Kasa

Expand

Kasa (a Touhou LW original) refers to the halo that appears when thin clouds pass over the sun or moon. It is a ring of light in the sky that looks like a white rainbow. The way this ephemeral phenomenon appears next to a bright light, as if by magic, makes it a fitting temperament for Akyuu, the Child of Miare. Akyuu is endowed with Wood Phase, with her duty to record her memories on paper, and Moon Essence, with the Child of Miare's cycle of reincarnation after death.

The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood.

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

Ink Shower

Hieda no Akyuu's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She attacks by flicking out droplets of ink from her brush. There is nothing special about the ink, but it is a rather difficult attack to dodge. This makes it an effective attack for the battle of bullets where getting hit incurs a penalty regardless of damage.

History of Yougakudan

Hieda no Akyuu's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). This is an attack where Akyuu reproduces Yougakudan music performances from memory. Yougakudan is the name of a FM Synthesis band that has long since disappeared from Gensokyo. She seems to use her whole body like a phonograph in this attack, but Akyuu actually remembers music more accurately than a vinyl record can.

Rain Man: Memory Savant

Hieda no Akyuu's Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). In this attack, Akyuu showers her targets with her memories like rain. In the outside world, there is a theory that people's memories are the fuel they burn to stay alive. Akyuu would be an extremely large fuel tank if that is the case.

Narration: A Voice to Be Trusted

Hieda no Akyuu's Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). This is an attack unique to Akyuu which utilises the abstract nature of memory. A person's perception of the world is an animated film pieced together from momentary and intermittent memories. Akyuu's perception of the world with her perfect memory may be more deep and profound than anyone realizes.

Ninth Volume of the Gensokyo Chronicle

Hieda no Akyuu's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). This is a peculiar attack that utilises Akyuu's memories and records of Gensokyo. If the contents of Akyuu's memories are perfect she should be able to produce the perfect attack... However, her memories aren't perfect, so her Last Word portrays a Gensokyo that is missing something.

Character Ability

Capable of not forgetting things seen once

Expand

Akyuu's ability is to remember and never forget anything that she experiences. This is also known as having a photographic memory. This ability has apparently been passed down through all the Child of Miare incarnations starting with Hieda no Are. Akyuu uses this ability to compile various books, the Gensokyo Chronicle being chief among them, and also sometimes acts as the secretary for meetings between religious leaders. However, she also appears to suffer from having to remember things that she'd rather forget. The Child of Miare appears to lose almost all of their memories when they reincarnate, so you could say that the Hieda house's large private library is their external memory repository. If any of the information stored in the Hieda house's library was tampered with, it would also tamper with the Child of Miare's memories and thus the Memory of Gensokyo itself... The retainers of the Hieda house bear a huge responsibility.

When using Boost, party's Yin ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).

Character Analysis

Hieda no Akyuu was released on August 6th, 2021 in "Prayer: Village Publishing Pair." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.

The ninth Child of Miare, a series of reincarnations with photogenic memories, Hieda no Akyuu serves as the Memory of Gensokyo. She is the author of the Gensokyo Chronicle, a sort of encyclopedia of Gensokyo. Once, this was simply to keep the scales of power balanced between humans and youkai - these days, in a more relaxed Gensokyo, it’s more of a guide for both human and youkai than anything else.

For farming, Akyuu enjoys some use as a buffer in the Akyuu Toyohime Kosuzu team for farming Chapter 2-7. Outside of that, she has a Solo Last Word that does low damage - don’t expect her to handle many Event stages, if any.

For harder fights, the Child of Miare is rather situational. She primarily provides CRIT Acc & ATK buffs to the team, with some Yin ATK and Accuracy on the side if you can give her turns to Boost and use her Last Word. She can also apply Blind with the Smokescreen bullets on her Spread Shot and first Spell Card. Unfortunately that’s about the extent of her strengths - her Barrier Break potential is below average, her damage is low, and she doesn’t fit as a partner for very many units due to how narrow her buffs are.

However, with all that said, when Akyuu’s good, she’s very good, due to how incredible CRIT ATK can be with the right teammates combined with how hard it can be to get. Just make sure you’re partnering her up with Friends who enjoy CRIT ATK, most notably crit heavy attackers and Friends with Killers applicable to your current fight.

Here are the chances for Akyuu’s secondary effects (per bullet):

Ink Shower: Chance for Blind 0%/30%/0%/30%/0%/30%

History of Yougakudan: Chance for Acc DOWN 0%/100%/0%/100%/0%/0%

Rain Man: Memory Savant: Chance for Blind: 0%/60%/0%/0%/0%/60%

Story Card Recommendations

Spell Card

Ordinary Magician

The Witch of Scarlet Dreams

For most fights, Akyuu probably won’t use her Spell Cards very much, so either look to Ordinary Magician to try to sneak in some extra Yang ATK UP or give her stat sticks with Yang ATK on them. If for some reason you need extra Spirit Power (such as attempting to leverage her Smokescreen bullets), look to Story Cards like Witch of Scarlet Dreams.

Last Word

Ordinary Magician

Since Akyuu isn’t likely to be farming any time soon, the extra damage that a Yang ATK Up Spell Card provides such as Ordinary Magician is preferred over anything else, as she doesn’t need to be super consistent and her Last Word already provides Accuracy UP.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

It's no exaggeration to say that School Texts is Akyuu's most defining skill, and should be leveled up first due to the additional damage output a 80% chance for a third Level of Cri ATK can provide. After, Insight of Miare is useful in crit comps, and can be maxed second. Lastly, whilst Spirit Power is always nice to have, Akyuu typically doesn't need a ton of it and as such Miare Ritual can be saved for last.

Character Strengths

+Provides useful buffs in the form of CRIT ATK, CRIT ACC, Yin ATK, and Acc UP
+Can apply Blind barriers

Character Weaknesses

-Whilst Akyuu's buffs are potent, not a ton of units benefit from CRIT buffs.
-Below average Barrier Break potential
-Low damage
-Acc UP support requires a turn to use her Last Word
