Red Sprite
Expand
Red Sprite (a Touhou LW original) refers to a type of electric discharge that occurs in the mesosphere. This is an apt temperament for Tenshi, who descended from Heaven.

Tenshi is endowed with Earth Phase as a member of the Hinanawi clan that serves the Nawi clan (strong against Fire Phase but weak to Wood Phase), Metal Phase since she's a celestial who lives in Heaven (strong against Earth Phase but weak to Fire Phase), and Water Phase thanks to the Water Web of Heaven and Earth (strong against Metal Phase but weak to Earth Phase). Thus, she is strong against Metal Phase but weak to Wood Phase.

Character Shots

The Spread Shot of Tenshi Hinanawi from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). She collects a sample of mist from the contemptible world down below. If she had taken the Sword of Hisou with her from Heaven, this attack would've probably been the move called ''Sword of Karma.'' But since she wasn't able to take that sword, she attacks by manipulating water temperament with the Water Web of Heaven and Earth. There's no way Tenshi would let the scarlet mist spread all the way up into Heaven without a fight.

The Focus Shot of Tenshi Hinanawi from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). She creates a swirling vortex of water in the air. If she had brought more keystones with her, this attack would've probably been the move called ''Keystone Spinning Top.'' She wasn't able to take that many keystones with her from Heaven, so she attacks by manipulating water temperament with the Water Web of Heaven and Earth. The Nawi and Hinanawi clans probably regulate the use of keystones.

A Spell Card of Tenshi Hinanawi from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). If history had followed its proper course, this attack would've probably been the ''Earth Sign: Qian & Kun Earthquake Strike'' Spell Card. Instead, she uses the Water Web of Heaven and Earth's power to cause liquefaction. Wait, wasn't there a giant catfish that could do this too? Tenshi and that catfish seem to share the ability to cause earthquakes, but is that all they share...?

If history had followed its proper course, this attack would've probably been the ''Keystone: Diffuse Qian & Kun Rumbling Cannon'' Spell Card.

You can sink into non-Newtonian fluids if you touch them gently, but they become like a solid if you hit them with strong force. Wait, wouldn't using them for defense make better use of their unique properties?

The Last Word of Tenshi Hinanawi from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). She practically opens the floodgates of Heaven by discharging a beam of heavenly water temperament. In the past, it was thought floodgates existed up in the sky that, when opened, caused rain to fall. Water falling down from the sky is a mysterious phenomenon, so it's not surprising that people all over the world sought to explain it with the presence of another realm up high. Various cultures also have legends that foretell the coming of a great flood that will wash everything away when Heaven's floodgates fully open.

It turns out that Abhassara, the Buddhist Realm of Streaming Radiance, acts as one such heavenly dam containing a planet's worth of water. However, it's hard to believe that the Water Web of Heaven and Earth can open these floodgates or that Tenshi has the authority to do so.

Character Ability

Capable of manipulating the earth
Expand
The ability of Tenshi Hinanawi from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). It is essentially the same as our version of Tenshi's ability. Tenshi had always intended to come down from Heaven to play, but never so soon. She had to expedite her plans because the Scarlet Mist Incident had lasted too long, and its influence had spread too far. She was also unable to procure the Sword of Hisou, so she took a different artifact instead―the Water Web of Heaven and Earth. Thus, this Tenshi came down to Gensokyo with different motives and a different main weapon.

Tenshi thought it might be necessary to cleanse the entire Earth with a great flood because the scarlet mist had completely decimated the land with almost no hope of recovery. Tenshi is a celestial, so it goes without saying that she is much smarter and wiser than anyone down on the ground. Even if she's considered a good-for-nothing upstart by other celestials, she is still superior to everyone in Gensokyo purely due to the fact that she's a celestial. That's why she decided to descend from Heaven before things truly became irreversible. However, she soon regretted not making that decision sooner.

Tenshi was annoyed that the ongoing disturbance prevented her from playing in Gensokyo. She wanted her first descent from Heaven to be fun. In Heaven, she had a bird's eye view of the incidents, their resolutions, and all the bullet battles since before the official rules had even been established. Competitors in battles of bullets get attacked from all sides in three dimensions, but from a celestial's perspective, it looked like a simple game where you merely had to weave through the gaps in a horizontal plane. Thinking she had uncovered some great secret, she falsely assumed she could do whatever she liked down in Gensokyo. She was soon faced with the reality that the girls fighting in battles of bullets were merely pieces on a game board and that the incidents were truly decided by the players who controlled those pieces. That's why the Gensokyo Sages exist. This led Tenshi to believe that the mist was their doing. However, after investigating some more, she realized it wasn't that simple.

