Sekki
Expand
Sekki (a Touhou LW original) refers to auroras as they were referred to in old literature. An aurora's rarity and flickering red waves are similar to Flandre. Perhaps because of her non-Eastern origins (or maybe just because of her transcendental way of thinking), Flandre's temperament deviates from the usual laws of Phases and Essences.

She is weak against Sun Essence with its governance of day, Water Phase with its barrier properties against vampires, and Wood Phase with its legendary use in defeating vampires.

She is strong against Moon Essence and Star Essence with their governance of night as well as Metal Phase with its position as a symbol of universality.

Character Shots

Flandre Scarlet's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). Flandre created this shot based on Starbow Break so that she could play with the fairies at the lake. She came up with the name after Sanae saw her practicing the shot and said that it looked like an electromagnetic specter.

Flandre Scarlet's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). Flandre made this shot based on Forbidden Fruit so that she could have battles of bullets with Marisa and the others. She came up with the name after Patchouli, who had been supervising Flandre's training, suggested that Flandre use the name of the tree of life, since the shot was based on the forbidden fruit.

Flandre Scarlet's Spell Card. She traps her target within a ring of bullets, only to shoot more bullets at them. Perhaps it overlaps with Flandre's own situation of having been in the same room for 495 years. Incidentally, this attack has the danger of becoming impossible to control, which might be why it is taboo.

Flandre Scarlet's Spell Card. She rotates a long crimson pillar of light and uses it to attack. Apparently, it is a counterpart to Remilia's Gungnir. Laevateinn is a weapon from Norse mythology―perhaps Flandre enjoyed some Norse myths during her long time indoors.

Character Ability

Capable of destroying absolutely anything
Expand
An incredibly threatening ability, as the name suggests. Flandre once used this ability with Remilia to destroy a meteorite aimed at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The range of the ability, how it destroys, and the cost for using this ability is not clear, but apparently, every object has something called an "eye" which is where its tension is highest. By moving this eye into her hand and squeezing it, Flandre is able to destroy the object the eye belongs to. Just hearing about this ability is enough to make anyone's chest feel tight.
Immune to Barrier Status: Blind. When attacked with Blind, Spirit Power 0.20 UP.
When using Boost, own Yin ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).

Character Analysis

Flandre Scarlet was released on June 4th, 2021 in "Prayer: Waltz of Madness." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

The Sister of the Scarlet Devil, Flandre Scarlet is a vampire with a dreadfully powerful ability and nearly no self control. It’s for these reasons that she often remains within the Scarlet Devil Mansion, rarely going out as she might wreak devastation without being careful. This lack of self control combined with her ability to destroy absolutely everything makes for a flawed, but potent Friend.

For farming, Flandre is completely unsuited. Whilst her Solo Last Word can do some serious damage, even at 1 Power, its base 50% Accuracy means she can’t hit 100% Accuracy, even with a Story Card that provides 3 Levels of Accuracy Up - the highest a Story Card can provide. This introduces enough variance that she will occasionally fail to clear a stage by herself, although this factor can be mitigated if you provide her with a teammate to support her.

For challenge quests, Flandre requires a lot of support to outperform other attackers, and her Solo targeting Last Word does make her usually outclassed by All attackers. Due to the unusually inaccurate nature of her Last Word, she cannot hit 100% Accuracy even with 10 Levels of Accuracy Up/Evasion Down - which is the cap of Accuracy buffs. She will require Paralyze Barriers to be applied on her target to be fully accurate, which means she will never be 100% accurate against a target under Full Break, as you cannot apply Paralyze Barriers if there are no Barriers to Paralyze. She also provides almost no Break support, - of her attacks, she’s only able to hit 1 Fire Break with her second Spell Card at 0 Power, and 1 more at 3 Power.

With that said, she can still put in some serious work, and especially shines in fights with 1 or 2 priority targets, being able to annihilate one with her Last Word and apply 3 Levels of Yin DEF Down on another. Her Last Word is so devastating in fact, that even making it fully accurate alone will make it deal over four times what the likes of Yuyuko can do - if you also provide her with Crit Accuracy and Damage support, she can deal millions of damage, shattering the visual damage cap. Usually hilariously overkill, but there are occasionally fights that justify that sheer amount of damage.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on October 31, 2022)

Spell Card

Due to her extreme hunger for Accuracy, on top of needing 3 Power to fully utilize her Last Word, Flandre wants at least one Spirit Power UP card, and a card that provides 3 Levels of ACC UP for 2 turns. If you can provide her enough Accuracy otherwise that she doesn’t need it from her Story Cards, look for YIN ATK UP cards instead. Unlike many other characters, you’ll probably never use stat sticks on Flandre, as she always needs time to set up, but if you have a free slot look to Story Cards that boost YIN ATK.

Last Word

When it comes to Flandre’s Last Word, you have two options, depending on what kind of support you provide her. You can opt to using her best in slot card, which is Unknown Barrier Team if you are able to successfully provide her with enough accuracy support. If you do not have this card, you can use YIN ATK UP cards such as Overwhelming Firepower instead.

With the amount of Friends present in the game right now, getting enough Accuracy support from the team through their skills has been easier. However, if you have limited amounts of Friends that can provide this, a story card that gives 3 ACC UP, such as Valued Tools of the Trade at max limit break, will be your best bet.

Character Strengths

+ Devastatingly powerful Solo Last Word - at max potential.
+ Reasonably solid team support for Yin attackers with 3 Yin DEF Down against a single target.

Character Weaknesses

- Due to unusually low accuracy, she requires heavy accuracy support.
- Requires 3 Power for maximum potential.
- Unusually poor access to elements, having only 1 Fire Break on one Spell Card at 0 Power and 2 Fire Breaks at 3 Power.
