectively if you want to have fun with damage too.

Now for CRIT ATK, Suika doesn't provide this for herself naturally so to take advantage of her Youkai Killer on her Last Word, Miracle Mallet, Worlds in Hand, and Bloody Order help with this. Yin ATK buffs can also be performed with cards like Overwhelming Firepower, Rainbow Dragon Cave and Redder Than Blood. If you have access to this card though, New Year's Shrine Visit VI handles both by making their buffs last 3 turns.

If you want to focus more on Spell Card 1's damage though, you could use cards like Stand-In Shrine Maiden, Beach Sanshoku Geidontei and Choose an Animal Spirit for the Body boost, as well as Puppeteer and Necromancer for the non-elemental bonus as well as Yin Stat sticks. And if you want more damage from Spell Card 2 specifically, Silver Gale, Puppeteer and Necromancer and Bonds of Blood work too.

Last Word

Disillusion

Mysterious Sword Master

The Moon and Izayoi

For a long time, Mysterious Sword Master was far and away Suika's best option, then The Moon and Izayoi became a notable option due to similar Slash effects, just lacking the extra Accuracy. As long as Accuracy is covered like from her Second Spell Card, both of those are outdone by Disillusion in spectacular fashion! The important Yin bullets also being Metal (lines 1, 2 and 6) will get a 95% boost, and while we can't take advantage of these effects just yet, it's a case of "Please wait warmly", so settling with Mysterious Sword Master and The Moon and Izayoi (most cases the former) will be perfectly fine.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Three Chain Weights should be prioritized first and leveled up to 10, as it provides Suika with a not insubstantial amount of extra personal damage. Secondly, Oni Are Never False should be leveled up to 10, as the extra Barrier allows Suika to be more flexible with her Graze. Lastly, Ibuki Gourd can wait, as the survivability, while nice, isn’t strictly needed for Suika to do her job.

Character Strengths

+ Extremely damaging All targeting Last Word at 1 Power that scales well with additional Spirit Power.
+ All-target Last Word inflicts 2 Levels of Yin & Yang DEF Down for 3 Turns
+ Graze provides 1 Level of Yin ATK Up for 1 Turn for entire team
+ Second Spell Card provides 3 Levels of Accuracy Up for 3 Turns for Suika’s entire team

Character Weaknesses

- Only team support is on her Last Word's debuffs
- Very low on focused elemental breaks
