Element Type Chart

Kirisame

Expand

Kirisame refers to fine, misty rain and is sometimes also called konuka ame. It may seem like an unusual temperament for Marisa, who always seems so fearless, but this is closer to her true personality. She is always hard at work when nobody is watching. Marisa is endowed with Water Phase, sensitive and persevering, and Star Spirit, fanciful and free.

The flexible and patient Water Phase resists Metal Phase, because metal collects water, but it is weak to Earth Phase, because earth directs water.

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

Love Sign: Master Spark

Marisa Kirisame's Spell Card. This is her signature bullet hell attack. She shoots huge lasers out of her beloved mini hakkero (a magical elemental furnace). The attack's power is overwhelming, but it may have been based on another girl's bullet attack.

Love Sign: Non-Directional Laser

Marisa Kirisame's Spell Card. Multiple non-directional lasers shoot out while spinning. The boldness of attacking in all directions is very like Marisa... but it's actually rumored to be based on another girl's bullet attack.

Character Ability

Capable of using magic

Expand

"It ain't magic if it ain't flashy!" That's Marisa's motto, but her abilities are actually fairly average for a magician. However, she is both a human and a magician, and you won't find many human magicians who can use magic as well as her. She seems to have put in a good amount of hard work to reach her level. Apparently, she collects magic materials for experiments and notes down other people's bullet hell attacks in magic books... Not that anybody's ever seen her doing any of that.

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

Character Analysis

Marisa Kirisame was released on May 11th, 2021 as part of the starting roster. This analysis has been updated as of July 5th, 2022 to consider her Fantasy Rebirth 2.0 upgrades.

A human magician with a flair for firepower, and quick to make friends with everyone she meets, Marisa Kirisame is one of Gensokyo’s premier incident resolvers. She’s all about big, flashy magic and can be considered Touhou Project’s deuteragonist alongside Reimu Hakurei. She shines in the early game, which wonderfully compliments her status as one of the game’s two free Friends. Due to her status as a selfish DPS with a lacking kit, Solo Last Word that hits averagely hard, and average ish damage overall, she is firmly a E-Tier Friend until obtaining her Fantasy Rebirth 2.0 upgrades, in which she reaches A Tier.

When it comes to farming, Marisa’s is limited typically to Solo friendly Event stages, ideally those weak to Star. Her powerful All Spell Cards do give her something of a niche in some 3-wave stages, so long as you either avoid Full Auto or, in the case of certain boss farms such as 3-3-3, pair her up with a partner.

For difficult content, Marisa’s main use is her 0 Power All-Target access to Star element on both Spell Cards. Unfortunately, she is only able to do 1 All-Target Star break per turn this way, even with additional Power. Her Last Word does have 2 Solo-Target Star breaks on it, but that requires 3 Power. Her kit is otherwise average in every department - average overall damage, a Solo LW that deals average damage, no team utility, and mixed Yin and Yang damage making her hard to scale all combine to leave you with a somewhat average Friend.

Overall, for any new player Marisa will be your best Friend for some time, helping to carry you through the early game. Once you get past that stage, she will be overall average - never the worst option to bring, but certainly far from the most powerful too.

If you do want to keep Marisa somewhat relevant, you will need to utilize her Fantasy Rebirth 2.0 upgrades, specifically her spell card upgrade for her Last Word, Blazing Star. With this, Marisa's power goes through the roof, quadrupling the raw power of every single bullet line of the attack. This makes Marisa's set-up damage both a lot more efficient and better, giving her better utility for when a good Solo-target nuke is needed. Nothing else notable comes from her Fantasy Rebirth 2.0 upgrade trees, although her other spells get a minor attack buff as well.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on October 31, 2022)

Spell Card

Midnight Tea

Valued Tools of the Trade

Overwhelming Firepower

Spirit Power can be used to increase the power of Marisa's attacks, and Midnight Tea is a good story card pick for both this and the offensive stat sticks it provides. Otherwise, you can provide buffs that Marisa is lacking in her kit: either Valued Tools of the Trade for Accuracy UP or Overwhelming Firepower for a good amount of Yin ATK UP.

Last Word

Valued Tools of the Trade

Eating Contest

Accuracy is somewhat of a concern for Marisa due to not having any accuracy support on her kit, so Valued Tools of the Trade should be used if you are not running any Friends or spell card slots for that purpose. If you're covered on that, you can instead use Eating Contest for its high buff to Body Bullets, something that Marisa's Last Word is full of.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Mini Hakkero is Marisa's best option first and foremost, as her more powerful Spell Card and Last Word both benefit from it. After that, the extra Spirit Power that Loaded Item provides is very useful. Lastly, Magic Broomstick should only be levelled up when you're about to go for her Fantasy Rebirth.

Character Strengths

+ First spell deals high All-damage for a Spell Card
+ Very powerful early-game

Character Weaknesses

- Mixed Yin and Yang damage makes her hard to scale
- Overall low access to elements
- Falls off hard mid to late-game
