Atmospheric Yellow Dust

Expand

Atmospheric Yellow Dust (a Touhou LW original) refers to yellow dust that exclusively travels high up in the sky. Blocking out the sun is a job assigned to a vampire's servant. It must be done at any and all times when the sun shines.

Meiling's true identity is unknown. Perhaps her dreams of fighting against Taisui Xingjun (strong against Wood Phase) hint at some secret from her past.

She is so exceptionally skilled at manipulating qi that she can even rotate the stars in the sky. It's as if she's fused with a star spirit (strong against Moon Essence but weak to Sun Essence).

Magic Colorful Rain

The Spread Shot of Hong Meiling, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She releases magic-infused colorful rain. In the West, youkai are considered magical creatures. The Scarlet Devil Mansion is a blend of both Eastern and Western culture, and so, being a youkai, Meiling may be highly valued there as a magical creature of Eastern origin. Perhaps Meiling thought something similar about Koakuma when she saw her.

Magic Intense Rainbow Fist

The Focus Shot of Hong Meiling, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She strikes with a magic-infused intense rainbow fist. The Western concept of chemical elements is very similar to the Eastern philosophy of yin, yang, and the Five Phases. However, the number of proposed fundamental components of the universe differs.

Patchouli Knowledge barely attempts to train her body or move at all, for that matter. Instead, she spends her time researching strong magic. Meiling and Patchouli have totally opposite values, but the way they pursue their goals is somewhat similar.

Vibrant Hue: Scarlet Tai Chi Chuan

A Spell Card of Hong Meiling, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She recalls reading manga with Remilia. Certain tengu draw their own manga, and some of it's been known to circulate around Gensokyo. It seems adventure series typically aimed at young boys are more popular than satirical manga, which is most commonly found in newspapers. There's actually a possibility some volumes from the outside world have made the rounds in Gensokyo.

For Meiling and Remilia, manga is a common interest. The two have strengthened their friendship in a way you might expect to find in a romance or coming-of-age manga―i.e., by lending each other different volumes and sharing their thoughts on what they've read. With both of them being so passionate, it wouldn't be strange for there to be a small manga section in the mansion's library. It's likely that even Patchouli reads manga despite making fun of Meiling and Remilia for doing so.

Rainbow Color: Seven-Colored Lotus Flower Palm

A Spell Card of Hong Meiling, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She recalls a time when she used to play with Flandre in secret. There are many theories about how each Scarlet Devil Mansion member began living there. That said, it's likely Meiling was living there before Sakuya arrived. Some people even speculate Meiling was once in charge of caring for the Scarlet sisters.

It's not hard to imagine Meiling and Flandre giggling and having a great time while playing together. However, during a certain ordeal involving a vengeful spirit, Flandre squeezed Meiling so hard that everything inside her was about to burst out.

Scarlet Qi - Deflation World True Dragon Kick

The Last Word of Hong Meiling, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). The world compresses in an attack based on the head maid's time-manipulating ability.

''Let's talk this through, Meiling. In order to travel between worlds, you need to manipulate time and space. But all you can do is manipulate qi, so how could you possibly travel between worlds? The answer lies in the person who brings me and you together―Lady Remilia. Lady Remilia's ability to manipulate fate, to be exact.

Altering the movement of stars using the torrent of qi flowing through them is equivalent to interfering with the fate they display. That allows you to indirectly control the forking of possibilities. That's right, Meiling. It's exactly the same as how we first met as a result of the fate Lady Remilia laid out for us.''

Character Ability

Capable of using qi (Lost)

Expand

The ability of Hong Meiling, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). Meiling completely lost this ability due to a Lost Word. She is currently regaining it little by little, though not through restoring or replicating her old ability, but with a newly constructed original ability that formed a core to build upon. She has continued to travel across worlds to try and end the Lost Word Incident. This Meiling once lost everything to a Lost Word, which makes her one of the Restored.

What is energy? The true form of what has long been referred to as qi is now understood by those in the outside world to be energy. But that begs the question, what's energy? Is it the capacity to move objects? Or does it refer to the heat that rises up from within the Earth? ...In truth, it's neither. Energy is the fundamental building block of the universe.

