Aozora
Expand
Aozora (a Touhou LW original) refers to clear weather. An apt temperament for Youmu, who refrains from any unnecessary thoughts. Youmu is endowed with Metal Phase, by using her sword, and with Star Essence, as she is often absentminded.

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 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 Youmu Konpaku from the world with a never-ending winter (a Touhou LW original). Her phantom half splits into two, and both shoot bullets. Who would've thought that she was able to split her phantom half...?! Youmu Konpaku is a mixed race of phantom and human. The phantom beside her human appearance is her phantom form. Phantoms have a lower body temperature than humans. Since Youmu is half-human and half-phantom, she apparently has a slightly low body temperature. Youmu's favored techniques are to unleash complex combination attacks from her human and phantom bodies.

The Focus Shot of Youmu Konpaku from the world with a never-ending winter (a Touhou LW original). An attack Youmu attempts with an empty mind. Many of the techniques used by Youmu are reminiscent of Buddhist terminology. Youmu herself does not seem to have much faith in religion... but there may be enlightenment at the end of the path for those who follow the way of the sword.

A Spell Card of Youmu Konpaku from the world with a never-ending winter. The bullets in this attack are reminiscent of the three kon and seven haku that make up a human being. There is a teaching in Taoism that the human spirit is made up of three kinds of kon (also known as hun) souls that return to Heaven when one dies, and seven kinds of haku (also known as po) souls that return to the Earth. Does that mean with Youmu's sword techniques, even souls can be cut into pieces...? That's terrifying!

A Spell Card of Youmu Konpaku from the world with a never-ending winter. An attack that seems to stop time, but doesn't. Apparently, someone said that this is a sign of Youmu's impatience. Regardless of her condition, her sword technique is still on point. She should not be underestimated.

The Last Word of Youmu Konpaku from the world with a never-ending winter (a Touhou LW original). She unleashes bullets of wildly reflecting sword slashes. This is a special technique that should not have been perfected yet but was made possible by the ongoing incident. Using not only the lunar surface but also the sweltering scent of cherry blossoms, Youmu's sword flashes repeatedly and intricately to overwhelm her opponent. Also, the poem that she recites before the technique is an original created by Youmu, which she learned by imitating... apparently.

Character Ability

Capable of handling sword techniques
Expand
The ability of Youmu Konpaku from the world with a never-ending winter. It is essentially the same as our version of Youmu's ability. However, this Youmu may be involved in prolonging the Spring Snow Incident. It is almost certain that the Spring Snow Incident was caused deliberately by Yuyuko Saigyouji. Further explanation of the incident will be mentioned on another profile, but it is said that the cause of the incident is Yuyuko wanting the Saigyou Ayakashi to bloom by gathering spring. In fact, it was Youmu who actually collected the spring, and as a result, Gensokyo was covered in snow and cold air, resulting in an incident where spring never came. In this Youmu's world, the incident that was supposed to be quickly resolved has continued for a long time. This is different from the original history, and two of these differences are listed below: - Reimu and the others are not powerful enough, or her opponents are insanely overpowered, making them unable to resolve the incident. - No matter how much spring Youmu collects, she could not reach a sufficient amount of spring, and her spring collection never ends. Unless both of the above are occurring at the same time, it is unlikely that the Spring Snow Incident could persist for so long.
DMG to effective elements 20% UP.
DMG to resisted elements 20% UP.
When using Graze, own CRIT ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).

Character Analysis

A7 Youmu Konpaku was released on February 10th, 2022 in "Festival Prayer: Half-Perfect Gardener of Spring (Conflux of Worlds)." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

Youmu Konpaku, the Phantom-Human Gardener, hails from a world where winter is eternal, where the events of Perfect Cherry Blossom never ended. Due to her mistress’ desire to see the Saigyou Ayakashi bloom, Youmu tirelessly gathers spring - for an impossible goal, for a tree that will never bloom, resulting in a neverending winter. While she’s not busy gathering spring, she can fight on your behalf.

