Element Type Chart

Kawakaze

Expand

Kawakaze (a Touhou LW original) refers to wind caused by the difference in temperature between a river and its surroundings, as well as wind that takes the path of a river. Kappa are youkai of the river, so this is a fitting temperament for Nitori. Nitori is endowed with Water Phase, due to her tenacious yet flexible mindset as an engineer and saleswoman, and Moon Essence, from the sense of community she feels with her friends.

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

Character Shots

Tsuuhiken

Nitori Kawashiro's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). It refers to a type of fighting style that uses fists. Nitori uses an extendable mechanical arm to attack her target. There is a type of Chinese youkai called tsuuhai enkou which can extend one arm while shortening the other, and that characteristic lives in Japanese kappa. Nitori named her extendable mechanical arm after that Chinese youkai out of respect.

Aerial Torpedo

Nitori Kawashiro's Focus Shot. She sends out multiple aerial torpedoes to blast her target in this attack. Nitori is both an engineer and a kappa―an aquatic youkai―making this shot a good fit for her.

Ephemeral Foam: Burst! Bubble Dragon

Nitori Kawashiro's Spell Card. She shoots out bubble bullets and then makes them burst. They are so loud that you can practically see the ''POP!'' in this very effective sound attack. But what could ''bubble dragon'' possibly be referring to?

Battle Machine: Fly! Sanpei Fight

Nitori Kawashiro's Spell Card. This riveting barrage of bullets uses Nitori's Sanpei Fighter in midair combined with a drill attack. After combining, Sanpei functions as a heavily armed booster rocket, while the separated cockpit takes over as a light fighting plane... Or well, it would be nice if it worked that way, anyway.

Super Scope 3D

Nitori Kawashiro's Last Word. Nitori uses an optical cloak to hide her movement as she shoots cannons and grenades from a distance. This cannon is a replica of something from the outside. Apparently, it was not originally built to be a weapon. Maybe it was used for practice?

Character Ability

Capable of manipulating water

Expand

This might sound like a natural ability for any kappa to have, but it is not as simple as it seems. This innate ability allows Nitori to manipulate water without any tools at all. Some say that kappa are the remains of former water gods―it would be unwise to underestimate them. Nitori is not often seen making full use of her ability, but perhaps she is using it in her Spell Cards. Incidentally, the development of precision machinery is said to have developed in places where clean water flows, forging an unbreakable connection between the Iron Age and water. Water and engineering have always been inseparable.

When inflicted by Barrier Status: Paralyze or Blind, inflicts the same Barrier Status to target.

Character Analysis

Nitori Kawashiro was released on May 11th, 2021 as part of the starting roster. For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.

Nitori Kawashiro is a stage 3 boss that first appears in Touhou 10, Mountain of Faith. She's a seemingly shy kappa who lives on the Youkai Mountain, and as such, has the ability to control water similar to the rest of her kind. The extent of this power is never put into detail, however, though she has been seen using it to shoot small fountains of water and even as far as summoning massive tidal waves. Whilst on the surface a shy kappa, Nitori's also a ruthless and greedy profiteer with a sense of superiority and a tendency to be rather rude - though that's hardly unique to her, just about everyone in Gensokyo is rude. Nitori, being a kappa, is also known to use tools of her own creation such as mechanical arms and other gadgets.

For farming Nitori unfortunately lacks both ATK UP and Spirit Power UP which, combined with her backloaded Last Word, means that farming is simply out of the question for her. If you still want to try, make sure to use Ephemeral Foam: Burst! Bubble Dragon with a Spirit Power UP Story Card first, as it provides her best possible damage increase.

Nitori does actually have some uses regardless of her poor performance in farming. She brings Solo target Water and Metal element Spell Cards with only 1 break at 0 Power, and only 1 more break at P2 and P3. She can apply 2 Electrified Barriers to all foes, though the second Barrier has a 10% chance to fail, leaving them with only 1. Her ability to apply these Electrified Barriers does give her some niches such as team-wide accuracy support and goes well with Discharge attacks when setup correctly. Nitori has two Skills that lower the target's accuracy, and quite a bit at that, though this debuff is rather pointless unless you're about to take some big hit at full force.

Overall Nitori Kawashiro doesn't have a whole lot going for her and needs quite a bit of team support to really make use of her own kit.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on October 31, 2022)

Spell Card

The Witch of Scarlet Dreams

Valued Tools of the Trade

Ordinary Magician

Gaining access to majority of her bullet lines for elemental breaks is what you should aim for when using her Spell Cards. Thus, it is highly recommended to put The Witch of Scarlet Dreams for Spirit Power UP and Accuracy UP cards like Valued Tools of Trade to ensure that her bullets hit.

Last Word

Ordinary Magician

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Nitori only really has one good skill, that being Failed Prototype. Leveling this Skill up to 10 is important as each level adds 10% to her chances at applying a second barrier. The last two Skills aren't worth your time and are better off spent on another unit.

Character Strengths

Access to Water and Metal element attacks

Provides team-wide accuracy support

Applies up to 2 Paralyze Barriers with her Skill 2

Character Weaknesses

Very low damage

Low utility

Low amount of Breaks