The other celestials look down on Tenshi, but there's no denying that she possesses quick wits and a cunning mind. With a little bit of guile, she easily managed to get the other celestials to tell her what she wanted to know. There are a few edge cases, like the Hinanawi clan, but Heaven is mostly populated by beings who have attained enlightenment. However, Heaven is not their final destination. All celestials are fated to eventually leave this realm and reincarnate elsewhere according to the laws of the karmic cycle. Apparently, there is a way to free oneself from this cycle, called liberation or emancipation, and this is probably the ultimate stage of enlightenment. So where do the people who have attained this enlightenment go? Nobody knows, but since the number of these people can only increase, it makes one question whether the number of souls in the universe is constant. Then again, nothing stipulates that people can only reincarnate in one direction from the past to the future... Celestials have spent countless years pondering and formulating their own ideas and philosophies about this subject. Having heard all this, Tenshi concluded that just thinking about stuff like that sounds incredibly boring. But she was also delighted and proud that she could actually put this knowledge to use. The karmic cycle and the universe are one and the same, so those freed from the cycle must leave the universe. However, there are multiple universes. And if there are boundaries between these universes, then it should be possible for that youkai, who's always watching, to cross them.

The Water Web of Heaven and Earth is a mighty artifact that can fully manipulate Water Phase temperament. It is also known as the ''Muroken Konmou'' or the ''Mist Dew Qian-Kun Net,'' and it originally belonged to a certain celestial princess. However, like most artifacts of Heaven, the Water Web can choose who wields it, so its capabilities are limited by Tenshi's strength and its relationship with her. Artifacts are special magic items that can do all sorts of things, but the most powerful ones are said to have defined personalities. The Water Web cannot speak in its current form, so it communicates in other ways, but perhaps one day, it will take a different form that has a vocal apparatus. Tenshi heard from a poem-loving celestial and a sword-loving celestial that this artifact's rightful owner is a renowned and celebrated celestial... Of course, Tenshi didn't ask her for permission to borrow it. The Water Web figured that it would rather be wielded by someone inexperienced with artifacts than never get used at all.

Character Analysis

Tenshi Hinanawi (Scarlet) was released on December 15th 2023 on "Festival Prayer: Celestial of the Scarlet Sky." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

Descending from the heavenly clouds comes the Eldest Daughter we all know as Tenshi Hinanawi, who initially wanted to cause a ruckus in Gensokyo but the impact of this world’s Scarlet Mist Incident is too great to look past. Her choice of weaponry has also changed from the Sword of Hisou, since that was unable to be obtained, but this wielder of the Water Web of Heaven and Earth is not to be underestimated all the same! Will this Celestial be able to come down to earth and cooperate when seeking the Scarlet Mist’s mastermind?

A6 Tenshi Hinanawi is an Attack-Class Friend with the heavenly gifts of a strong Killer range, great Hard Scaling, Freeze anomaly inflicting and breaking and solid self-sufficiency.

As an Attacker / Supporter / Debuffer

  • Spirit Power buffs from Skill 3 (1.75), both Spell Cards’ Post-ATKs (1.30).
  • A6 Tenshi’s elements with bullet lines effective on said enemies deal 33% more damage.
  • Yin ATK buffs for the party via Boosting.
  • Yin DEF debuffs on enemies via Focus Shot bullet lines, Spell Card 2 Pre-ATK and a Last Word bullet line.
  • Yin DEF buffs for the team and for A6 Tenshi herself. Team buffs include Skill 1, with selfish buffs via Skill 2 and some bullet lines on Spread Shot and Spell Card 2.
  • CRIT ATK buffs for herself via Last Word Pre-ATK as well as a team buff with Skill 3 and Spell Card 2’s Pre-ATK.
  • CRIT DEF debuff on Skill 1 and Spell Card 1 Pre-ATK.
  • Accuracy buff for herself on Skill 3.
  • Hard Scaling in A6 Tenshi’s kit, including 133% on Last Word and both Spell Cards’ first bullet lines.
  • Killers include Gensokyo, Shrine Maiden, Magician, Maid, Vampire, Half Human Half Phantom, Ghost, Sage, Oni, Moon Rabbit, Tengu and Shinigami (Non-Gensokyo Killers cover the whole cast of Touhou 10.5 barring Iku and Tenshi!)