Thanks to Youmu’s impressive damage output, she is capable of farming a fairly large number of event stages in one turn, and even more if she’s given two turns thanks to the backloaded nature of her Last Word. She’s also hurt less by resists than other units, thanks to her character ability granting 20% more damage to resists - it also grants 20% more damage to weaknesses, but this can be somewhat harder to make use of, due to the mixed nature of her Last Word. For Story Card farming purposes, she is capable of farming the 2-7-1 Story Card (Witch of Scarlet Dreams) by herself. 

Solo Stage Farms: 2-7-1 

In harder fights, Youmu takes the role of an attacker with heavy CRIT/Killer support. Between her Last Word and skills, she’s capable of giving her party 2 Levels of CRIT ATK & Accuracy UP (2T) as well as 3 CRIT DEF DOWN (3T) to all enemies - though the DEF DOWN requires one turn of waiting for most attackers to make use of, due to the Charge Youmu self-inflicts with her third skill. Her Spell Cards also have access to Yin and Yang DEF DOWN for the first and second, respectively, but their Solo targeting nature makes that aspect somewhat situational. Youmu herself can take advantage of this with her All targeting Last Word, Matsuyoi-Reflecting Satellite Slash - Distant Flowers, which has both a high base CRIT rate, as well as the powerful Gensokyo killer on bullets 5 and 6.

Lastly, her other attacks bring a good degree of support as well - between 1 All targeting Metal Break for 0P on her Focus Shot, 4 Metal & 2 Water Solo targeting Breaks for 3 Spirit Power on her first Spell Card, and 4 Water and 2 Metal Solo targeting Breaks on her second Spell Card, with a bonus 3 Wood and 3 Moon All targeting Breaks on her Last Word (should you need them), Youmu’s got plenty of Breaks to spare. 

Overall, Youmu’s a strong attacker with plenty of support for CRIT and Killer-heavy units. Just don’t ask her to think too much about the consequences of her actions - based on her causing the never-ending winter in her world, that clearly isn’t her strong suit.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on May 13, 2023)

Spell Card

With all the Water and Metal Breaks A7 Youmu has access to on her Spell Cards, it will help to take advantage of those with cards like The Witch of Scarlet Dreams and its 2.00 Spirit Power UP effect. If that is already covered, cards that can increase Yang ATK, Yin ATK and CRIT ATK will help a ton as well. Ordinary Magician, Overwhelming Firepower and Miracle Mallet are all great go-to options for buffs in Yang ATK, Yin ATK and CRIT ATK respectively (Ordinary Magician also slightly boosts CRIT ATK as well), and even New Year's Shrine Visit VI will be great for allowing Yin ATK and CRIT ATK to last 3 whole turns! If you want a Yang ATK buffer that lasts 3 turns as well, Kasen's Senkai does that too.

But what if you just want to take advantage of the Sharp bullets with a 50% Sharp Card? Good thing cards like Sporadically Margaret and I'm Alright! will have you covered!

Last Word

As the third bullet of Youmu’s Last Word has a 100% Accuracy UP effect, the combination of +2 Accuracy UP and +50% Slash Power UP that Mysterious Sword Master provides allows consistency on all bullets. If you don’t have access to it, any form of Accuracy UP will suffice. However, if you really want to, assuming that Accuracy isn’t a worry, The Moon and Izayoi isn’t a bad choice at all.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

If you’re using Youmu to 1T farm, Spring Gathering should be her first priority, due to the 1 Spirit Power UP it grants at skill level 10. Otherwise, Immature Swords gives a party-wide increase (and raises her own CRIT consistency) and should be prioritized first, then Youki’s Teachings, and finally Spring Gathering if it wasn’t already leveled.

Character Strengths

+ Fantastic support for CRIT and Killer attackers
+ High All-targeting damage on Last Word
+ Good access to Water and Metal Breaks, including P0 All targeting Metal on a Basic Shot
+ Can farm the Witch of Scarlet Dreams Story Card (2-7-1) by herself

Character Weaknesses

- Somewhat back-loaded damage
- CRIT is inconsistent
