Shuuchuu Gou'u

Expand

Shuuchuu Gou'u (a Touhou LW original) refers to a sudden heavy rain that occurs in a small area in a short time. This is an apt temperament for Kisume since she excels at assaulting from overhead. Kisume is endowed with Fire Phase, for using onibi, and Moon Essence, because of her dual personality.

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

Water Bucket Drop

Kisume's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She drops water from a bucket over the opponent's head in this attack. Tsurube refers to a mechanism using a bucket or similar device to draw groundwater from a well. According to one theory, tsurube-otoshi are said to appear on rainy days, and as their name suggests, they are youkai with a strong connection to water.

Pot Drop

Kisume's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She gets into a metal pot and falls down onto her opponent's head. There are many variations of tsurube-otoshi youkai. Some drop wooden buckets down from trees. Whereas others drop severed heads or balls of fire... It is said that there are even tsurube-otoshi who bring down iron or clay pots. That sounds a lot more painful than a wooden bucket...!

Horror: Tsurube-Otoshi Apparition

Kisume's Spell Card. The signature attack of tsurube-otoshi youkai. There is a theory that tsurube-otoshi are tree spirits. Tsurube-otoshi cause mysterious fire to fall from trees on rainy days, and since, according to the Five Phases, water nourishes wood and wood feeds fire, their true identity could be spirits of large trees old enough to be filled with wood qi.

Well Bucket: Like a Moth to a Well

Kisume's Spell Card. She shoots bullets everywhere while violently floating up and down. Since long ago, the history of human civilization has been intrinsically linked to how humans deal with water. Water has been both a source of life and a threat to life through floods and drowning. The well is a natural water supply and an effective means of obtaining water safely, but it is also a danger that lurks in everyday life. There are many tales of strange incidents associated with wells, and they are, in fact, potential places for accidents. Don't carelessly look into a well. It's dangerous...!

Onibi Carpet Bombing

Kisume's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She scatters onibi down onto her opponents from above their heads. Tsurubebi youkai share the same origin as tsurube-otoshi, and they are sometimes mistaken for each other or conflated into a single entity. Kisume probably scatters fire in such a flashy manner because her purpose is to make people fear her as a youkai. Although Kisume seems to have a quiet and gentle personality, tsurube-otoshi are human-eating youkai... so there may be aspects of her personality that no one knows about.

Character Ability

Capable of dropping onibi

Expand

Kisume's ability as a tsurube-otoshi. Dropping balls of fire suddenly from the sky is the ability of tsurube-otoshi.

Various types of phenomena are called onibi, and there are many different theories about their true natures. First of all, onibi are not exclusive to tsurube-otoshi. There are various types of onibi, ranging from those that are like balls of youkai power to those that appear to be the spirits of deceased humans. However, they all have one thing in common: they are all balls of unidentified and mysterious fire.

If Kisume is also a youkai sealed in the Underworld, it is possible that she, like Yuugi and others, is engaged in some kind of work to calm vengeful spirits. If so, it is probably safe to assume that the onibi Kisume uses are closely related to vengeful spirits.

Kisume, is the first deterrent for anyone who comes down from the surface and the last obstacle for anyone who tries to escape the Underworld. She could not be more suitable for these roles since she is a youkai who can move freely up and down while dropping onibi.

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

When using Graze, party's CRIT Accuracy 1 level UP (1 turn).

Character Analysis

Kisume was released on September 2, 2022 on "Prayer: Bird, Beast, and Bucket?!". For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.

For farming, Kisume is fairly average. While she can do a good deal of damage with her Last Word, Onibi Carpet Bombing, she struggles to farm the current story card stages due to a combination of factors that hold her back. Despite this, she can still do well enough to farm The Secret God of the Sky (3-6-3).

In challenging content, Kisume’s kit proves to be decent at providing CRIT support as well as putting out solid damage as a Yin nuker herself as long as she can make use of her CRITs. Her 3rd skill, Skeleton Throw, proves its worth by not only selfishly providing her with1 P, but also supporting the teamwith 2 levels of CRIT Accuracy to the party for 2 turns. Combined with her ability, Capable of dropping onibi, boosts can augment her own performance further while grazes can help make CRIT oriented teammates perform even better. Her other two skills, on the other hand, prove to be more selfish. Her 1st skill, Timidity, boosts Kisume's CRIT ATK and CRIT Accuracy by 2 levels for 2 turns. Her 2nd skill, Narrow Space Peace, also selfishly provides her with 3 levels of Yin ATK for 2 turns as well as Charge. With all of these skills, Kisume can output a decent amount of damage, especially if the enemy is weak to Fire.

Her 1st spell card, Horror: Tsurube-Otoshi Apparition, has the pre-effect of inflicting 3 levels of CRIT Evasion down to a target for 2 turns. With her 2nd spell card, Well Bucket: Like a Moth to a Well, Kisume provides some party utility as she raises the CRIT ATK of all allies by 2 levels for 2 turns. This spell card can also prove to do some decent damage due to it having a few lines of Youkai killers, which can boost her damage even further. Finally, her Last Word inflicts 2 levels of CRIT DEF down to all enemies as well as providing herself 2 levels of Yin ATK up for 2 turns. Overall, these skills and spell cards synergize to set up her damage whilst providing the party with some CRIT support.

For barrier breaks, Kisume has a strong emphasis on Fire with some nice access to Water. While her basic shots contain a P0 Water and Metal shot for spread and focus respectively, all her spell cards contain Fire in some shape or form. Her 1st spell card contains 2 Water, Fire, and Wood breaks which targets a single enemy. Her 2nd spell card, on the other hand, contains 2 Fire and Water breaks to all enemies. Finally, her Last Word can provide a whopping 6 Fire breaks to all enemies.

Ultimately, while she may prefer to hide in buckets due to her shyness, Kisume can help the team out in her own meaningful way. Whether it comes to CRIT support, or outputting a decent amount of damage with her CRITs, Kisume can find ways to help.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on April 30, 2023)

Spell Card

The Witch of Scarlet Dreams

Valued Tools of the Trade

Miracle Mallet

As always with a vast majority of characters, P up is very useful and as such, cards like The Witch of Scarlet Dreams, Midnight Tea, and the like prove to be useful. At the same time, Kisume may want to have some Accuracy support due to her having no internal source of Accuracy herself. As such, cards like Valued Tools of the Trade, Dark Mastermind? and Poltergeist Sisters’ Concert can prove to be useful. At the same time, setting up CRIT ATK can prove to be useful for her, so cards like Miracle Mallet can help her even more. Finally, to optimize her Last Word, use cards that provide Yin ATK.

Last Word

Valued Tools of the Trade

Worlds in Hand

Unknown Barrier Team

In terms of Turn 1 damage, Accuracy up cards like Valued Tools of the Trade are very useful due to her lack of accuracy. However, with setup, Worlds in Hand provides the best possible setup damage for her. A few alternatives for setup, on the other hand, would be Unknown Barrier Team and Bonds of Blood.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Kisume should have her 3rd skill, Skeleton Throw, as it provides her with an extra boost to use for breaks, damage, and can give party utility to boot. Afterwards, her 2nd skill, Narrow Space Peace, should be leveled as it provides even more Yin ATK for her damage. Finally, her 1st skill, Timidity, should be leveled for better CRIT damage.

Character Strengths

+ Decent CRIT support
+ Good access to Fire elements

Character Weaknesses

- Lacks Accuracy
