Scarlet Devil Tower Floor Guide 181-190F

Welcome back to the Scarlet Devil Tower, thankfully 5 Barrier enemies still show up in the next 10 floors! So, hopefully our opponents will be a breeze for us. Although expect to see a lot of A universe lookalikes.

As usual, for all your elemental breaks needs check out the character list here. Additionally, for units that interact in a special way with barrier statuses (aka anomalies), you can check the handy filter here! 

This is a guide for the floors 181 through 190 of the Scarlet Devil Tower. If you need to refresh your memory about how the Tower works, click here. To return to the floor index, click here.

Sunny Milk and Star Sapphire are playing with Poison and Fire respectively, Accompanied by Luna Child, it seems she's the most mature out of the Fairies of Light. On second look, she is using the poison and burn to secure a win for her team! As her Spread Shot breaks Poison Layers, and her Focus Shot breaks Burn Layers, we'll have to watch out for her attacks.

Thankfully we do have a shared weakness, Moon, so we can take down the annoying opponents first with big All targeting Moon element nukes. Or we can use Friends that are immune to Burn and/or Poison to be able to ignore the entirety of this floor's mechanics.

Some recommended units for this floor are:

The Yukari Family is here! Again! Luckily, this encounter is fairly simple, all we have to deal with is Yukari's barrier regeneration, then we can easily take down the rest due to their shared weakness to Sun.

Some units that would perform greatly here are:

The Prismriver sisters are performing! They support each other with accuracy buffs, All-targeting attack resists, and some healing. Their anomaly immunities make them a bit harder to full break, but thankfully there's a shared Water weakness we can utilize. And if you have some of the following units, you can break every enemy at once quickly: 

Here we see a lookalike of Reimu from the A6 universe and... She's accompanied by 2 orbs? The Yin Yang orbs debuff our entire team's Yin ATK and Yang DEF by 5 levels, while Reimu recovers 2 barriers for her entire team, making her our top priority. To have our maximum offensive potential unchanged, it is better to bring Yang reliant nukers instead.

To take down the orbs, there's a shared metal weakness that'll make it much easier.

Here are a few examples of units that'll do good here:

Ichirin and Nazrin stand in our way. Fortunately, they have no extra gauges, but they each have 2M HP and no shared weaknesses. Additionally, as soon as the battle starts, we lose access to our Spell Cards and Spread Shots, so a switch is highly recommended as the first move.

Other than Ichirin & Nazrin's Focus-manipulating skills, we also need to be wary of their shot effects 

• Nazrin’s Spread Shot debuffs an enemy’s Yang ATK.
• Nazrin’s Focus Shot debuffs an enemy’s Yin DEF.
• Ichirin’s Spread shot debuffs an enemy’s Yang DEF.
• Ichirin’s Focus Shot debuffs an enemy’s Yin ATK

Lastly, if you notice crits to be dealing more damage than usual to your Friends, it's due to Ichirin increasing her team’s CRIT ATK by 1 level every turn via Boosting.

Some recommendations for this floor are:

No, you don't need to worry. You don't have double vision. Although we still have double the Marisa to deal with.

Not much here when it comes to mechanics; just a bunch of resistances. So we can manage this by nuking with a bullet type after we full break the opponent that applies resistances to it (preferably breaking both enemies on the same turn), or we can simply nuke with a bullet type that they do not resist. These bullets are : Light, Energy, Heavy, Missile, and Slash

Yes, you still don't have double vision. And to prepare you for what's to come, we'll be battling doubles more frequently.

Youmu cuts through time to grant her team Quick, and L1 Youmu's lookalike applies Burn to our Friends (ouch). Keep in mind all shots break burn barriers, with all of them being All targeted aside from Youmu's Focus Shot.

A way to not worry about the Burn is to use Friends that are immune to it!

Some units that'll work great here are: 

No worries, you're not going lunatic. It's just 2 Reisens, and they really hate some elements.

Thankfully only 1 of these elements are an element they're weak to, so we can completely ignore this floor's skills by using a Water+Sun/Metal nuker. 

Some amazing units here are:

It's a Miracle!- Wait no. It's just another day of multidimensional travel. 

As Sanae lowers one of our Friends' Focus, she may disrupt a stall strategy. And it is better to take down The A universe Sanae lookalike first due to her healing.

The recommendations for this floor are:

Lookalikes of the Lunar War Gardener, Soldier & Servant stand before us. And just we're completely sure the opponents we face aren't the same ones we've met already through the main and hifuu story, Sakuya’s Moon Elemental Bullets are replaced with Sun Elemental Bullets. 

As soon as the battle begins, we lose access to our Focus Shots, which normally isn't a big deal. The opponents' skills are also straightforward; Youmu lowers a single target's Focus, Reisen heals herself and raises her Focus, playing the role of a tank (as she also has the highest hp here), and lastly, Sakuya buffs her team's Yin DEF and Agility. When it comes to Gauge Bursts, Reisen grants her team resistance to All Targeting attacks for only 1 turn, and Youmu and Sakuya have an elemental resistance theme with their 2nd gauge break being an "upgraded" version of the first.

Due to all that was mentioned and the 2nd gauge bursts locking our ability to use Skills and Boost, feel free to retreat plenty of times and don't feel bad for it. 

Some other effects to keep in mind:

• Youmu (Gardener) and Sakuya (Servant) have both Hard + Slice on Spread and Focus Shots so the latter's Skill will help them deal much more damage
• Reisen (Soldier) can break an enemy’s Burn Barriers with her Spread Shot.
• Reisen (Soldier) can break an enemy’s Freeze Barriers with her Focus Shot.
• Sakuya (Servant) can break an enemy’s Freeze Barriers with her Spread Shot.
• Youmu (Gardener) will increase the team’s Yang DEF by +2 Stages every turn via Boosting, improving Hard Scaling damage further.
• Reisen (Soldier) will increase the team’s Yin DEF by +2 Stages every turn via Boosting, improving Hard Scaling damage further.
• Sakuya (Servant) will increase the team’s ACC by +2 Stages every turn via Boosting.

So it is recommended to take down the opponent you can take down the fastest and don't forget that the skills that result in elemental resistances give full immunity to them.

A list of units that'll prove very helpful here consists of:
