Yamanari

Expand

Yamanari (a Touhou LW original) refers to the phenomenon where a sound from the mountains heralds the coming of an earthquake or volcanic eruption. This is an apt temperament for Kyouko, who is a youkai that lives on a mountain and reflects sound. Kyouko is endowed with Wood Phase, because her existence is based upon her loud voice, and Moon Essence, as she is a youkai priest.

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 it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.

Echoing Recitation

Kyouko Kasodani's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She chants a sutra with all her might. She shouts with her death-metal voice that she uses while performing in her band. Even if you don't understand the meaning of the sutra, reciting it out loud is still worthwhile. Now, repeat after Kyouko... ''Gyate.''

Mountain Echo Chanting

Kyouko Kasodani's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She attacks by echoing her voice off a rock. There is a legend that echoes come from a small rock mountain called a ''yamabiko rock'' that returns words spoken by humans. There are also other legends that say echoes come from a youkai bird called a ''yobuko'' or a dog-like youkai beast called a ''yamako.'' Incidentally, Kyouko has ears and a tail reminiscent of a dog.

Echo Sign: Mountain Echo

Kyouko Kasodani's Spell Card. She shoots bullets that rebound like echoes. In the past, people used to think that echoes were caused by someone imitating voices because they are heard after a delay. Nowadays, it is general knowledge that an echo is a reflection of sound. The speed of sound varies according to the air temperature and other factors, but it is generally around 340 m/s. The greater the distance between the sound source and the surface that the sound reflects off, the longer the echo takes to hear. This time lag is almost imperceptible during daily life, but you can clearly hear it in open spaces, like on top of a mountain.

Great Voice: Charged Cry

Kyouko Kasodani's Spell Card. She attacks by compressing bullets of sound into a confined area. The trajectories of the bullets trapped in the area are difficult to predict because the area gradually gets smaller and smaller. This is somewhat similar to phonon maser technology that oscillates coherent wavelengths, amplitudes, and directions of ultrasonic waves. This may be a truly terrifying sonic attack.

Sutra-Chanting Room - Complete Manual

Kyouko Kasodani's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She reads sutras in an isolated room. What would happen if someone overheard Kyouko read out sutras in a closed room? That person outside the room would have no way of knowing whether the one reading the sutras was a novice priest or the head priest. That means that in this instance, at least, it doesn't matter whether Kyouko understands the meaning of the sutras... Now then, how could you tell whether the one chanting is the head priest or Kyouko imitating her without entering the sutra-chanting room?

Character Ability

Capable of reflecting sound

Expand

Kyouko Kasodani's ability as a yamabiko. It is the youkai yamabiko's nature to shout back any words they hear.

Kyouko is a novice priest who joined Myouren Temple, but she apparently lives on the Youkai Mountain and commutes to the temple every day. She sweeps the grounds and does menial labor at the temple as part of her training. There is a Japanese idiom that ''children near a temple will recite sutras untaught.'' Kyouko is a perfect example of this as she can perfectly remember the contents of sutras recited by the monks, namely Byakuren, perhaps due to her ability as a yamabiko. You may think that there are no benefits to merely learning sutras by rote, but attaining salvation through repeating the name of Amitabha is a concept of Buddhism.

The yamabiko's status as a youkai was apparently in danger because it is also general knowledge among the humans who dwell in Gensokyo that echoes are merely the reverberation of sound. However, people have begun to fear yamabiko as a youkai because of the creepy sounds they hear coming from the mountain ever since Kyouko started to shout while reciting sutras after she returns home. You could probably get a good idea about the nature and volume of Kyouko's voice if you read the reviews about Kyouko's and Mystia's rock band, Choujuu Gigaku.

