Remilia Scarlet (Tiny Devil Mistress)

E9 Remilia Scarlet was released on April 28th, 2022 in Ultra Festival: Tiny Devil Mistress.

Universe E9 Remilia Scarlet, the Tiny Devil Mistress, is still similar to how we know her in more familiar Universes; she is the head of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and the older sister of Flandre Scarlet, but things aren't quite right in this specific rendition of the mansion. Although Meiling still guards the gate, Koakuma still tends to the library, and Patchouli still studies endlessly, Sakuya is nowhere to be found, and there's an air of unease in just being there. Remilia is still incredibly strong, and her ability, "to manipulate fate", is still intact in this version of her, making her an EX-Tier Friend, but will it be enough to protect the Mansion itself and her family in it?

For farming, Remilia’s damage is not to be underestimated. Despite her Last Word, Scarlet Devil Mansion, having a boost scale of 1-1-3, her turn 1 damage is still excellent and it grows dramatically with access to all three boosts. Thanks to this, Remilia  is both a good option for event farming and can also be used to farm story card stages. Remilia can farm 3-3-3 at 8 SP, 3-6-3 at 8 SP, Hifuu E9 at 12 SP, and a future story card stage. 

In challenging content, Remilia leans on her insane damage with 3 boosts, mentioned above. Remilia also supports the team capably with her sizable buffs for Yin attackers. With her 1st skill, Stamp Magic, she provides herself 1.25 P and charge while providing 2 stages of Yin ATK up to the party for 2 turns. The Yin ATK support is also supplemented by her 3rd skill, Fantasy Newcomer, which not only provides 2 stages of Yin ATK up to the party for 3 turns (extending the duration of the 1st skill), but also provides 2 stages of Crit ACC up for 3 turns and 0.40 P to the party. These 2 skills also are on a short cooldown coming at a 4 turn cooldown, thus allowing her to cycle usage of these for content like Elemental EX. As for her 2nd skill, Scarlet Mist Barrier, Remilia gives herself 1 barrier with a 50% chance to get 2 instead while also giving herself 2 stages of Crit ATK up for 2 turns and reducing all her enemies’ evasion by 2 stages for 2 turns. All in all, her skills alone lend her to be a premium Yin support with some ability to help bolster the crits of her allies. However, this isn’t all that Remilia can do to help the team. With her 1st Spell Card, God’s Punishment: Young Demon Lord, she provides 2 stages of Yin DEF up to the party for 3 turns and inflicts 2 layers of Poison anomalies to all enemies for 2 turns. Her 2nd Spell Card, Scarlet Gensokyo, gives her 1.0 P and 3 layers of Poison anomalies to a single enemy for 3 turns. The poison barriers that she inflicts are a bit contradictory to her kit, as she is a Yin nuker while poison anomalies are effectively a Yang debuff. At the same time, her 2nd spell card is a bit awkward to use effectively for the poison break. One notable thing that Remilia uniquely has is her Focus shot, Demon Lord Arrow. Her focus shot, with proper setup, can hit really hard. At the same time, it is guaranteed to stun the enemy when used with 3 boosts. Thus, Remilia’s focus shot provides both a powerful attack and utility that outclasses even spell cards from other youkai. Nearly all of her attacks also can heal herself, thus making her a bit bulkier than expected. 

For barrier breaks, Remilia is primarily focused around Moon and Fire. Having a P0 Moon spread shot, Demon Lord Cradle, Remilia also possesses 2 Fire and Moon breaks on her 1st spell card. However, the 1st spell card’s breaks are backloaded, locked behind the need to boost multiple times. Thus, you can only reliably count on 1 Moon and Fire break on the first st turn with 2 boosts. On the other hand, her 2nd spell card has 3 Moon and 3 Fire. With a 1-2-2 boost scaling, she can reliably get 2 Moon and 2 Fire breaks on the 1st turn with 2 boosts. Additionally, this spell card can also be used to break Poison anomalies if need be. However, as mentioned earlier, it is a bit awkward to use this as the line which breaks Poison anomalies will hit during the middle of her attack instead of right away. 

Overall, Remilia is a powerful mistress to behold. With the ability to do insane amounts of damage on the 1st turn and even more with setup, Remilia backs this up with great support as the best Yin supporter as of her release. With good barrier breaks to boot, Remilia can do it all.
