Kaisei
Expand
Kaisei refers to pleasant weather with clear skies for as far as you can see. The simple clarity is reminiscent of Reimu's honest personality. Reimu is endowed with Wood Phase, free like the wind, and Sun Spirit, from her duty as the Hakurei shrine maiden.

The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood.

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

Character Shots

Reimu Hakurei's Spread Shot. Her miraculous ofuda (paper talismans) home in on the target. It might seem a bit unfair to her enemies, but it goes to show how powerful a shrine maiden can be.

Reimu Hakurei's Focus Shot. It shoots cleansing needles of faith to attack the target. This packs quite the punch even if you're not a youkai... Kogasa should be able to replace the needles with her blacksmith skills if necessary.

Reimu Hakurei's Spell Card. Reimu's signature bullet hell attack sends a barrage of glowing globes at its target. Its beautiful brilliance seals away youkai before they can even think of resisting. According to Marisa, Reimu uses this attack a lot.

Reimu Hakurei's Spell Card. She uses her ofuda to create a barrier that encircles the target before letting loose a barrage of bullets. It's just like Reimu to have a bullet hell attack that youkai would definitely not like.

Character Ability

Capable of flight
Expand
If this were just the ability to float in the air, it wouldn't be anything special in Gensokyo, but in Reimu's case, it's more than that. Her ability sets her free from everything, resulting in its ultimate form, Fantasy Nature. When she reaches that point, nothing can defeat Reimu: not threats, not pressure, and not even gravity.
When using Boost, party's Yang DEF 1 level UP (1 turn).
When using Graze, party's Yin DEF 1 level UP (1 turn).
DMG from effective elements 20% DOWN.

Info
Praying for a wish to come true... Or perhaps it's just for a bit of a distraction. The Hakurei shrine maiden's prayers are always a spectacle to behold.

Character Analysis

Reimu Hakurei was released on May 11th, 2021 as part of the starting roster. Their analysis was last updated around June 2nd, 2021. For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

"But remember: If you don't work, you don't eat. You have to help me out too. I'm counting on you!"

The Shrine Maiden of Gensokyo, Reimu Hakurei is something of an enigma. Some see her as a reliable big sister who'll always get the job done. Some see her as a airhead with a serious lack of work ethic and too much pride. Most can agree she's somewhat greedy, but the extent varies. But what everyone can agree upon is that she treats everyone equally and makes sure the balance is kept in Gensokyo. Serving as the series deuteragonist alongside Marisa Kirisame, Reimu's ability to resolve any incident manifests itself in LostWord by being a extremely powerful tank, one that all new players get for free.

For farming purposes, Reimu possesses a reasonably powerful and somewhat backloaded All Last Word. As such, she will often require 2 or 3 turns to get the job done, and it's best to avoid any stages where enemies resist Sun. 

For harder fights, Reimu circumvents the usual weaknesses of LostWord tanks. Her damage potential is rather high, due to the immense Hard scaling on her Last Word at 3 Power. She brings a large amount of defensive utility to the team, in the form of a large amount of Yang and Yin DEF and Evasion UP to All Allies alongside between her passive and skills. Her own Focus is somewhat low for a tank, but as Focus is generally considered a somewhat unreliable stat, this is far from crippling. Her damage outside of her Last Word is also somewhat low, which can be a problem in extremely hard fights. Finally, whilst she only has access to Sun, she get 0 Power access to it on both her Sealing Circle, and Persuasion Needle, the later of which is spammable due to being a shot.

Overall, Reimu is a extremely powerful friend, especially since she's free. Whilst she has some problems farming Sun resistant enemies, and her damage can be low outside of her Last Word, her kit is overall very powerful and she is well worth investing into. 

Here are the chances for Reimu's secondary effects, alongside her Hard scaling (per bullet): 

Spirit Sign: Fantasy Seal: Hard 0%/0%/0%/50%/0%/70%

Dream Sign: Sealing Circle: Chance to lower Yang DEF 0%/40%/50%/0%/0%/0%

Chance to lower Yin DEF 0%/40%/50%/0%/0%/0%

Fantasy Nature: Hard 80%/100%/100%/100%/100%/100%

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on October 06, 2023)

Spell Card

Reimu being a Defense-Class Friend means she will be lacking in a lot of offensive areas. With Yin DEF and Yang DEF covered, she will want to focus on areas like Spirit Power, Accuracy, and Yang ATK. If you are aiming to set up for her Last Word, CRIT ATK may be an option too, and if you want to make up for lacking Barriers granted to the team, covering that may be an option too. If for absolutely whatever reason you want to focus on Reimu's Spell Card damage, Story Cards that boost Light and Energy and Spell Cards 1 and 2 respectively will do, although Reimu's Spell Card 2 is slightly more Yin Focused, so keep that in mind. Regardless, you'll most likely want to set up for her Last Word.

Last Word

Reimu's awkward mix of Ofuda and Energy in her Last Word might be difficult to navigate, but generally speaking, it's better to focus on the Ofuda side of the attack. With 2 viable Ofuda picks in the form of Summer God, Fantasy Sea as well as Shrine Maiden Reborn for their 50% Boosts in Ofuda, those are the ones to go for here. However, other alternatives for Ofuda may be First Tea of the Season for its 30% Boost, accompanied by 25% Boost options like 19th Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai, A Curious Festival and Reimu's Great Exorcism.

For some interesting options that may be possible to have some fun with while having some sort of use as well would be Divine Spirit Tajikarao for its 25% Sun Boost as well as an increase in CRIT ATK for the team. And another one that makes use of Reimu's Defense Role would be Serene Sage, as it boosts her own Yang DEF as well as decrease the enemy's Yang DEF.

Character Strengths

+ Powerful All Last Word which scales at 3 Power
+ Highly spammable 0 Power Sun on a shot
+ Powerful defensive utility, having large amounts of Yin & Yang DEF, and Evasion Up on both skills and her passive
+ Every new player gets a free copy.

Character Weaknesses

- Very low damage outside of Last Word
- Only has access to Sun
- Low Focus for a tank
