Jiu (a Touhou LW original) refers to welcome or blessed rain that cultivates all of creation. Marisa seems to really enjoy this world of eternal summer, but perhaps this temperament hints at her hidden true nature.
The laws of Phases and Essences are forgotten, leaving only an obsessive desire to adapt to this Gensokyo of eternal summer!
Marisa doesn't mind the sunshine at all. (Strong against Sun Essence.) She thinks star sand looks cute. (Strong against Star Essence.) And she sometimes thinks up plans to counter Reimu. (Strong against Wood Phase.) But she doesn't want her pretty swimsuit to get covered in sand. (Weak to Earth Phase.)
Marisa decided that she wanted to keep her swimsuit clean after she saw Reimu get sand all over her's.
The Spread Shot of Marisa Kirisame from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with star-shaped sand. If this world's history was the same as our world's, this attack would probably be called ''Ground Stardust.'' This small jar filled with colorful star sand is one of Marisa's favorite items... even though she throws it at people. Apparently, Beach House Kourindou sells them as souvenirs. They are one of the few decent items that can be purchased there. Marisa did purchase them, didn't she...?

The Focus Shot of Marisa Kirisame from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She attacks by shooting water out of her mini hakkero. If this world's history was the same as our world's, this attack would probably be called ''Narrow Spark.'' The development of this attack was a complicated process, as Marisa first had to narrow the beam of her Master Spark (though it is still quite wide for a laser) and then replace the light with water. The kappa and karakasa-obake really liked it when she tried shooting out water on a whim, so she hasn't looked back since. Making people happy feels kind of nice.

A Spell Card of Marisa Kirisame from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). As the name implies, she shoots out a torrent of water, similar to how she shoots her Master Spark. In the Eight Trigrams, each trigram is composed of three lines. Each of these lines can either be broken, which denotes yin, or unbroken, which denotes yang. There are eight different combinations of these lines―Thus, Eight Trigrams.
The trigrams on Marisa's mini hakkero can be arranged into two distinct patterns―Later Heaven and Earlier Heaven. It isn't exactly known how she switches between these two patterns, but perhaps she can freely switch the individual trigram panels around. That is how the Marisa of this world does it. The Eight Trigrams describe the workings of the entire universe, so it shouldn't be that difficult to do something simple like shoot water out of a mini hakkero by changing the trigram panels around.

A Spell Card of Marisa Kirisame from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She expels water from her broom to fly into her target. The Spell Card is named ''Blazing Starish Tubing,'' but it seems that Marisa acts as the boat pulling the tube. White-water rafting was all the rage for a time in Gensokyo, so perhaps Marisa used her experience back then to develop this attack. She can also enjoy hovering above the water if she aims the broom straight up at the sky. Apparently, the vast majority of her tubing customers are fairies.

The Last Word of Marisa Kirisame from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She attacks by surfing. Marisa is totally hooked on this sport at the moment. Marisa is known for being crazy about firepower while hiding a surprising level of composure and keen intelligence, but in this Gensokyo of eternal summer, she is also crazy about surfing. It's all she thinks about. It's like she's head over heels in love with the ocean. This is because the waves wash everything away, along with all your troubles and doubts.

Character Ability
Capable of using magic (Beach)
Expand
The ability of Marisa Kirisame from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). This ability isn't all that different from the abilities of Marisas from other worlds. However, unlike our Marisa, who prefers hot and fiery magic even if she might be better at other forms of magic, this Marisa predominantly uses water magic. Although, she only decided to use water magic because using fire magic on the beach in the middle of summer would annoy everyone.
''All in all, it seems that the residents of the village have actually gotten used to our new environment'' Marisa is an avid collector of items and an ordinary human magician, as opposed to a magician by blood. And the Marisa of this world is no different. She may call herself a Beach Magician, but that's just a name she made up. She uses magic on the beach, so she's a Beach Magician. Regardless, it seems that this Marisa is concerned about how the people of the village are coping with the rising sea level. But she hasn't explained why.
The humans displayed remarkable fortitude. It wasn't quick, but they managed to move the village all on their own, and they even changed their daily routines to take greater advantage of the nearby ocean. They adapted their lifestyles, their very lives, to this new environment. The pub, the school, the wholesaler, the tea house... and even the second-hand shop moved location.
''I thought they'd be too stubborn to move'' ''Huh? Do you really think the people of the village are stubborn'' ''Hm? No, not all of them'' ''...Oh, right''
(So she already figured it out. This shrine maiden's instincts are way too sharp.)
''...OK, Reimu'' Marisa sat up and looked down at the girl lying on the sand beside her. ''Let's see who's the better surfer for our next match.''
Immune to Barrier Status: Burn, Freeze, and Paralyze. When attacked with Burn, Freeze, or Paralyze, recovers 5% of own HP.
When using Boost, party's Yang ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).
When using Graze, party's Yang ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).
It's a miniature version of the hakkero that appears in the Journey to the West. This one also has a broad range of applications, of course.