As a Utility / Breaker

  • Elements include Earth, Water, Metal, Wood and Fire. Some Fire and Wood bullets appear slightly on Spread and Focus Shot respectively, a good chunk of Earth bullets across both Spell Cards, Water bullets scattered across her entire kit and Metal bullets dominating her Last Word.
  • A6 Tenshi will gain Yin DEF, Yang DEF, CRIT DEF and CRIT Evasion when inflicted with Freeze anomalies. She can inflict herself with these anomalies via Skill 2 and multiple bullet lines on her Spell Cards and Last Word.
  • Inflicts Freeze anomalies on enemies also via Skill 2, Spell Card 1 Pre-ATK and some various bullet lines. These are broken through Solo-Targeting Focus Shot (2P), All-Targeting Spell Card 1 (3P) (The Freeze break occurs after the Freeze inflicts in this Spell Card) and her All-Targeting Last Word (3P).
  • Gains 4 Barriers for herself via Last Word Pre-ATK.
  • Removes 2 Binds/Stat debuffs on herself via Last Word Pre-ATK.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on December 14, 2023)

Spell Card

Since the biggest gap in A6 Tenshi’s kit is her limited Yin ATK buffs, that can easily be the main focus here. Whether it’s to increase their turn duration or to provide a larger buff, either works well for this Celestial. If that is covered though, A6 Tenshi isn’t too desperate for many other buffs (CRIT ATK and Yin DEF may be optional) but a little extra Spirit Power never hurts, whether it’s for the team or for just herself. If all the buffs are accounted for and you are ready to go all out in damage, Liquid Bullet Boosting Cards or Earth Element Boosting Cards will cover just that.

Last Word

A6 Tenshi has a Laser-Focused Last Word with most of the elements being Metal. The best options here are 50% Laser boosting options like Infinity Garden, Red Hot Polaris and Night-Splitting Light, with the first of these options having an advantage due to its Yin Stat sticks. Other Laser options include Little Sister and Sweets and Anniversary at the SDM. However, if you want to try Metal-Boosting options instead, there is Disillusion and Two Girl Rock Band, both boosting Metal by 50%.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

To break the ice, the first Skill to level up is the last one, Sluice Gate. This benefits A6 Tenshi by buffing her Accuracy, CRIT ATK and increases her Spirit Power. Next up is optional but because of the helpful Freeze anomalies to break, we will go with Supercooled Currents, which also gives A6 Tenshi more Freeze anomalies on herself as well as more Yin DEF buffs. Last up will be the first Skill, Whiteout, buffing the team’s Yin DEF and debuffing the CRIT DEF of all enemies.

Character Strengths

Killer Catastrophe in Bhava-Agra ~ Wonderful Power

A6 Tenshi is what one would expect from an Attack-Class Friend. Her Killer range is impressive with Gensokyo Killer as the highlighted Killer, her CRIT ATK buffs are vast with some extending to the party a 33% increase in bullet line power if said bullet line(s) can connect with any target’s weaknesses, great Hard Scaling supported by Yin DEF buffs, and some Yin DEF and CRIT DEF debuffs to soften up enemies for them to be dealt more damage. A6 Tenshi will not disappoint when it comes to pure damage.

Ice Breaker from Above

The Water Web wielder likes her Freeze anomalies, whether it’s onto herself (adding to Yin DEF buffs above) or to enemies, which through Skill 2, Spell Card 1 Pre-ATK and various bullet lines (including the same Spell Card). While her Spell Card 1’s Pre-ATK doesn’t seem impressive with just 1 Freeze anomaly in all targets, there are more in her bullet lines to back this up just before the Freeze break is triggered. This takes us to her break potential, with her Spell Card 1 and Last Word breaking Freeze enemies of all enemies at 3P, while her Focus Shot doing the same to a single enemy at 2P. With Skill 2 inflicting 3 layers of Freeze on all enemies, Spell Card 1’s Pre-ATK adding 1 layer to that, and 2 bullet lines inflicting Freeze on all enemies before the break is triggered, 6 Freeze anomaly breaks are possible assuming A6 Tenshi is at 3P when it comes to Spell Card 1.

Selfish Self-Sufficient Celestial

Looking at her kit, A6 Tenshi is more than capable of fending for herself, whether it’s from the vast buffs in Yin DEF and CRIT ATK, or the Spirit Power increases from her Skill 3 and both Spell Card Post-ATKs. With the Spirit Power buffs in question going hand in hand with her Yin ATK buffs when Boosting, A6 Tenshi will have no issues recharging, and she also doesn’t struggle with Accuracy buffs as Skill 3 covers that for her.

Character Weaknesses

Limited Yin ATK Buffs

Barring the Yin ATK gained from Boosting as well as the Yin DEF buffs achieved through means such as Spell Card 2 Pre-ATK, A6 Tenshi sadly struggles with keeping her Yin ATK intact. Without Story Cards or external support, she has a bit of a difficult time with keeping up her Yin ATK, although her handy Spirit Power gain makes her likely to boost more often, thus buffing Yin ATK more at least for that turn.
