Kai-u
Expand
Kai-u (a Touhou LW original) refers to a phenomenon where whirlwinds blow animals and fish into the air and drop them on the ground like rain. This is an apt temperament for Sekibanki, who can float many heads in the air. Sekibanki is endowed with Fire Phase, for her hidden passion, and Star Essence for her resolute independence.

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

Character Shots

Sekibanki's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a long-range headbutt. You could say that she throws her head. It looks like she could hurt herself if she doesn't execute this attack perfectly. This is dangerous, so do not try it at home.

Sekibanki's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). This time, she leaves her head behind and attacks only with her body. Tackles are more effective when done from a low stance, so this might be more powerful than it looks. Incidentally, which is the main part of Sekibanki, the head or the body?

Sekibanki's Spell Card. Her head floats in the air and shoots bullets. This is perhaps her most standard Spell Card attack. It may be a somewhat common sight now, but the fact that her head attacks while separated from her body gives it that creepy youkai flavor.

Sekibanki's Spell Card. Her head and body separate and fire a volley of bullets together. Dullahan is a type of fae spoken of in western countries. It is a headless knight that appears near people who are close to death―similar to phantoms or shinigami. If nothing else... they are terribly frightening.

Sekibanki's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). This is a slightly modified version of Sekibanki's Head Spiral Laser. Firing lasers from one's head is stylistically beautiful, but now she has managed to fire spiral lasers by spinning three heads at once. This kind of technique is difficult for normal youkai to pull off, but not for Sekibanki. Spiral lasers are definitely stronger than normal ones.

Character Ability

Capable of making her head fly
Expand
Sekibanki's ability as a rokurokubi. By watching how she fires her bullets, you can see that she is both the type of rokurokubi that detaches their head from their neck and the type that elongates their neck. The type that can detach its head has apparently existed for longer. A famous artist once portrayed the rokurokubi with a line connecting the head and torso to show that the head was floating in the air. However, this seems to have led to the misconception that there are rokurokubi that can extend their necks. There is a theory that the head-detaching rokurokubi originate from the hitoban youkai of China. The stories and legends of rokurokubi have been told in many different time periods and lands, and they are even a popular theme for rakugo performances. They are also the subject of many paintings, but these are not necessarily based on specific tales of rokurokubi youkai―It seems they are simply valued as a good subject for youkai artwork. Rokurokubi are one of the most well-known youkai, but there are probably very few in the outside world who actually believe in their existence. Sekibanki is a peaceful youkai who lives in the Human Village while hiding her true identity. Rokurokubi are familiar with humans to the point that they are no longer feared... and perhaps this is one way she has chosen to present herself in Gensokyo.
When inflicted by Barrier Status Burn or Blind, inflicts the same Barrier Status to target.
When using Boost, own Yang ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).

Character Analysis

Sekibanki was released on March 8th, 2022 in "Festival Prayer: Pegasus Dullahan?!". For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

Sekibanki is a "Rokurokubi", which are a type of youkai who look identical to regular humans, but have the ability to detach their head and fly it around separately from their body, or elongate their neck to great lengths for a similar effect. As such, Sekibanki lives peacefully in the Human Village without much fear of being found out. During the Social Upheaval Incident, Sekibanki was affected by the power of Shinmyoumaru's Miracle Mallet, which made her aggressive towards Reimu, Marisa and Sakuya, but she was quickly defeated. She is friends with Wakasagihime and Kagerou Imaizumi, and all three are a part of the "Grassroots Youkai Network", an organization which is a gathering of weaker youkai for the purpose of sharing information with one another.

Sekibanki is a capable event farmer with the potential to farm story cards. Her All targeting Last Word, Sky-Splitting Fiery Gaze, gives her the accuracy she will typically need due to having 3 levels of All EVA DOWN for 2 turns along with 2 levels of YANG ATK UP for 3 turns to further augment her power in nuking. That said, her ability to nuke enemies only reaches its potential if she hits her Killers. When Full Break happens during her Last Word, the debuff will be removed which will result in her accuracy to drop. However, this is not a problem as long as her 2nd skill, Extendible Neck is active.
Solo Stage Farms: 3-6-3 

As for challenging content, she has good access to Fire breaks. This is prominent in her 1st Spell Card, Flight Sign: Flying Head, which gives access to 3 Fire breaks at 2P to all targets. These fire breaks make it easier for you to deal with enemy barriers, not to mention it gives 2 Agility UP for 3 turns to your party which is helpful for units who have Slicing bullets.

However, she is fragile due to her extremely low HP stat. Her fragility makes it harder for her to set up as you will need to balance keeping her alive against the time she needs to receive buffs. Mitigating this weakness with her 2nd Spell Card, Flying Head: Dullahan Knight, can help her survive for a turn or two as it gives her 3 levels of YANG DEF UP for 2 turns and 3 levels of EVA UP for 2 turns.

For overall barrier breaking capabilities, her only source of breaks stems from the elemental department. Her attacks mainly consist of Fire element bullets with a little bit of Star and Moon added in. Her Spread Shot, Rocket Headbutt has a total of 2 Fire elements which are accessible at 1P and 3P. Meanwhile, her Focus Shot, Remote Tackle allows her to easily access one Fire at 0P with a total of two at 2P. For spell cards, her 1st Spell Card has 3 Fire in total and the 2nd Spell Card allows access to 2 Fire and 2 Moon, however it is better used as a Moon break option since 2 Fire breaks require 3P. Lastly, her Last Word has 2 Fire, 2 Moon, and 2 Star.

Here are the chances for Sekibanki's secondary effects, alongside her Hard and Slicing scalings (per bullet):

Rocket Headbutt:
Chance for YIN and YANG DEF DOWN (2T): 30%/0%/0%/0%/0%/0%

Hard: 0%/40%/0%/0%/0%/0%

Remote Tackle:
Chance for AGI UP (2T): 70%/85%/0%/0%/0%/0%

Flight Sign: Flying Head:
Slicing: 50%/0%/0%/50%/0%/50%

Flying Head: Dullahan Knight:
Hard: 50%/0%/0%/50%/50%/50%

Sky-Splitting Fiery Gaze:
Hard: 30%/40%/0%/0%/0%/0%

Slicing: 30%/40%/0%/0%/100%/0%

Story Card Recommendations

Spell Card

Spirit Power UP on her spell cards will be a very good choice because it allows her to easily access her elemental breaks.

Last Word

Ordinary Magician supplements Sekibanki with a consistent buff of YANG ATK UP and Laser Bullet UP. The CRIT ATK UP on Ordinary Magician is just a bonus for her because her Killers do not cover a lot of enemies. However, to fully maximize her full damage potential, Unmoving Great Library will be the best choice as it boosts the damage of both Moon Bullets and Laser Bullets.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Prioritize her 2nd skill, Extendible Neck as not only does it give 1P UP, it also gives 2 Accuracy UP which enables Sekibanki to not miss at all while having access to more bullet lines. Next, you will want to level up her 3rd skill, Extra Heads as it gives her a boost in Yang ATK for more damage and Evasion which can save her from being one-shotted by enemies. Finally, her 1st skill, Hiding in the Village will be the last priority since her scaling values are quite low and not that reliable.

Character Strengths

+ All-target Evasion DOWN on Last Word
+ Good set of Fire elements
+ Human and Fairy Killer on Last Word

Character Weaknesses

- Extremely low HP stats
- Lack of team utility