Character Analysis

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

Kyouko Kasodani is a Yamabiko Youkai, embodying the echoes humans hear when sound travels through mountains and valleys. Her ability to reflect sound waves makes her a staple in the Myouren Temple with her loud and cheery voice that is sure to be heard by worshippers anywhere in the vicinity. In her spare time, she can be found dabbling in punk rock together with Mystia Lorelei as Choujuu Gigaku; a delightful group that stands toe-to-toe with the Prismriver Ensemble in their musical ability. Her diligence to her Buddhist training comes through in her sweeping duties, and she can be commonly found on the grounds working her broom and taking care of any errant trespassers looking to cause trouble.

Kyouko’s ability to debuff enemy Evasion and CRIT Evasion through both her Skills and her Spell Cards makes her a great staple to any team looking to focus on building up personal damage. Her first Spell Card, Echo Sign: Mountain Echo can debuff Crit DEF by 1 level for a single enemy, while her second Spell Card, Great Voice: Charged Cry debuffs Crit EVASION for the entire enemy lineup by 1 level. This is further boosted by her Last Word, Sutra-Chanting Room - Complete Manual which reduces all enemy Yang DEF and Crit EVASION by 2 levels.

Farming wise, Kyouko will clean house with absolute efficiency, with her easy access to 2P on Turn 1 with her first skill, Cheerful Greeting, allowing her access to most of her Moon and Wood breaks on her Last Word which hits all enemies. This is bolstered by her second skill, Cooking & Challenges which reduces all enemy Evasion down by 3 levels while boosting her own Yang ATK by 2 levels. Her 3rd skill, Sweeping & Cleaning further cements this with 2 levels of Yang DEF down for a target enemy and Crit EVASION down for the entire enemy team, allowing her to hit those hard numbers consistently. Further supplementing her damage are her Killers which hit any foes from Youkai Mountain, the Garden of the Sun and the Divine Spirit Mausoleum, providing the full Crit experience to any Friends that hail from these factions.

Her ability to break barriers is on par with recent releases, with a smattering of Moon and Wood breaks on every shot she has. She can max out most of her elemental reach, with 2/6 Wood on and 3/6 Moon easily accessible on her first Spell Card and Last Word at 2P due to her P buffs. Her second Spell Card, while boasting fewer breaks, also hits all enemies with 2/6 Wood and 2/6 at 3P. She also has some minor Stun utility on her Spread Shot and Spell Card 2, although you probably don’t want to count on it in a pinch, being locked behind 2P and 3P respectively. Finally, her Last Word can break Burn anomalies; fitting for someone whose daily job involves dealing with garbage.

Story Card Recommendations

Spell Card

The Witch of Scarlet Dreams

Miracle Mallet

Although self-sufficient, The Witch of Scarlet Dreams will help ensure that Kyouko can always hit the elemental breaks she wants with her attacks. Her dedication to setting enemy teams up for Crits also means that the Miracle Mallet card works well in her hands, providing her that additional reach she needs to finish off errant enemies.

Last Word

How Irrational...

Standing Behind You

19th Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai

With her kit being heavily focused towards boosting her Crit or debuffing the enemy’s Crit EVASION, Story Cards that contribute to her Yang ATK and element boosting make for great choices. How Irrational… and Standing Behind You buff her Yang ATK by up to 3 levels and Crit ATK by up to 2 levels respectively, while also adding a 25% increase to Wood or a 30% increase to Moon, both of which feature heavily in her kit. As an alternative, 19th Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai provides her with a 25% boost to Ofuda damage, which is what her entire Last Word is made out of, while also boosting her Crit ATK by 1 level.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Prioritize Kyouko’s first skill, Cheerful Greeting in order to get her to 2P on turn 1 immediately, while also reducing the cooldown until you can next fire it off. After that, go with her second skill, Cooking & Challenges for the all important Evasion down on all enemies as well as a token Yang ATK up on herself. Her final skill, Sweeping & Cleaning provides a double whammy that debuffs both Enemy Yang DEF and CRIT Evasion. Perfect to assist your Friends looking to lay on some serious damage to their opponents.

Character Strengths

+ Easy T1 damage makes her a decent farmer
+ P skills make hitting her Moon and Wood breaks simple
+ CRIT and Accuracy support helps for setting up big damage
