Element Type Chart

Shien

Expand

Shien (a Touhou LW original) refers to purple-colored smoke, particularly the smoke from tobacco. This is an apt temperament for Sannyo, who smokes while running her gambling den. Sannyo is endowed with Fire Phase, the element of smoke, and Sun Essence, since she maintains order in her gambling den.

The formless and passionate Fire Phase resists Wood Phase, because wood feeds fire, but it is weak to Water Phase, because water dampens fire.

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

Distant Memory

Sannyo Komakusa's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). Kumomagusa bloom in this attack. Kumomagusa, a type of rockfoil plant, means ''a distant memory'' in the language of flowers... It's such a sad and emotional message.

Flowers High Out of Reach

Sannyo Komakusa's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). Komakusa bloom in this attack. Komakusa is called the queen of highland plants because its glorious pale pink flowers bring color to the desolate mountaintops. Komakusa means ''something unobtainable,'' ''a prize out of reach,'' or ''supreme beauty.'' It was named komakusa with the kanji for ''horse'' and ''grass'' because the shape of the flowers resembles a horse's head. They have been used as ingredients in divine remedies since ancient times, even though they are toxic.

Mountain Sign: Heaven-Shaking Kumomagusa

Sannyo Komakusa's Spell Card. Kumomagusa flowers dance in this attack. These plants were named kumomagusa with the kanji for ''cloud,'' ''opening,'' and ''grass'' because they grow so high up on the mountains that you can see them through the gaps in the clouds. Kumomagusa have small white flowers and are resistant to the cold. However, they are exceedingly rare and are at risk of becoming extinct.

Mountain Flower: Komakusa of Massacre

Sannyo Komakusa's Spell Card. She fires bullets tinged with the scent of komakusa smoke. Incense and tobacco share a common origin in that they were both heavily used in shamanistic rites and rituals. Considering how the chemicals in smoke can affect people's minds, it makes sense that those of the ancient past thought it was magic. Incense was also used as a kind of inhaled medicine. Yamajorou youkai and shrine maidens are closely connected, so perhaps it is only natural that Sannyo would use smoke and incense in her attacks.

Purple Haze Dragon

Sannyo Komakusa's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a great cloud of smoke that takes the form of a purple dragon. Is it just an illusion, or is it as good as the real thing since you can see and touch it? Interfering with someone's mind is practically the same as altering that person's perception of reality. Their only hope is to wake up before it's too late...

Character Ability

Capable of controlling people's minds with tobacco smoke

Expand

Sannyo Komakusa's ability as a yamajorou. She can apparently use tobacco smoke to control the mood of a place and manipulate the minds of everyone there. This is quite a strong ability, evidenced by how it affects not only kappa and yamawaro but tengu as well. Sannyo is also called Komakusa-dayuu, presumably as a title of respect for her position as a gambling den owner.

Altering minds by burning incense has historically been the purview of shamans. They burned incense for religious rites and rituals, to heal people, and, presumably, to further political agendas. Considering the relationship between gambling houses and shrines, as well as the connections between yamajorou and shrine maidens, Sannyo Komakusa's ability may derive from the bygone shrine maiden profession of an earlier age.

Yamajorou youkai and yamanba are closely related, and they are often thought to be either the exact same type of youkai or variants of the same species. They are also called yamahime or yama-onna. However, in all the tales and legends, only yamajorou are said to love tobacco. Apparently, you can even buy some time to escape from a yamajorou by scattering tobacco as a distraction. Similar to yamanba, many tales depict yamajorou as being kind to children.

There is a yamanba named Nemuno Sakata in Gensokyo who prefers to live in isolation and refuses to let others enter her territory. Sannyo, on the other hand, holds gambling events in various places all over Gensokyo, including the Human Village. It's quite astounding how two similar youkai can be so different.

Also, please note that humans shouldn't visit Sannyo's gambling den on the Youkai Mountain under any circumstances. Wait patiently until an event is held in the village.

For every layer of Barrier Status: Poison or Blind, Yang DEF, Yin DEF, CRIT DEF, and CRIT Evasion 1 level UP.

When using Boost, own Accuracy 1 level UP (1 turn).

Character Analysis

Sannyo Komakusa was released on April 7th 2023 in the VS. Divergent Spirits Ritual Prayers Pool.

Hailing from the Komakusa Gambling Den on Youkai Mountain lives a yamajorou, shrouded in tobacco smoke named Sannyo Komakusa (also known as Komakusa-Dayuu). This bookmaker most notably had an encounter with a shrine maiden, magician, maid and wind priestess in a previous incident where ability cards were the talk of the town, but these days, she expertly plays her hand by subjecting guests of her den to the smoke in the air.

