Hakumei
Expand
Hakumei (a Touhou LW original) refers to the faint light of the sky before sunrise and after sunset. This is an apt temperament for Seiran, an inhabitant of the enormous Capital that follows a singular fate.

Her original temperament has been changed beyond recognition by the great systems of the Capital.

This temperament is specialized to solely resist Earth Phase.

Character Shots

The Spread Shot of Seiran from the Capital (a Touhou LW original). She swings her mallet with all her might. Simple but effective. The Seiran of this world has no idea what a home run is because the sport known as baseball doesn't exist in the Capital. Baseball terminology shouldn't exist, either, but Seiran still uses it for some reason. Perhaps the Capital's law enforcement turns a blind eye to words that have lost all meaning, like ''home run,'' because nothing will come from using them. However, that wouldn't excuse Seiran since she's meant to be a government official.

The Focus Shot of Seiran from the Capital (a Touhou LW original). She activates a hidden function within her mallet. It looks like a shroud of lightning covers her mallet, but it isn't exactly clear. Presumably, this attack utilizes some kind of force field. Seiran can manipulate other dimensions, so perhaps she pulled a phenomenon from another dimension into this one...

A Spell Card of Seiran from the Capital. She fires her Lunatic Gun. Previously, it was assumed that ''Lunatic Gun'' was the name of a weapon, but looking at this attack, perhaps it is the name of a specific pattern of bullets. Furthermore, it seems this world's Seiran shoots bullets directly from her mallet. Although, this isn't exactly a problem since battles of bullets are all about shooting lots of bullets at once.

A Spell Card of Seiran from the Capital. She deploys a barrage of bullets in two crescent patterns. Her marvelous skill at manipulating bullets is reminiscent of a falcon hunting its prey... or a pilot landing an Apollo Lunar Module. Seiran may seem a bit simple or naive personality-wise, but her bullet patterns are delicate and precise. Does she really shoot her bullets from other dimensions?

The Last Word Card of Seiran from the Capital (a Touhou LW original). She makes full use of her mallet in this attack. Seiran's specialized armament is called the Lunatic Pestle, not to be confused with her ultimate attack, the Lunatic Puncher. It's perfect for crushing hard objects and smashing through walls or doors. However, this world's Seiran isn't all that well versed in the art of compounding medicine, so she is oblivious to the fact that this pestle can be used to quickly make medicine. In fact, she doesn't seem to know what a pestle is either... as she predominantly uses it to break down the doors to buildings that harbor fugitives or to smash boxes that criminals could hide in. Incidentally, this pestle was invented by the Capital's Toyohime.

Character Ability

Capable of firing bullets from other dimensions (Concealed)
Expand
The ability of Seiran from the Capital (a Touhou LW original). Her ability doesn't appear to be any different from the usual Seiran... but it's hard to tell for sure because not much is really known about this ability. It seems to allow Seiran to shoot bullets from a kind of subspace. Perhaps this space is similar to Yukari Yakumo's gaps.

This world's Seiran can apparently manipulate more than just bullets. She can interfere with concepts that exist in other dimensions. More specifically, she uses her ability to read other people's thoughts. This is how she accomplishes her job as a Thought Investigator.

The Thought Police are a part of the Truth Temple, controlled by Sagume Kishin, and their main duty is to police criminal thoughts and protect their sisters (the general populace) from them. Seiran's role as an investigator of the Thought Police is to actively seek out and punish criminals who harbor criminal thoughts. Thoughtcrimes are incredibly dangerous, and in the Capital, they are treated in the same manner as impurities, making Seiran a champion of the people.

It goes without saying, but generally, directly reading someone else's thoughts is impossible. That's why the Thought Police use other means to make it look like they can... However, it seems Seiran can actually read minds to some extent. And if you thought this sounded a lot like the ability of satori youkai, then you'd be right. Seiran's thought investigation methods are very similar to the mind reading employed by satori youkai.

