Element Type Chart

Aurora
Expand
Aurora (a Touhou LW original) refers to a natural light display that can be seen in the sky near the north and south poles. This is an apt temperament for Flandre, who has peculiar wings that shine with all the colors of the rainbow.

In this world, Patchouli used her magic to extract Flandre's many attributes to counteract her weaknesses. The defining attribute of vampires is blood, formed by the elemental combination of Fire Phase (body heat) and Water Phase (liquid). And the basement where she was confined is made from a combination of Earth Phase (underground) and Metal Phase (under lock and key).

The formless and passionate Fire Phase resists Wood Phase, because wood feeds fire, but it is weak to Water Phase, because water dampens fire.

The encompassing and regenerative Earth Phase resists Fire Phase, because fire produces earth, but it is weak to Wood Phase, because wood parts earth.

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 flexible and patient Water Phase resists Metal Phase, because metal collects water, but it is weak to Earth Phase, because earth directs water.

The combination of Fire Phase and Earth Phase cancels out any resistance or weakness to Wood Phase. The combination of Earth Phase and Metal Phase cancels out any resistance or weakness to Fire Phase. And the combination of Metal Phase and Water Phase cancels out any resistance or weakness to Earth Phase.

Flandre is also endowed with Star Essence due to her unique personality during her long stay in isolation.

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 Flandre Scarlet from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). She prepares for a card game in this attack. Flandre must know countless ways to pass the time, considering how long she's been confined to her room. She's probably gotten very good at shuffling cards by now. ''OK, I'm going to deal them out... Oh, right. You can't play poker alone.''

The Focus Shot of Flandre Scarlet from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). She begins her proof. Flandre is often misunderstood or thought to be mentally unstable, but perhaps her way of thinking is just different from the rest of us. If that's true, she might be able to use her unique perspective to perceive unpredictable truths. Like the gatekeeper's true identity...

A Spell Card of Flandre Scarlet from the world shrouded in scarlet mist. She finishes a card game in this attack. You can't play poker alone, but that's easily solved by becoming four people. It's not known whether Flandre actually clones herself for this purpose, but it would certainly let her play plenty of games. However, cloning herself in this way also makes her four times as destructive. The details of how exactly she clones herself are a mystery, but the fact that her identical selves can exist in different locations simultaneously suggests that she has some kind of ability to manipulate spacetime...

A Spell Card of Flandre Scarlet from the world shrouded in scarlet mist. She ends her proof. Regardless of what Flandre was trying to prove, her arguments are always backed up by a destructive power that seems to transcend all understanding. Her ability lets her move the ''eye'' of something into her hand and then destroy it. These ''eyes'' exist in all things. This sounds similar to mapping or transformation in a mathematical sense. It would be quite incredible if Flandre could intuitively sense a transformed world.

The Last Word of Flandre Scarlet from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). She unleashes the power she gathered during her long isolation. Her bullets are targeted at everything above her room in the basement where she was confined... In other words, the rest of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The mansion can be rebuilt, but it would not be a pleasant experience for anyone caught in this attack.

This attack is the culmination of her pent-up frustration at not being let outside, her grudge toward her sister for not letting her participate in the Scarlet Mist Incident, and much more besides. But she mainly created this attack because she desperately wanted to play outside! Isn't Flandre supposed to wait until the incident is over before leaving her room...?

Character Ability

Capable of destroying absolutely anything
Expand
The ability of Flandre Scarlet from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). It is essentially the same as our version of Flandre's ability. But isn't Flandre supposed to stay hidden during the Scarlet Mist Incident...?

Regardless, it seems this Flandre hoped her sister's incident would bring about an unprecedented change that would finally end her 495 years of tedium. Her anticipation started building when they moved along with their house to this new place called Gensokyo, and it kept building until she could no longer contain herself.

There is a lack of supporting evidence for this theory, but perhaps Flandre's ability to destroy derives from an ability to manipulate fate. She moves an ''eye'' to her hand, then destroys it... It's like she enforces a fate of destruction. If this is true, it would mean that Flandre intuitively sees the fate of things around her. So perhaps she knew the actions and intentions of everyone since the Vampire Incident.