Sannyo Komakusa has booked her place into Touhou LostWord as a Debuff-Class Friend who takes advantage of Fire breaks and utilizes Poison and Blind anomaly utility.

As a Debuffer

Debuffs the Yin DEF of all enemies via Skill 3 and Last Word, as well as on a single enemy on her first Spell Card.
Reduces the Evasion of her enemies with her second Spell Card.
Yin ATK debuffs are scattered in her bullet lines of her Focus Shot, Second Spell Card and Last Word

As a Utility

Multiple ways to inflict Blind and Poison anomalies both to herself and to enemies, most notably through Skills.
Breaks Blind and Poison anomalies via Second Spell Card at 2P and 3P respectively. Blind breaks are also achieved via Spread Shot at 3P.

As an Attacker

Abundance of Fire and Wood elements, with 6 Fire breaks in her Last Word.
Increases her Yin DEF via second Spell Card, contributing to her Hard Scaling output.
Gains 1.00 Spirit Power from her Second Skill.
Gains a stage of Accuracy per boost performed.
Moderate Killer range (includes Youkai Mountain, Collector and Noble)

As a Tank

Recovers 35% of her HP from her first Spell Card’s Post-ATK.
Gains +1 of Yang DEF, Yin DEF, CRIT DEF and CRIT Evasion through Poison and Blind Anomalies inflicted on her

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on April 30, 2023)

Spell Card

The Witch of Scarlet Dreams

Overwhelming Firepower

Nameless Adventurers

To keep making good use of Sannyo’s breaks on her Spell Cards, The Witch of Scarlet Dreams and Midnight Tea are great examples of cards that will go a long way in providing Spirit Power. That said, if you are looking for Yin ATK buffs, make sure to take advantage of cards like the classic Overwhelming Firepower! As for maximizing Spell Card damage, Nameless Adventurers and its +50% increase in Normal Bullets is a great fit for Spell Card 1, with Infinity Garden being rather effective for Spell Card 2 due to its increase in Laser and Wood bullets by 50% and 40% respectively.

Last Word

Technically speaking, NARAKA is far and away with a combined 90% boost for Sannyo’s full Fire+Energy Last Word, but with it being impossible for this card to be in full effect, we must wait warmly until more copies of this card come by. For now though, Worlds in Hand is your best bet, also boosting Sannyo’s Last Word via Fire and Energy, but by 55%, accompanied with a teamwide CRIT ATK bonus. As for an option that also has +2 Yin ATK stages, we have Unknown Barrier Team and its +50% Boost in Energy bullets, and if we are looking for 50% Fire, Bonds of Blood does the trick very well, with a high Yin ATK stat stick. There are also a few more 50% Boosting cards that Sannyo can play with too, with Choose an Animal Spirit, Lunatic Red Eyes and Silver Gale (can’t Limit Break for now) as honorable mentions.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

With Skill 2, Vitalizing Smoke’s granting 1.00 Spirit Power, it’s recommended to level that skill up first. With that done and dusted, Skill 3’s Debilitating Smoke is very handy for its Yin DEF and Poison anomalies inflicted upon all enemies which both helps Sannyo (and other fellow Yin units)’s damage output as well as Poison anomaly utility. Finally, we have Skill 1’s Mind-Numbing Smoke which doubles down on Blind anomalies on her enemies as well as Sannyo herself. This helps her defensive stats as per her ability, as well as additional utility pertaining to Blind anomalies.

Character Strengths

Breaking the Mold

To be in her element, Sannyo only needs Wood and Fire, as she hones in on both of them, especially Fire as her Last Word has 6 Fire breaks. Her anomaly utility is also self-sufficient, finding multiple ways to inflict Blind and Poison breaks onto her enemies and breaking them, mainly with her Second Spell Card at 2P and 3P respectively.

Definitive Debuffer

Of the debuffs that are feature in this yamajorou’s hand include Evasion on her Second Spell Card, Yin ATK scattered across some of her bullet lines, and most importantly, Yin DEF as her ace up her sleeve, which can be found in her third Skill, first Spell Card and her Last Word.

Character Weaknesses

Selfish and Finite Gambler

Aside from Anomalies and Yin DEF debuffing, Sannyo doesn’t provide a whole lot for her teammates to work with. Since she can only buff her own Yin DEF and Accuracy to an extent, she is reliant on external means of providing important buffs to her like Yin ATK and CRIT ATK. Should Sannyo score some CRIT ATK buffs, she doesn’t have the best hand when it comes to Killer range. With some of her more effective targets being Youkai Mountain, Collector and Noble to name a few, Sannyo and her house of cards have a ceiling when it comes to Killers.