Satori youkai forcefully awaken memories from the depths of a person's mind by making them relive their past trauma. Seiran, on the other hand, first identifies the indecipherable depths of someone's mind as another dimension, and then she shoots thought bullets into this dimension. The bullets form a path and force the person's hidden thoughts to the surface of their mind. (There is always a safe path through the bullet patterns in battles of bullets.) These thoughts are then expressed by the person in the form of words or actions. And if Seiran can pick up on these expressions, she will obtain the same information as if she read the person's mind directly. It is not known why her method so closely resembles the ability possessed by satori youkai. Perhaps it's just a coincidence.
Immune to Barrier Status: Freeze and Paralyze.
DMG to effective elements 30% UP.
When using Graze, party's Agility 1 level UP (1 turn).

Character Analysis

Seiran (Thought Investigator of the Capital) was released on March 10, 2023 in “Ultra Festival Prayer: Blue Bunny Crimebuster." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

Having gone their separate ways, the moon rabbit duo now find themselves on opposite ends of society. Unlike her hard-boiled once-compatriot, Seiran ascended the ranks of the elite, playing by the rules and cementing her position as one of the top investigators of the Lunar Capital. Wielding a chrome plated mochi hammer as grand as her ambitions, this variant of Seiran is a Speed-class friend who supports Yang Agility teams with Water and Moon elements while stopping enemies in their tracks with Freeze and Paralyze anomalies.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on April 30, 2023)

Spell Card

Players looking to capitalize on the gains a triple Boost gives to Seiran will want some additional Spirit P assistance which The Witch of Scarlet Dreams provides in good supply. Members of the Yakumo Family and Ordinary Magician are both good options to raise and extend her Yang ATK buffs, with the former boosting Water damage while the latter gives her an additional level of Crit ATK. Should you have sufficient Yang ATK support from others, consider equipping a Miracle Mallet to give her Crit ATK the polishing it needs to shine. She’s good with mallets, isn’t she?

Last Word

With her elements being divided between Moon and Water, boosting her Heavy damage with cards like The Secret God of the Sky is more efficient, providing a flat 50% boost while giving her additional Crit ATK boosts. Standing Behind You serves as a good alternative, boosting Moon bullets by 30% while giving her Crit ATK as well. Should you lack these cards for some reason, other Heavy damage boosting cards like Summer God, Fantasy Sea will work in a pinch.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Skill 2, DIY Strength Meds is a must-have for team Accuracy and Agility buffs, as well as some Spirit P to spread cheer. Skill 1, Otherworldly Mallet gives Seiran the fuel she needs to hit those Spirit P levels she needs to hit her element lines, break anomalies and lay down a stun or two if she needs. Skill 3, Quasi Thought Scan can come last, providing another layer of Freeze to break on her opponents while also debuffing enemy Accuracy and Crit DEF.

Character Strengths

Powerful Damage Synergy

All of Seiran’s knowledge comes to bear with the plethora of synergies in her kit geared towards inflicting pain. A combination of Yang ATK and Crit ATK buffs for herself and debuffs on her enemies gives her a good head start while her Agility scaling lends her a good burst of speed. Her ability to deal 30% more Water and Moon damage on enemies weak to those elements will leave her opponents rooted to the spot as the hammer comes rushing down, the moment of impact made sweeter by the range of killers she has, which include Youkai, Kaiju, Moon Rabbit, Fairy, Machine and God. There won’t be much left to clean up when she’s done with her opponent.

An Anomaly in the Ranks

Seiran is able to manipulate both Freeze and Paralyze Anomalies to her favour, distributing them among her enemies and breaking them in wide sweeping ALL attacks that cover her Spell Card 1 and Last Word. She can do the same on a single enemy that has Burn applied to them with her Spread Shot as well.

Stunning Presence

Players looking to devise stall based strategies will enjoy Seiran’s ability to guarantee a stun on her 3P Focus Shot. This works well with her high base Agility stats and Agility buffs, ensuring she can pin enemies down before they have time to even blink.

Character Weaknesses

Could use more buffs

Seiran has a decent kit to start with, but it doesn’t give her very many levels, even when maxed out. She can use a Friend or Story Card to help boost her levels of Yang ATK, Crit ATK and Agility further to maximize her output.