She might have known that the purple youkai would present her with a super fun toy in the near future.
When using Boost, party's Yin ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).
DMG to effective elements 40% UP.
When using Graze, party's Agility 1 level UP (1 turn).
DMG from resisted elements 10% UP.

Character Analysis

Flandre Scarlet (Scarlet) was released on February 17, 2023 in "Festival Prayer: Vampire of the Scarlet Basement." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

In the basement of the Scarlet Devil Mansion lives the sister of Remilia Scarlet, Flandre Scarlet. While she may be shut off from the rest of the world, only time will tell before Flandre breaks out and destroys everything she comes across! Flandre shows this as a Speed-type character who is focused on Star and good turn 1 damage.

As an attacker:

  • Decent Turn 1 damage with her buffs and debuffs inflicted.
  • Has niche killers with Star and Magician killer, but can be relevant in more difficult stages like Chapter 4 Act 2 or Star EX.

As a supporter:

  • Grazing and Boosting can provide Agility and Yin ATK up respectively
  • Provides Spirit Power, as well as inflicting Yin defense down to all enemies with her skills.

As a breaker:

  • Star oriented breaker, with a mix of other elements to boot
  • Can inflict burn anomalies to help commit burn breaks, or break a large amount with her Last Word

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on February 16, 2023)

Spell Card

Spirit Power cards, while a handy tool, aren’t as needed for someone like Flandre. As such, you can opt for more support oriented cards, like Worlds in Hand for CRIT ATK support or Miracle Mallet for solo use. Mansion of Memories can support the team in terms of Yin ATK, though solo use may prefer Redder than Blood or Overwhelming Firepower. You can also opt for a mix of the two with New Year’s Shrine Visit VI. Finally, you can opt to boost her Last Word’s damage with cards that provide Yin ATK stats, preferring ones with Agility.

Last Word

As with a majority of Energy based attackers, Flandre’s best slot would be Unknown Barrier Team. Additionally, for a player starting out, you can use Touhou Lostword for a damage boost in the meanwhile.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Flandre would prefer to level up her 1st skill, Scarlet Bloodline, to level 5 first, as it provides her with 2 levels of Accuracy to ensure her attacks are accurate. Afterwards, her 2nd skill, Destructive Magic Girl, should be leveled up afterwards as it provides Team support as well as providing her with power. You can then finish her 1st skill, as it also gives her some additional damage with Agility scaling, as well as the ability to use more barrier breaks often. Finally, opt to max out her 3rd skill, Continue Seal, as it can boost her damage further with debuffs, as well as amplify her Burn breaks on Last Word

Character Strengths

Barrier Destroyer via Star Element and Burn Anomaly

A6 Flandre Scarlet go-to element would be Star, and she also has a little bit of Burn anomaly utility to work with. While she needs 3P for her Spell Card 1 and Last Word to break the Burn anomalies as well as 2P for her Focus Shot.

Supporting Capabilities, Mainly for Yin Friends

Thanks to her low cooldowns, A6 Flandre has the ability to support the team with Spirit Power and Yin DEF debuffs, while also providing Yin ATK by boosting herself. She is also able to boost the team’s Agility and Accuracy as well as more debuffs like CRIT DEF via Spell Card 1 and Last Word.

Character Weaknesses

Great Burst of Damage, but Peaks Early

Due to the amount of Yin ATK buffs and Yin DEF debuffs that she can inflict on the enemy on her first turn, A6 Flandre can easily deal a large amount of damage from the get-go. Part of this is also due to her ability to increase damage of bullet lines effective against the enemy by 40% (mainly Star). That said, her limited Killer range (Human, Shrine Maiden, Magician, Incident Resolver, Older Sister) make her damage with setup not as impactful.

Lacks Strong Elements Outside of Star

Her elements, aside from Star, lack focus which can make her tedious to use outside of Star oriented content. It will be very unlikely to be able to take advantage of those scattered elements in the form of Earth, Metal, Wood and Fire.
