Eijitsu (a Touhou LW original) refers to a subsun, an optical phenomenon that appears as a glowing spot below the real sun. This is an apt temperament for this world's Mokou, a phoenix who has fallen to the ground. For some reason, it seems to be highly restrained due to interference by the colossal system of the Capital.
This temperament is specialized to solely resist Moon Essence.
The Spread Shot of Fujiwara no Mokou from the Lunar Base (a Touhou LW original). She focuses her flames and fires them like a laser beam. According to one theory, Mokou's ability to produce flames is just one of the youjutsu she has acquired over the many years of her life. However, the exact mechanics of how these flames are produced is unknown. This world's Mokou can't seem to use this ability freely, perhaps due to her ability being sealed, and so resorts to using a piece of equipment called a fire starter for assistance. Even Mokou feels the heat of her flames, but the fire starter absorbs heat from its user to cool them down. It then uses the absorbed heat to strengthen Mokou's flames.

The Focus Shot of Fujiwara no Mokou from the Lunar Base (a Touhou LW original). She releases blue flames that cover the battlefield. ''May Day'' is a day on which workers commission for higher wages, while ''mayday'' is a message sent to request aid. This attack, however, is named after neither. Instead, it gets its name from the May Day Offensive, during which this world's Mokou used the attack for the first time. That day's battle has already faded into history, and Mokou no longer speaks of it.

A Spell Card of Fujiwara no Mokou from the Lunar Base. This is an attack of an immortal. Fujiwara no Mokou is undoubtedly human, but people of Hourai are more accurately described as youkai. As such, Mokou's appearance and thoughts are human-like, but her physical composition and nature are distinctly non-human. That's right. She's like a doll made to look human.

A Spell Card of Fujiwara no Mokou from the Lunar Base. There are records that tell of a human boy named Mizunoe no Uranoshimako and his visit to the Lunar Capital. Making his visit possible was Watatsuki no Toyohime, who has the ability to connect the sea (the moon) and mountains (the Earth). In Taoism, Hourai is the name of the mountain where the divine immortals live. The mountain itself sits upon the back of a giant spirit turtle, which swims in the Eastern sea, and it shares its origins with the Dragon Palace from Japanese myth.

The Last Word of Fujiwara no Mokou from the Lunar Base (a Touhou LW original). And now, for a question. Can it be said that a person of hourai pre-resurrection and post-resurrection are the same individual? Yes, of course they can. So... what about a living person and the atomically identical version printed out after their death?

The ability of Fujiwara no Mokou from the Lunar Base (a Touhou LW original). It's unclear whether her ability is the same as Mokous' from other worlds. To determine that, one first needs to understand the deep connection between her and the colossal system of the Capital. Ultimately, however, her immortality as a person of Hourai is unchanged from that of other worlds' Mokous.
It may or may not be the same ability, but she's immortal nonetheless, meaning the mechanism behind her immortality may also differ.
Humans are formed from a body and a soul, with the body ensuring their mortality. However, the soul allows them to traverse a fate beyond death and be reborn. Ordinary humans require both a body and a soul.
A person of Hourai is someone who has gained immortality by drinking the Hourai Elixir. At this time (across all worlds), the following are the only known people of Hourai: Chang'e, Eirin Yagokoro, Kaguya Houraisan, Xu Fu, and Fujiwara no Mokou. It's theorized that the elixir works by combining the dual system of body and soul into one, meaning that people of Hourai have shed their original bodies and instead possess a body that has been merged with their soul. They are no longer a body and a soul―their soul IS their body.
It's said their souls are indestructible, and this is probably because their souls have been given directivity, which ensures their temperament remains concentrated in one location rather than dispersing. It can be likened to a magnet or shape-memory alloy, but one could also say the fundamental particles that come together to form temperament are each embedded with memories. It's almost like genetic engineering has been performed to internally mark each particle with an identifying mark.
It's also believed that memories stored in temperament are what fuel dreams, so no matter how far dispersed the temperament particles become, their need to cluster with similar particles returns them to the body from which they originated. This mechanism also staves off slowly accumulating and irreversible changes like old age and illness. It seems that only one with unprecedented genius and the ability to manipulate both eternity and the instantaneous could've created the mechanisms behind the people of Hourai's immortality.
This world's Fujiwara no Mokou is undoubtedly a person of Hourai. But there's something different about her. Over her many years of fighting, her body has been destroyed and regenerated countless times. Her being should remain unchanged… and yet, she has changed.
Maybe it's because of fatigue from battle. Or perhaps her changing is proof that the heart and mind are separate from a person of Hourai's soul. She cannot afford to flee from this fight, but fighting on is too much for her to bear. Without a heart, would she not suffer less?
For now, one can only wait for her to open up. Just what took place between her and the Capital?
For every layer of Barrier Status: Burn, Yang DEF, Yin DEF, CRIT DEF, and CRIT Evasion 1 level UP. Immune to Barrier Status: Freeze. When attacked with Freeze, recovers 5% of own HP.

