Character Analysis
Suwako Moriya was released on July 29th, 2021 in "Festival Prayer: Gods of Sky & Land." She was initially a Festival on release and later added to the general pool. For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.
Suwako Moriya is somewhat of a laid back god. Thousands of years ago, some annoying busybody named Kanako Yasaka invaded her lands, only to come crawling back when it turned out she couldn’t fully handle the curse gods which inhabited the land. After that, she struck a deal with Kanako - the annoying interloper would handle getting worshippers and striking deals, which Suwako never had much patience for, and Suwako would just provide the divine services, getting to spend her days being laid back. This was all well and good until humans began to lose faith in gods, leading to Kanako dragging Suwako along to Gensokyo in the events of Mountain of Faith, which led to a chain reaction that shook the land (and by extension, Touhou!) forever.
For farming, Suwako is the current standard for one boss stages. Essentially, all other Solo Last Words are judged against hers as a benchmark as a standard, which does not mean she has the most damaging Last Word - simply that she's used as the point other Solo Last Words must meet or beat to be considered 'good'. This will remain the case for quite some time, with notable Human and God Killers keeping her relevant in the future.
For harder fights, Suwako has two jobs - you point her at one target, and that target gets cursed. And also blown up by a billion damage. Her Solo Last Word deals a ton of damage at 3 Spirit Power, which is complimented well by the abundance of Yin ATK Up in her kit, alongside Evasion down against her primary target, plus a reasonable range of Killers in the form of Human and God. If that wasn’t enough for you, her second Spell Card is among the best in the game - it provides 2 Levels of Yin DEF Down for 3 Turns to all targets, an incredible amount of Yin ATK support. It also has an excellent 2 Water and 2 Wood Breaks on an All targeting Spell Card at 3 Power, for when you’re opting to go for Full Breaks instead. She’s also got arguably the cutest sprite in the game!
Suwako does have two notable flaws. Her first Spell Card is kind of rubbish, providing only 1/1/1/2 Metal breaks at 0/1/2/3 Power. Additionally, the backloaded nature of her Last Word means that she needs a turn or two to gather Spirit Power.
Overall though, Suwako’s a fantastic unit - she’s the Pinnacle of Native Gods for a reason!
Story Card Recommendations
(Card recommendations last updated on October 05, 2023)
Spell Card
Since Suwako can debuff the Yin DEF of her enemies, she can look to other options that can boost Spirit Power and Yin ATK. If her small Accuracy buff isn't enough, she can definitely benefit from Accuracy boosting cards, and if you can somehow land Killers, a little CRIT ATK doesn't hurt either. This brings us to boosting Spell Cards, which Spell Card 1 will mainly benefit from Slash Boosting Cards (and maybe Metal) and Spell Card 2 will like the Liquid Boosting Cards.

Last Word
Nameless Adventurers
Puppeteer and Necromancer
Overwhelming Firepower
Flight Through Silence
Lively Temple Grounds
Suwako does just fine with racking up Yin ATK buffs and even some Yin DEF debuffing via Spell Card 2, but as for her Last Word, Nameless Adventurers is the obvious best choice here and goes above all else.
For considerably lesser options, but still options nonetheless, Lively Temple Grounds also boosts Normal Bullets, but at 30% instead if the above option isn't available to you. For non-Normal Boosting Cards, Puppeteer and Necromancer will strengthen lines 1 and 4 due to being Non-Elemental, Overwhelming Firepower ensures the Yin ATK boost whole providing a tiny boost on her Wood bullets, and Flight Through Silence is a card that can ensure specific debuffs on Yin DEF and Evasion, making sure Suwako can still hit, and hit fairly hard. However, Nameless Adventurers is number 1 here for having that 50% Normal Boost.
Character Skill Level Up Recommendations
Firstly, level up Cursed God to at least level 5, as it's extremely easy to get it that high and the Yin ATK Up doubles at that point. Next, Power From The Sky should be leveled up to 10, as the extra 1 Spirit Power it provides is invaluable for both farming and harder fights. Afterwards, level up Cursed God to level 9. 10 is optional, as it only gains -1 CD at that point, which typically is not very relevant. Lastly, Wisteria of the Tenryuu River can be raised when you have no other priority skill targets, as the additional Level of Evasion Down it provides can occasionally be useful, but it's situational enough that it isn't a priority.
Character Strengths
+ Deals high Solo damage both immediately and at 3 Spirit Power
+ Fantastic Yin DEF Down support
+ Average Break potential
Character Weaknesses
- Needs 3 Spirit Power for full potential
- Spirit Power hungry when attempting to Break