It's unclear to what extent Meiling understands that concept. From an academic perspective, it's safe to say she barely understands it at all. However, her ability to manipulate qi, which she has cultivated over many years, gives her an intuitive sense of what energy is and how one can use it.

Given that energy is the fundamental building block of the universe, manipulating it means directly influencing all those in existence. That's a bold claim, but as of right now, there's no evidence to suggest it isn't accurate. But what does it truly mean? The path toward qi manipulation mastery is essentially never-ending, requiring you to become capable of manipulating everything in the universe at will. As such, the path allows for many different belief systems and approaches. While Meiling differs from hermits and Taoists, you could say they are all on that same path―one that none of them will ever reach the end of.

Therefore, what follows is an entirely baseless theory.

Whether they have a physical body or not, a single youkai's existence is spatially limited. However, Meiling has the ability to manipulate qi. If she was able to connect herself to a being free of spatial restraints, she could perhaps use qigong to directly influence the universe, albeit for a limited time and in a limited capacity. Simply linking with a god or a spirit isn't enough. Meiling would need to link with one of those beings sealed in the legendary Fengshen Bang. It would be even better if that being was an astral god who also held power over the Earth, but there aren't so many of those.

Seishin
The world of stars and the spiritual world are connected, or made one, via the concept of the astral world. Seishin is a magic item that exists as a part of that concept. It takes the form of a dragon flying between Heaven and Earth, but the one who creates it is Meiling and the qi she gathers. Modern humans surely don't feel as though their spirits are linked to the stars far up in the heavens. Perhaps they'd understand that truth better by realizing that, from the instant of the Big Bang, everything in the universe has been determined by the flow of energy. Considering the Tai Sui stars would also help them realize the heavens and the underworld are two sides of the same coin (recall the Geocentric model), and that stars traverse the heavens, pass between all living beings on Earth, and sink below the ground. The motion of the stars is a prime example of something that makes the flow of qi visible.

...But let's forget the difficult stuff for a moment. Seishin connects the universe within Meiling to the universe outside of her. It also creates a boundary between the two―a gate, if you will―and Meiling serves as its gatekeeper.

For every layer of Barrier Status: Burn or Freeze, Yang ATK, Yin ATK, CRIT ATK, and CRIT Accuracy 1 level UP.

Character Analysis

Hong Meiling (Be the change) was released on March 25th 2024 on Relic Prayer “Hidden Star, Waking Dragon”. For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.

The Gatekeeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion has experienced her fair share of loss due to this incident, such as a certain Perfect and Elegant Maid. However, she is wide awake with her eyes peeled now (quite the change to before) and has now channeled her inner dragon using her qi and mastery of martial arts. Can this iteration of Hong Meiling change the course of her fate that the Lost Word Incident is trying to force onto her by channeling all that dragon energy coursing through her veins, or will she sleep trying? One can dream big!

L80 Hong Meiling is a Technical-Class Friend looking to change things up with her team support (including Yang ATK II and Resisted Damage boost), Burn Anomaly breaking and somewhat of a mixed approach to her kit.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on March 24, 2024)

Spell Card

Myouren Temple Anniversary

Ability Cards?

NAЯAKA

L80 Meiling has a fair balance of buffs for both herself and the team, but more of those effects through Story Cards never hurt. Whether it’s team Accuracy boosting cards like Ability Cards?, Spirit Power buffs like The Witch of Scarlet Dreams (self) or Myouren Temple Anniversary / Divine Spirit Tajikarao (team), Yang ATK buffs for the team like Nameless Adventurers or Satellite TORIFUNE, CRIT ATK buffs like Worlds in Hand / Divine Spirit Tajikarao and Yang DEF buffs for herself/the team with cards like Figure of Hourai (self) or Housekeeper Training?! (team)!

As for Story Cards for her Spell Cards, the first one will benefit from cards like The Heat of my Fingertips, I’m Alright! and Be the change (All Sharp) and Silver Gale (Fire). As for her Spell Card 2, you can look to Story Cards like NAЯAKA (Fire/Energy) and Choose an Animal Spirit (Energy/Body).