Mokou (Defiant Blue Phoenix) was released on February 10, 2023 in Prayer “Defiant Blue Phoenix Ultra Festival”.
Twice now Mokou has shed her flames of eternal vengeance for a protective role. Taking on the role of Codename: Commander, the Defiant Blue Phoenix is the latest rebel to sweep the field. Her determination to keep her allies safe at all costs manifests as a Defense-Class Friend who boosts her party’s Defense, recovers Barriers and shields them from the ravages of Fire and Sun Elements.

Story Card Recommendations
(Card recommendations last updated on February 09, 2023)
Mokou will have to compensate for her lack of consistent Accuracy buffs should she lack teammates to help her in that area. Tools of the Trade thus returns as a cheap and easy to recommend card to outfit her with to take care of that shortcoming. The Witch of Scarlet Dreams is next to allow her to fire on all cylinders (Though Mountain of Faith would do better, especially on her Spell Card 2). Finally, to compensate for her lack of offensive support, consider going with Serene Sage to further boost her own Yang DEF while debuffing enemy Yang DEF.
Surprisingly, Satori’s personal Naraka works best in this slot. If you are unable to provide her an MLB version, however, Worlds in Hand, Bloody Order and Bonds of Blood will all increase her output as well.
Character Skill Level Up Recommendations
Skill 1, Soul Ignition should be prioritized mainly for the Spirit P boost it affords her to start off strong, while helping her allies with Yang ATK buffs. After that, players can opt to go either with Skill 2, Burning Suit to power up her DEF further, or Skill 3, Heat Dispersion to provide her team Barrier and Spirit P recovery, as well as some personal healing.
Character Strengths
Spreads her immortality around
A generous Mokou is a frightening ally to have. Her ability to help her team graze, heal or almost ignore damage sources is not to be trifled with. Coupled with her multiple sources of Focus UP and additional DEF buffs and healing, Mokou will keep your team healthy for a very long time.
Strong Barrier Breaker
Most of Mokou’s bullet lines feature an element that works on the enemy. Most of these are focused on Fire, with a minor degree in Sun, as well as a smattering of additional elements she’s taken co-curriculum classes for on her Spell Card 2. And while rainbow Spell Cards are generally frowned upon, she enhances this with her ability to inflict and simultaneously break Burn Anomalies on this attack.
Can pound the ground with her enemies with some setup
Mokou benefits from having both a high Yang ATK stat -and- a high Yang DEF stat she can scale Hard bullets off. With a ton of Yang DEF buffs already on her kit, all you need to do is fill in for her Yang ATK, Crit ATK and Accuracy before you start seeing those damage numbers rising.
Character Weaknesses
Balancing Anomalies on her kit can be annoying
Mokou earns different benefits from Burn and Freeze anomalies, with the former helping unlock her offensive capabilities through Hard scaling while the latter heals her passively each turn. With her self-inflicted Freeze coming from her misc attacks, Mokou will need to consciously fire off her Skill 2 early if she wants to avoid filling up her Barriers too early with the wrong anomaly. A minor quip to be sure, but worth considering when optimising runs.
Lacks Offensive support for herself and team
Aside from some minor Yang ATK buffs and Spirit P, Mokou doesn’t do much else when it comes to pushing damage numbers up. Her own Accuracy buffs are locked behind Spell Card use, with only her Last Word guaranteeing her a boost. She also lacks notable Killers, meaning you’ll have to boost her Crit Acc alongside her other stats if you want her to deal meaningful damage.
