Ana Zensen

Expand

Ana Zensen (a Touhou LW original) refers to a weather front formed when bodies of warm and cold air collide where either one or both ascend. This is the temperament of Merlin, one of the three poltergeist sisters, who use music made by combining electrical signals and spirit energy to hack into the spirit world. Her temperament was reformed by exchanging magical principles for the laws of physics.

This temperament is specialized to resist Moon Essence and Star Essence.

Character Shots

Haas Effect

The Spread Shot of Merlin Prismriver, the electronic musician (a Touhou LW original). She fires electronic sounds at her enemies. When a very short delay separates two sounds, the preceding sound absorbs the latter. It's kind of like the doppelganger effect but for sound. This phenomenon can apparently be used to create ambient soundscapes with monophonic tracks. There's always more to learn about spirits and souls.

Radio Contact

The Focus Shot of Merlin Prismriver, the electronic musician (a Touhou LW original). She fires spirit energy noise. Apparently, audio recording devices can sometimes record the voices of the dead. However, this isn't necessarily something to fear, as it could be a message from a guardian spirit.

Noisy Funeral: Stygian Riverside - Manic

A Spell Card of Merlin Prismriver, the electronic musician (a Touhou LW original). She recreates a musical performance that took place near the Sanzu River. The Ruined Western Mansion near the Misty Lake is the Prismriver family home. Some records indicate that the three Prismriver sisters were accompanied by a person called Layla when their residence first appeared in Gensokyo. It's theorized that Layla conjured the three Prismriver poltergeist sisters into being with her magic and that she lived together with these poltergeist sisters until she passed away. This was before the poltergeists started performing, so perhaps their feelings of regret at not being able to perform with Layla created false memories in their minds.

Great Funeral Concert: Spirit Wheel Concerto Grosso - Manic

A Spell Card of Merlin Prismriver, the electronic musician (a Touhou LW original). She plays a song that utilizes a group of soloists accompanied by an orchestra. It's theorized that the three poltergeist Prismriver sisters are based on Layla's older sisters. The young Layla missed her sisters so much that she conjured the poltergeists. Anyone familiar with magic should be able to recognize the difficulty of performing such a complex spell. In fact, the magic was so powerful that the poltergeists managed to persist somehow after Layla passed from this world. There are rumors that the former head of the Prismriver family, Count Prismriver, possessed a magic item before he left his family in ruin... Layla might have used that to cast her spell.

Merlin Behind Closed Doors

The Last Word of Merlin Prismriver, the electronic musician (a Touhou LW original). She performs an audience-less live show and streams it on the All Spirit Network. There was once a band called Yougakudan known throughout Gensokyo. They were incredibly popular, so chances are the Prismriver Ensemble have heard of them. However, due to a lack of reliable sources, the sisters' opinions on Yougakudan's futuristic music are a mystery. Regardless, this world's Merlin remembers this music of the future... or rather, she has started to remember. Yougakudan wanted to send a message that could only be conveyed through music, and now, after all this time, it is being heard.

Character Ability

Capable of performing maniac notes (Concealed)

Expand

The ability of Merlin Prismriver, the electronic musician (a Touhou LW original). Merlin's original ability became this one when it was concealed by the system of the Capital. However, due to miscellaneous adjustments and the construction of alternate functions, Merlin's maniac note-performing capabilities are unchanged.

The living have always and will always desire to converse with the dead. Being eternally separated from a loved one causes untold mental and emotional turmoil, so wanting to speak with them again, even just once, is a natural reaction. This world is full of these regretful thoughts and feelings.

However, the dead aren't the only ones people wish to meet but can't. No matter the age or culture, people always tend to want to make contact with supernatural beings, such as spirits, gods, and even aliens. Even nowadays, people still try to seek an audience with them to obtain knowledge or solace. It is a part of our culture and civilization as humans. The shrine maiden profession emerged to satiate this desire, as did rudimentary government systems.

Lost family members are a typical example of someone who you might want to meet again. Perhaps that girl wasn't able to send a letter, and there were no mobile phones back then, so she resorted to trying to send her thoughts telepathically and shouting her prayers... but she didn't receive any answer. This is probably how the poltergeists manifested.

Merlin and her sisters were dead certain that their help was needed to make the plan to liberate Xanadu a success. The operation was set to take place in a virtual and spiritual world separated from reality by a thin translucent wall, so their poltergeist ability to disrupt media and their mind-influencing spirit world music would surely come in use... That world is similar to the world of social media platforms that were so prevalent long ago in the outside world, but this Merlin doesn't know anything about that.

Immune to Barrier Status: Burn. When attacked with Burn, own Spirit Power 0.20 UP.
For every layer of Barrier Status: Paralyze, Agility, Accuracy, and Evasion 1 level UP.

Character Analysis

Merlin Prismriver (Second Eldest Memory Leaker) was released on July 7th on "Ultra Festival Prayer: Hype Hacker Harmonies." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.

The Prismriver Sisters are a trio of poltergeists most known for their beautiful music, with a violinist, trumpeter and keyboardist. However, in a realm dominated by the Capital, they all make use of electronics and modern technology in one way or another, including downloading files, hacking into the memories of others and finding new ways to express their musicality as a trio with perfect chemistry. In Merlin Prismriver’s case, she likes her electronic instruments as they bring the happiness needed to get through life, and also uses the wonderful world of her version of the internet to spread that joy even further. She even has those awesome cat headphones that some influencers like to wear online!

B5 Merlin Prismriver is a Speed-Class Friend who uses Metal and Water breaks, Burn and Paralyze anomaly utility to power herself up, and some team support via Agility, Accuracy and even Spirit Power.

