Kyokkou
Expand
Kyokkou refers to an aurora, a natural phenomenon that occurs near the poles where lights shine in curtain-like patterns across the sky. Tenshi's Phase and Essence endowments are unusual because her qi is balanced between her own ability to manipulate the earth, which is intrinsically tied to the flow of qi, and the power of her treasured Sword of Hisou.

Even though Tenshi may be looked down upon due to the means of her ascension, she is still a full-fledged celestial. Thus, she has the ultimate privilege and physical abilities of one who lives in Heaven, which makes her resistant to Sun Essence.

On the other hand, the earth (Earth Phase), which she is supposed to be in control over, is her weakness because of her lingering attachments and interest in it.

However, her temperament can potentially change greatly depending on the situation. (The last time this happened was due to her and her sword's abilities.)

Character Shots

Tenshi Hinanawi's Spread Shot. She shoots out beams of light from a keystone. You may think it strange that lasers are emitted from a keystone, but it is natural for lasers to come out of minerals. Since this keystone is from Heaven, the lasers it shoots are probably quite potent.

Tenshi Hinanawi's Focus Shot. She crushes her opponent between two stones―one from above and one from below. This is a special version of the attack which uses keystones. Be careful because it looks like the stones would hurt even more if they just caught the tips of your fingers or toes...

Tenshi Hinanawi's Spell Card. In this attack, she awakens the earth and uses it as a sword. This may be similar to feng shui techniques that alter the landscape by stimulating the rivers of flowing qi beneath the surface, known as ryuumaku. A certain ancient record states that ''Mount Tai became so big because it did not relinquish any soil.'' This is said to be a metaphor meaning that one has to be open-minded and accepting in order to acquire power and glory. At first glance, this philosophy may seem completely at odds with Tenshi's character, but not if you look closely at her actions. (Though she does not have many sympathizers who are willing to do so.)

Tenshi Hinanawi's Spell Card. She gathers the emotions of humans as qi to fire a powerful and highly-concentrated laser. This attack seems to be intrinsically linked to the Sword of Hisou's ability, as the expelled qi is the color of scarlet. According to a certain crow tengu, Tenshi mainly gathers negative emotions. However, the celestials living in the Sphere of Neither Perception nor Non-Perception believe that humans should abandon any and all emotion, so what they think of as ''negative emotions'' might be different.

Tenshi Hinanawi's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She drops a colossal keystone from an extremely high altitude. (It's a mystery as to where she gets it from.) No matter the object, be it a keystone or the staff of a god, it has plenty of destructive power solely due to its mass when dropped from a great height. Incidentally, even if this Last Word is used in the Underworld or on the moon, it shows some sort of vision where a keystone falls down onto a Gensokyo-like place. Perhaps this is related in some way to what Tenshi thinks of Gensokyo... and Yukari Yakumo, who dwells there.

Character Ability

Capable of manipulating the earth
Expand
Tenshi Hinanawi's ability as a member of the Hinanawi clan. Or, more accurately, this is the ability of the Nawi no Kami's servants. In ancient Japan, earthquakes were called nawifuru (na = earth, wi = place, and furu = shake), which later led to earthquakes just being called nawi. The Nawi clan were priests in Gensokyo who controlled earthquakes. Those in Heaven recognized their deeds, and they were welcomed to Heaven as the Nawi no Kami divine spirits. Their servants, the Hinanawi clan, ascended to Heaven along with them and became celestials. This is when Tenshi stopped being human and became a celestial, and when her name changed from Chiko to Tenshi. However, since the Hinanawi suddenly ascended in this manner, the other celestials labeled them as upstarts and inferior. They may have a point in regards to Tenshi, as she only became a celestial because her parents served the Nawi Clan, not herself. However, Tenshi's incredible power and strength prove beyond a doubt that she is a true celestial. Furthermore, while some may say she is selfish, she may well be capable of the magnanimous and noble bearing appropriate for a celestial, as she has shown a depth of prudence and wisdom toward a select few. Perhaps celestials also grow through experience and learning. It may seem strange for a celestial's ability to be related to the earth, but since ancient times, both the shaking of the earth and the shaking of the sky have been thought to be the breathing and fetal movements of the universe. The "shaking of the sky" is thunder and lightning, so earthquakes and lightning are very much connected. This may be why messengers of the Dragon Palace serve celestials.

Character Analysis

Tenshi Hinanawi was released on January 1st, 2022 in "Festival Prayer: Earth-Shattering Celestial." 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 Discord Official Discord Server.

Tenshi Hinanawi, Girl of the Sphere of Neither Perception nor Non-Perception, was once known as Chiko, or literally “Earth Child.” Rewarded for their service to Heaven, she and her family ascended as celestials, resulting in her taking on her new moniker of Tenshi (“Sky/Heaven Child”). A sheltered child, Tenshi grew bored of constant paradise, and came down to the earth during the events of Scarlet Weather Rhapsody to cause a ruckus. While she’s a bit of a brat, she’s certainly nice to her friends (such as Shion Yorigami), and is more than willing to help you out. So long as you keep her amused, at least.

For farming purposes, the celestial comes armed with an All targeting Last Word that brings not only tremendous turn 1 damage, but can also scale even further if Tenshi is given a turn to set up, allowing the heavenly celestial to brute force her way past most obstacles. 


Solo Stage Farms: 2-7-1, 3-3-3, Future Story Card Stages

For harder fights, Tenshi is a selfish damage dealer who justifies her slot on a team by having an earth-shattering output. Thanks to her Last Word, Trillion Ton Keystone Drop, having a 2-2-1 layout and 110%/110%/110%/0%/0%/0% Hard scaling, the celestial can deliver the harm and fast. If even more damage is needed, since she only has a bit of Yang ATK UP in her kit, additional levels of Yang ATK UP will boost her damage even further. Do keep in mind though damage is all you’re bringing her for - she has P0 Earth on her Focus Shot, and a somewhat above average 1/2/3 Solo targeting Earth Breaks for 0/1/2 Spirit Power on her first Spell Card, but beyond that her Breaks aren’t great. At first glance, Sky of Scarlet Perception of All Humankind’s 1 Fire, 1 Water, 1 Wood, 1 Metal, and 1 Earth Break would seem fantastic, but it's only 1 to 2 Breaks on any given enemy most of the time for 3 Spirit Power which is not great, but serviceable.

Story Card Recommendations

Spell Card

As Tenshi already has plenty of Yang DEF, alongside a Spell Card which can boost it further if need be, story cards which grant Yang ATK UP are her best bet. If you need additional Earth Breaks, or if using her in a multi-wave format such as Arena, Spirit Power UP can be useful to juice up her Spell Cards. Lastly, for stat fillers, look to Yang DEF and Yang ATK, favoring Yang DEF.

Last Word

Due to the Heavy and Earth power UP it provides, Dropping Keystones can’t be beat - with that said, Heavy power UP is also a great option, especially The Secret God Of The Sky, which has a 50% Heavy power UP. Earth power UP and Yang ATK UP are her other options.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Immortal Fruit provides the highest damage output increase between the Yang DEF and Spirit Power UP and should be levelled first. Afterwards, Keystone Technique also provides a solid damage increase. Finally, Sword of Hisou isn’t quite as useful and can be levelled last, due to the Accuracy already on Tenshi’s Last Word - it is, however, still useful for content in which she’ll be using her other attacks, but due to the relatively minor gains it can wait if other units need training first.

Character Strengths

+Incredible damage output, including an All-targeting Last Word great for farming events
+P0 Earth on her Focus Shot

Character Weaknesses

-Selfish attacker, brings no utility
-Breaks are otherwise middling
