Kitsune no Yomeiri

Expand

Kitsune no Yomeiri (a Touhou LW original) means the fox's wedding and refers to a sunshower. This term is used in certain parts of Japan, while the more generic term is tenki ame, which is Yukari's temperament. That makes this temperament a perfect fit for Ran, who is both Yukari's shikigami and a fox. Ran is endowed with Metal Phase, from her sincere dedication to her duties, and Moon Essence, from her true nature hidden within.

The cold and silent Metal Phase resists Earth Phase, because earth bears metal, but it is weak to Fire Phase, because fire refines metal.

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 Ability

Capable of using shikigami

Expand

In Ran's case, the ability to use shikigami means the ability to control Chen. You could call shikigami a kind of pattern―like software for the computers used in the outside world. Ran herself is Yukari's shikigami, but she has Chen as her own shikigami too. Software allows a computer to do something it could not originally do, so youkai possessed by shikigami can do things they normally would not have been able to, but it also stops them from doing other things at the same time. If you want to know more, you should ask Yukari.

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

Character Analysis

”I'm a shikigami, so something like this is just child's play.”

The shikigami of Yukari Yakumo, Ran Yakumo is a nine-tailed kitsune who sometimes forgets her place, thusly acting with more independence than one might expect. As a shikigami, Ran is not the kitsune she possesses, more akin to software installed upon it - though since the fox’s personality never surfaces, there’s no real problem with considering Ran as the body she inhabits. Outside of that, she has a fondness for tofu, and calculates various mathematical problems in her spare time, such as figuring out the width of the Sanzu River. Bringing a powerful All Last Word to the table, Ran has run the calculations, and her verdict is: she’s a S Tier Friend.

Due to the sheer strength of her All Last Word at 1 Power, Ran is a top notch farmer. It hits so hard in fact she only really needs to watch out for beefy targets that also resist Earth.

For difficult content, Ran has problems. Her Last Word still hits extremely hard even at 1 Power, but additional Power doesn’t scale it at all, leaving her somewhat outclassed by other attackers in longer fights. Additionally, she also has almost no Elements, having only Earth and only on her Last Word - whilst it can provide up to 4 All Earth breaks, with 3 of them coming with only one boost, using it in this fashion will sacrifice a large amount of her damage. She has some Accuracy support for utility, but it is difficult to make use of as it is on a Spell Card with no elements, on a somewhat middling speed unit. But she at least has Charge, making her easy to support, and her Last Word still hits so hard it’s well worth bringing her to harder fights.

Overall, Ran’s a very strong farmer, and no slouch in harder fights either. Just don’t expect her to do anything except damage, or 3 to 4 All Earth breaks if you desperately need them.

Here are the chances for Ran’s secondary effects (per bullet):
Nasu and the Three Takadas' Killing Stone: 0%/40%/0%/0%/40%/0%

Story Card Recommendations

Spell Card

Lively Temple Grounds

Kirisame Magic Shop

Garden of the Sun

Ran’s Spell Card slots should pretty much only be used for stat sticks, with anything providing Yang ATK being preferred. The reason for this is because she already gives herself 10 Levels of Yang Atk UP for her Last Word, her Last Word barely scales with Power, and since her Spell Cards have no elements on them, hitting or missing is usually rather irrelevant. The Spell Cards listed here are simply the highest Yang ATK stat sticks for each card rarity - anything with Yang ATK on it will suffice.

Last Word

Froggy Hat

Due to Ran already bolstering herself with 10 Yang ATK, and having no built in Accuracy buffs, she wants a Spell Card with at least 2 Levels of Accuracy Up. A MLB Froggy Hat is perfect for this as on top of giving 2 Levels of Accuracy Up, it also gives her 20% Liquid Bullet power up - whilst few of the Bullets on her Last Word are tagged with Liquid, it’s the best she can do. Since it’s such a minimal difference, any Accuracy boosting card will also work, such as Valued Tools of the Trade. Finally, if you provide Ran with Accuracy Up support elsewhere, or simply let her use Shikigami: Chen before attacking with her Last Word, The Secret God of the Sky will provide her with the highest possible damage boost, due to her Spell Card having a lot of Heavy on it.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

First, level up Work of a Nine-Tailed Kitsune to level 9, as it gains 2 additional levels of Yang ATK UP at that point, with level 10 only reducing cooldown. After that, level up Shikigami Service to 10, for the additional level of Yang ATK UP. Youkai Power Focus works just fine at 1, so you can save leveling it up until she gets a Fantasy Rebirth.

Character Strengths

+ Powerful All Last Word at 1 Power
+ Self Charge allows her to work with a wide range of support

Character Weaknesses

- Last Word barely scales with Power
- Last Word can struggle against Earth-resistant enemies, due to a abundance of Earth bullets
- Only has Earth element
- All of her Earth is on her Last Word, meaning damage must be sacrificed to use it for breaking purposes