Marisa Kirisame (C3) was released on November 18, 2022 in "Epic Prayer: Magician on Vacation." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.
Riding on a big wave comes Gensokyo’s most radical Magician! Exchanging her broom for a board (or is the board a broom?), this variant of Marisa is down to party all day among the waters of this drowned Gensokyo. Unlike her other selves, this Friend is happy to don the mantle of a Support-class, providing the Shrine Maiden of Paradise and anyone else in her party with enough firepower to make a ruckus on her behalf.
As an Offensive Support
Empowers Yang attackers with buffs for Yang ATK, Crit ATK, Accuracy, Agility and Spirit P in her entire kit
Minor support for Yin attackers with buffs for Yin ATK through Skills and her Last Word
Debuffs enemy Yang DEF through Spell Cards
Can inflict Quick on herself to ensure buffs are applied before her team attacks.
As a Defensive Support and Tank
Yang DEF buffs for her team
Barrier recovery through Skill and Spell Card
Takes 30% less damage from elements Marisa is strong against
Immune to Burn, Paralyze and Freeze, healing 5% HP per stack instead
Recovers 25% of hp dealt by second Spell Card and Last Word
Increases her own Focus through her Spell Cards
As an Attacker
Incredibly high base Yang ATK, Yang DEF and Agility stats to throw into Hard and Slicing
Every bullet line features either Water or Star breaks, skewing slightly towards Water.
Has an additional 3 Earth breaks on her Spread Shot
0P Star and Water breaks on both Spread and Focus Shots
Additional self supply of Spirit P through second Skill
As a Utility
Low cooldown on first Skill, leading to an infinite supply of Yin ATK and Yang ATK, as well as constant Crit ATK buffs every second turn.
Inflicts Freeze via her Shots and Spell Cards
Can break Freeze and Paralyze barriers via Shots and Spell Cards
100% chance to Stun a single enemy on 3P with her Spread Shot
Story Card Recommendations
(Card recommendations last updated on November 17, 2022)
Drawing on the immense pool of Spirit P gain she can generate, Marisa can turn to more offensive options in her arsenal to balance out her lack of damage. Resort Stars and Frozen Over Gensokyo both work extremely well in this regard, with her first two Spell Cards being 100% Fluid-based. Go for the former for full tilt damage, or the latter if you still feel like you need some extra Spirit P for the road.
Marisa’s Last Word is a board to the face, trading away Fluid for Body damage. As such, go for Stand-In Shrine Maiden (50% damage boost and Crit ACC up) for a full offensive or Eating Contest (45% damage boost and recovers 40% HP) for a more balanced option.
Character Skill Level Up Recommendations
Go with her third skill, Waterproof Hakkero for a boost to her Accuracy and providing the team Spirit P and Agility to open up their options. Next comes her second skill, Magic Surfboard to allow her to hit 2 Spirit P on turn 1, greatly improving her output from the get go while also providing defensive options to her and her team via Barrier recovery while helping her set up Spell Card buffs with Quick. Start hitting those waves hard with her first skill, Shroom Sports Drink for an quick supply of Yang ATK, Yin ATK and Crit ATK for her party.
Character Strengths
Amazing Elemental Breaks
The Magician on Vacation packed a suitcase filled with Star and Water, with features on almost every single line of her attacks. The exception is her Spread Shot, which replaces Water with Earth Breaks instead.
Brings Vast Offensive Buffs for the Team as well as Waves of Spirit Power
Almost anything Marisa does will provide a buff to her team. Using Skills? Using Spell Cards? Even Boosting and Grazing will endow her team with some form of Yang ATK, Yin ATK, Crit ATK, Accuracy and/or Agility buff. This all comes with a bountiful source of Spirit , ensuring her team is ready for fun in the sun all day!
Tanking Potential with Team-wide Barriers and strong Personal HP Recovery
C3 Marisa’s seemingly unstoppable drive to enjoy her holiday comes in the form of incredible HP Recovery from most Anomalies, as well as her attacks. She can also put up multiple sources of Barriers for her entire team, prolonging any session in the water as long as she wants.
Stun + Anomaly Utility is very handy.
C3 Marisa can break Freeze and Paralyze anomalies with her attacks, as well as guarantee a Stun on a single enemy with a 3P Spread Shot.
Character Weaknesses
Personal Damage is Lacking
C3 Marisa unfortunately falls short on her offensive, lacking broad Killers that set her apart from the top of the chaff.
