Asagiri
Expand
Asagiri (a Touhou LW original) refers to morning mist. This is an apt temperament for Wakasagihime since she lives in the Misty Lake. Wakasagihime is endowed with Water Phase, since mermaids can breathe underwater, and Sun Essence, as she harbors untold youkai power.

The flexible and patient Water Phase resists Metal Phase, because metal collects water, but it is weak to Earth Phase, because earth directs water.

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

Character Shots

Wakasagihime's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She shoots out scales with a powerful tail slap. Fish scales are composed of dentin and enamel, and it is theorized that fish developed teeth through the evolution of scales close to the mouth. Wakasagihime's scales might be her hidden fangs.

Wakasagihime's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a school of fish. Wakasagihime is probably loved and respected by the fish in the lake because she is a beautiful and gentle youkai. They will put their lives on the line to protect her.

Wakasagihime's Spell Card. She attacks with waves of scales. Wakasagi fish, also known as Japanese smelt, are known for their smooth, lustrous scales, but there are slight differences between individual fish. Their habitat also affects how they look. It seems that the world of fish is surprisingly complicated.

Wakasagihime's Spell Card. She creates a colossal wave in this attack. ''Tidal wave'' is a colloquial term for a massive wave because it resembles a rapidly rising tide. However, the term ''tsunami'' is generally used nowadays. This Spell Card may provide a glimpse at the depths of Wakasagihime's hidden youkai power since lakes do not usually have such large waves.

Wakasagihime's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She sheds a single mermaid tear. There are legends that mermaid tears can become pearls or even bestow immortality. Apparently, mermaid flesh and blood also have mysterious properties. Perhaps it is the fate of all mermaids to be hunted, considering that even Kagerou once tried to eat her in the past.

Character Ability

Capable of growing in power when underwater
Expand
Wakasagihime's ability as a mermaid. This is an apt power for a water-dwelling youkai, but it doesn't really help her in battles of bullets since they are mostly conducted in the sky. Perhaps she is known as a gentle youkai because she is comparatively less powerful out of the water.

There are many tales all over the world about the species known as mermaids. The most famous story is probably the fairytale about a little mermaid written by a renowned author. The ancient legends of mermaids depict them as beautiful, long-lived, otherworldy creatures in a similar vein to fairies. In Japan, the most famous mermaid tale is that of Yao Bikuni, which is about a girl who became a nun after acquiring immortality by mistakenly eating the flesh of a mermaid. There are legends where mermaid meat was served in other worlds like the Dragon Palace, and it is depicted as a type of panacea that grants eternal youth and longevity. Regardless of origin, tales of mermaids generally seem to agree that they are ephemeral creatures.

Even in this modern day, the ocean remains a treasure trove of mysteries to the humans who live on land, and the water's edge is a barrier that separates these other worlds. Perhaps all beings who live on this barrier are ephemeral and delicate.

Character Analysis

Wakasagihime was released on November 4, 2022 in "Prayer: Shimmering Swimmer Shadow Shifter." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

The Mermaid of the Misty Lake makes a splash! Born of tail and fin and blessed with a princess-like elegance, Wakasagihime is part of the Youkai Grassroots Network that rose up in rebellion during the events of Double Dealing Character. Her quiet, level-headed demeanour manifests as a Support-class Friend who is ever at the ready to assist her compatriots in battle.

As a Utility

  • Minor team Spirit P Support via her second Spell Card.
  • Quick from her second Skill allows her to fire off her buffs before others get a turn in.
  • Multiple sources of Spirit P up helps keep her stocked for Boosting

As an Offensive Support

  • Boosts both Yang ATK and Agility through a combination of Spell Cards, Skills, and Graze.
  • Boosts team Accuracy via Skill.

As a Tank and Defensive Support

  • Boosts Yang DEF and Evasion through a combination of Spell Cards, Skills, and Boost.
  • Recovers both HP and Barriers for her team via her Support oriented Last Word.
  • Chance to recovers her own Barrier through her second Passive.
  • Reduces Liquid damage dealt to her by 20%
  • Can Switch to further recover her partner’s Barrier and heal anomalies.

As an Attacker

  • Spell Cards have decent Water element bullet lines.
  • 0P Water on her Focus Shot gives her some staying power for targeted breaking.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on October 02, 2023)

Spell Card

Though it may not seem as important due to Wakasagihime's nature as a Support-type Friend, The Witch of Scarlet Dreams can keep her stocked for Water breaks, and allow her to maximize her Last Word's supportive capabilities which scales with Boosts. To double down on her Support though, cards that boost the team's Yang ATK, Yin ATK, CRIT ATK, Spirit Power or Accuracy are helpful here. For offensive options on her first two Spell Cards, go with Sharp Boosting Cards on Spell Card 1 and Liquid Boosting options on Spell Card 2. Both Spell Cards have options that could potentially boost damage for their respective card by at least 50% (or more with Water + Liquid cards for Spell Card 2), transforming her from meek minnow to Threatening Tuna against her foes.

Last Word

Aid Last Words limit Wakasagihime's options to cards that can help boost her team’s capabilities further or cards that can debut particular enemy stats. Some Boosts for the party you might want to consider would probably include Accuracy and Spirit Power above all else, although if you want, you can also look to Yang ATK, Yin ATK, CRIT ATK, Barriers and even CRIT Accuracy if necessary to help fellow DEST Friends max out their CRIT rate. As for the debuffing side, there is Yang DEF, Yin DEF and CRIT DEF debuffs on enemies to consider.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Go with her third skill, Dark Stone for the ever important team Accuracy UP while boosting her Yang ATK and Spirit P to enable her own offensive abilities. Depending on how you’d like to utilize her, you can max out her, first skill, Porous Stone to help boost team Agility, or her second skill, Smooth Stone to give her priority and some Spirit P when firing off her Last Word for setup.

Character Strengths

+ Decent Water breaks

+ Enables Yang focused teams

+ Heals team HP and barriers

Character Weaknesses

- Support Last Word isn’t particularly impressive

- Large cooldowns on skills

- Evasion tanking is iffy at best, especially at low levels.
