Element Type Chart

Shinkirou

Expand

Shinkirou (A Touhou LW original) refers to a mirage, which is an optical phenomenon where light rays refract and create an image in the distance. This is an apt temperament for Kokoro, who creates fantastical stories that stimulate the imagination of her audience through Noh. Kokoro is endowed with Earth Phase for her difficulty in changing herself and Star Essence for her boundless sensitivity.

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 diverse and uncooperative Star Essence resists the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence, but it is weak to the charming and arrogant Sun Essence.

Shouting Giant Spider Mask

Hata no Kokoro's Spread Shot. She puts on the Shikami Mask and spews spider webs. The spewing of webs is much like a scene from the Noh performance called Tsuchigumo. Could this have something to do with Yamame?

Roaring Youkai Fox Mask

Hata no Kokoro's Focus Shot. She dons the Fox Mask and bites the enemy. The Fox Mask was used for kyogen (performance of sorts between acts of a Noh play) or kagura (ancient Shinto music and dancing) and not the performance itself. Kyogen and kagura have the same origin as Noh.

Angry Mask: Mask of an Angry Hated Wolf

Dance of the Empty-Hearted Masks - Noh of Darkness

Hata no Kokoro's Last Word. An attack that has Kokoro donning a number of masks and performing Noh in total darkness. Kokoro is a menreiki, a tsukumogami of the masks that Hata no Kawakatsu was gifted by Prince Shoutoku. Hata no Kawakatsu is said to have created Noh using the masks, however the details remain a mystery. It is possible that this Last Word is called Noh of Darkness because its origins are not recorded in history.

Character Ability

Capable of manipulating emotions

Expand

Kokoro's ability to control the emotions of others. This ability apparently has a deep connection to the masks that she owns. The many masks that she has each govern a different emotion. Each Noh mask acts as a substitute for her deadpan expression, allowing her to express a variety of emotions. When the Mask of Hope was lost, the people of Gensokyo lost the ability to feel a sense of hope, leaving everyone seeking out a source of pleasure to fill that need. The prevailing theory is that Kokoro ran wild after losing the mask, which had an effect on those around her. Kokoro had no ill will toward anyone during the chaos. She was merely rushing to try and resolve the incident herself. Therefore, it is safe to say that she had no evil intentions when she was in control of the emotions of others... probably.

When using Graze, own Yin ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).

DMG received from effective elements 20% DOWN.

Character Analysis

Hata no Kokoro was released on December 17th, 2021 in Cheering Squad.

Hata no Kokoro is a menreiki youkai who first appeared in Hopeless Masquerade as the main antagonist. As per the norm with menreiki youkai, Kokoro is incapable of displaying proper emotions, and instead displays them through the use of her many masks. Because of this, her face is completely devoid of emotion and never wavers past that. This isn’t to say she isn’t capable of having emotions, however, as she’s actually rather childish underneath the “mask” she wears. Each of the 66 masks that she has in her possession represent a different, powerful emotion. Should she lose one of these masks, she loses that emotion completely which could lead to problematic events as seen in Hopeless Masquerade. In Touhou LostWord, Kokoro plays the role of a healer as an A-Tier Friend. This could be, perhaps, due to her ability to make others feel emotions similar to the masks she has on, transferring over to “healing abilities” well.

As previously mentioned Hata no Kokoro is a healer and possesses a couple healing abilities within her kit, fittingly so. Including her second Spell Card Melancholy Mask: The Man of Qi Worries about the Earth, Kokoro actually has upwards to 4 different party wide heals all ranging from 30%-40% of the party’s health. This alone makes her pretty useful to have in challenges such as Scarlet Devil Tower. Unlike many healers, though, Kokoro is actually quite good outside of healing. Kokoro’s kit revolves around Yin ATK almost entirely, which is incredibly helpful because she doesn’t have to worry about having mixed damage. Not only does her second Spell Card have solid healing capabilities, it can also remove barrier abnormalities in a pinch. Kokoro also packs quite a punch with her solo-targeting Last Word, Dance of the Empty-Hearted Masks - Noh of Darkness, which has the added benefit of buffing her own Yin ATK by 3 levels before sending out the attack. In addition to being a healer and a competent damage dealer, Kokoro is an extremely potent Earth breaker, having a grand total of 12 Earth breaks in total, with her Focus Shot even having a P0 Break by itself. In conclusion, Kokoro is a unit who performs well in many different situations, making building her a well-rounded choice.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on May 15, 2023)

Spell Card

Youkai Mountain Anniversary

Mansion of Memories

Choose an Animal Spirit

Spirit Power is never a bad thing, and in Kokoro's case, the same applies with buffing Yin ATK, Accuracy or CRIT ATK (if her Killers land), so cards like Overwhelming Firepower or Rainbow Dragon Cave work well when it comes to this, but New Year's Shrine Visit Vi keeps her Yin ATK buffs lasting that extra turn longer, allowing for flexibility in both Yin ATK and CRIT ATK. If you want though, Mansion of Memories has versatile usage for Kokoro, especially with her Spell Card 2, getting a little Energy buff in while also providing Yin ATK support. Accuracy will help Kokoro too since she doesn't have ways to get it by herself, so you can use cards like Valued Tools of the Trade, or even pass it all around the team with Ability Cards?.

Finally, if you need to keep up the Spirit Power, use cards like The Witch of Scarlet Dreams, Midnight Tea and Youkai Mountain Anniversary, the last one also providing a little more benefit to her Spell Card 1 due to the Body Bullet boost. With that said, if you want, you could go with cards that boost Body and Energy for either Spell Card, but conveniently enough, Choose an Animal Spirit can be used as a 50% boost for both, and with 3 Barriers on top of that, this Card stands out a bit in terms of this particular scenario.

Last Word

The Moon and Izayoi

Mysterious Sword Master

With Slash as part of Kokoro’s Last Word, The Moon and Izayoi and Mysterious Sword Master are hands down the best choices due to her already having her Yin ATK raised, thus more incentive to take advantage of either’s 50% Slash boost. As for which one trumps the other, it seems that Mysterious Sword Master actually takes 2nd place here (assuming her Accuracy is covered in advance). This is because The Moon and Izayoi also boosts Star by 40%, and while Kokoro has more Earth than Star, the 2 bullet lines containing Star make the difference here. Either way, you can’t go wrong here in terms of which one you choose for the masked menreiki.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

You’re going to want to prioritize her healing skills first equally, starting with Douji Mask. After the aforementioned skill and Oobeshimi Mask are maxed, Shinja Mask is your last focus.