As an Attacker / Supporter / Debuffer

Increases her own Spirit Power by using Skill 3, and can do so for the team too, via Skill 2 and both Spell Card Post-ATKs
Increases her own Yang ATK by using Skill 2 and Last Word.
Debuffs Yang DEF of enemies via Skill 3 and bullet lines on Focus Shot, Spell Card 2 and Last Word.
Slight CRIT ATK buff on Last Word Pre-ATK.
Increases the team’s Accuracy by 2 means: Whenever she Boosts and via Skill 1. The latter also has a 2 turn cooldown rate, meaning it can always be stocked up.
Lots of Agility buffs for herself and the team, with it being easy to max out via Skill 1’s cooldown rate being shorter than its duration. Also goes hand in hand with her Slice Scaling, increasing her damage.
Killer range includes Human, Soul, Lunar Capital, Thunder, Musician and Engineer.

As a Utility

Takes advantage of both Paralyze and Burn inflictions on herself via her Ability; the former increases Agility, Accuracy and Evasion while the latter increases her Spirit Power. Her kit is able to provide this for herself, mainly via Spell Cards.
Can inflict and break Paralyze anomalies on enemies: Inflictions done via Skill 3 (2-3 layers on all enemies), Spell Card 1 (4 layers on an enemy) and Spell Card 2 (2 layers on all enemies). Breaks are achieved by Solo Focus Shot (1P), Solo Spell Card 1 (2P) and Last Word (3P).

Takes 35% Less damage from Soul enemies via her Passive 1.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on July 06, 2023)

Spell Card

The Witch of Scarlet Dreams

Myouren Temple Anniversary

Worlds in Hand

B5 Merlin’s main things to account for will be Spirit Power, Yang ATK and CRIT ATK. You could spread them across the team if you want depending on the card, but you could also consider Accuracy too, such as with Ability Cards? if for some reason the Agility buffs aren’t enough, although it would really be used for the extended Accuracy buffs. If you’re all set to go, you can also bring some Energy bullet boosting cards if you can use her Spell Cards for damage.

Spirit Power UP: The Witch of Scarlet Dreams, Our Dream, Dancer in the Puddle, Mountain of Faith, Youkai Mountain Anniversary, Taking a Breather in Spring, Post-Training Kinako Milk

Team Spirit Power UP: Myouren Temple Anniversary, Divine Spirit Tajikarao, Dancers Take the Stage, Utopia Tea Time

CRIT ATK UP: Worlds in Hand, Divine Spirit Tajikarao, New Year’s Shrine Visit VI, Miracle Mallet, Bloody Order, Ordinary Magician

Yang ATK UP: Ordinary Magician, Members of the Yakumo Family, How Irrational…, Kasen, Senkai, Nameless Adventurers, By The Underground Lake

Accuracy UP: Ability Cards?, Taking a Breather in Spring, Valued Tools of the Trade, The Lunar War, Poltergeist Sisters’ Concert, 8th Hakurei Shrine Fall Reitaisai, Shichi-Go-San School Visit?!, Secret Hobby

Energy Bullet Power UP: Worlds in Hand, Lunatic Red Eyes, Choose an Animal Spirit, NAЯAKA, Unknown Barrier Team, Mansion of Memories

Last Word

Choose an Animal Spirit

Like her older sister, B5 Merlin uses an Energy Last Word, and you know what that means: Choose an Animal Spirit, Lunatic Red Eyes, Unknown Barrier Team and NAЯAKA all with their 50% Energy boosting effects are the best cards for B5 Merlin. While this is a weaker option, it does get an honorable mention for its 50% Metal effect, being Disillusion, but ideally you’d be using the ones above.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

To start things off, let’s go with Acid Jazz. This Skill will benefit from more Spirit Power and Yang DEF DOWN on enemies. Next up will be High Energy, benefiting from a reduced cooldown (4 to 2 turns), thus making her ability to extend her Agility to the max even easier, while also further increasing her team’s Accuracy. Lastly will be Euphoric Trance, taking the cooldown from 6 to 4 turns and also increasing her own Yang ATK as well as the team’s Spirit Power slightly and more Agility.

Character Strengths

Eurobeat-esque Team Buffs

B5 Merlin is going so many miles an hour that it’s like she is listening to Eurobeat while providing all her Agility buffs! Skills 1 and 2 add 6 stages, Grazing takes it further and both Spell Card 2 and Last Word can help max it out! On top of that, Skill 2 has a 2 turn cooldown rate, which is less turns than its Agility buff duration. Aside from that though, Skills 2 and 3 last for 4 and 3 turns respectively, she can also do a solid job supporting with Accuracy, and there are even bits of Spirit Power buffs snuck in too.

High Voltage Streamer

To accompany her common Metal and Water breaks (the former being more common), B5 Merlin has some ways of breaking those barriers by both inflicting and breaking Paralyze anomalies. While her only way of breaking them on all allies is done via Last Word, her other methods can be good when focusing on a specific enemy, especially as her Spell Card 1 can inflict 4 layers of it, then break it after 2 boosts. Aside from just breaking, B5 Merlin also boosts her own Agility, Accuracy and Evasion when inflicted with Paralyze anomalies of her own. She can also increase her own Spirit Power via Burn anomalies too.

Character Weaknesses

Killer Range is a Little Lacking

While you may be able to find enemies susceptible to B5 Merlin’s Killers, such as Human, Soul, Machine, Musician, Thunder and more, these don’t cover a whole bunch of the cast sadly. If you want to capitalize on them though, try and see if your enemies are have any of the corresponding tags before bringing her for pure damage.

Needs Donations via Yang ATK and CRIT ATK

While her limited Yang ATK buffs are mitigated by the Yang DEF debuff she can bring to the table, it still might need more of it to thrive. CRIT ATK however, is something that B5 Merlin very much lacks in, aside from her Last Word of course.