For more similar Story Card options to the above, you can go over to the Story Card Info Page.

Last Word

Incident Shrine

Beach Sanshoku Geidontei

I'm Alright!

Secret Sealing Club Girls

Night-Splitting Light

Hand in Hand With a Miracle

Stand-In Shrine Maiden

Choose an Animal Spirit

In quite the change of pace, L80 Meiling’s best Story Card is in fact not the Be the change Story Card! While it gives all her bullets a 50% increase whether they are Star or Sharp, her first two Last Word Lines are actually Body, and because they are also Star, these two lines would end up being great for Incident Shrine, being the best bet when an enemy is fully broken.

As an alternative, Beach Sanshoku Geidontei’s Yang DEF debuff alongside its 50% Body boost will be very helpful, especially when up against enemies that aren’t fully broken, and an alternative to the aforementioned L80 Meiling Story Card would be I’m Alright!, also having a 50% boost in both Star and Sharp bullets.

As for any final options that boost the most significant first 2 bullet lines, other usable Story Cards that boost Star or Body by 50% are: Secret Sealing Club Girls, Night-Splitting Light, Hand in Hand With a Miracle, Stand-In Shrine Maiden and Choose an Animal Spirit.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

The more Spirit Power, the merrier. That’s why Skill number one, which is Unidentified Youkai, can go first (which also adds more team Yang ATK and Solo Yang DEF). Next up will be the one in the middle, Qi Manipulator. This one increases the CRIT ATK for the team alongside additional layers of Burn for herself as well as for her enemies. And last up, but certainly not least is the last Skill, which is Mansion Guard. While the Yang ATK II buff stays the same, the damage increase in resisted elements as well as Agility buffs do go up.

Character Strengths

Contagious Dragon Energy of Resistance

It’s handy for L80 Meiling to have not one, but two kinds of special ways to support the team from Skill 3, inflicting a long-lasting Yang ATK II buff for the team (which lasts 4 turns) and a 30% damage increase in resisted damage, helping allies when going all out in their attacks and happen to have resisted bullets, and the Yang ATK II buff can be very flexible too with its longer turn duration, given various situations that may arise.

Gates of Support Opening Up

L80 Meiling is also able to grant all kinds of useful traditional support, including Yang ATK, CRIT ATK, Agility, Spirit Power, Accuracy, CRIT Accuracy and Barriers. On top of the above support, this handful of buffs can make this Gatekeeper rather compatible with all kinds of Friends, especially the Yang-Based ones.

Be the Anomaly

Being able to break 5 Burn anomalies on all her enemies off the jump is a solid feat. L80 Meiling achieves this via a mix of Skill 3 and either her Spell Card 2 or Last Word. She can also benefit from anomaly buffs via Burn or Freeze anomalies in the form of offensive buffs for herself, and should anyone inflict Paralyze anomalies onto her, she will gain more Spirit Power.

Character Weaknesses

Rainbow Sign of Many Elements

Despite having a Story Card that boosts Star elemental bullets by 50%, only 4 Star bullet lines appear in L80 Meiling’s entire kit (two in her Spell Card 2, two in her Last Word). Meanwhile, she does have a solid amount of Fire in both her Spell Cards (4 in both), but there are all kinds of elements scattered around her kit resulting in quite the inconsistency. Having to juggle Metal, Water, Wood, Moon and Earth in her kit as well as the rest is quite the ordeal, making elemental breaking more difficult.

Gated by Weak Killing Power

From a very average range of Killers to work with, and with the Parallel Presence/Mastermind (LW) Killers being less frequent here, L80 Meiling will really struggle when it comes to landing those guaranteed CRITs. Among the best ones to work with here are Soul and God, but even with any Killers landing, L80 Meiling doesn’t have the best damage output compared to her competition, and a big part of this at the moment comes down to her Story Card (boosts Star and Sharp) not quite giving that full boost to her Last Word due to its very awkward bullet lines in Body and Sharp. But will therebe a change one day in the form of a Story Card that boosts Star, Body and Sharp at the same time?
