Should You Pull?
Only if you want a resilient rocket rooter. One of two new Epic Friends being part of the 2 Year Anniversary celebration, and being in the spotlight for 2 weeks, C3 Remilia Scarlet brings all the attention onto herself with her Defense-Class, breaks, and most importantly, Patchouli’s rockets! When it comes to defensive support, she has some great tactics to demonstrate, such as taking a turn to allow her team to take 0 damage from Youkai enemies, a little Bind Removal, Freezing up her enemies and breaking the ice, and of course, demonstrate what Rank II is all about, via Yin ATK II and Yin DEF II!
With that said, being more focused on the defensive side does make it a bit harder to handle Accuracy, and long-lasting Yin ATK. On top of that, her Killer range takes the route of quantity over quality, so while some may be able to connect, it’s less surefire than other great friends. However, support isn’t something other allies and Story Cards can’t handle.
But wait, there’s more! As usual for Epic Prayers, there is also a special Story Card to keep an eye out for, as Flight Through Silence wriggles its way into the mix to really go all in on debuffing all enemies, whether it be Yin DEF, Accuracy or Evasion, and the best part is that it’s nor even Class-restricted! If you feel that you could really benefit from this kind of effect, especially the Yin DEF debuffing it can bring, maybe the Story Card is enough for you to be satisfied.
With that said, the ball is in the court of the player. Will you accept this rocket obsessed iteration of Remilia Scarlet? If so, will Flight Through Silence fly into your prayers? Whatever happens, good luck to all who wish to proceed here, but don’t dither too much, or Remilia’s wings might catch fire!
Featured Story Card "Flight Over Silence"!
Quick Overview
C3 Remilia Scarlet is a Defense-Class Friend who can stand strong against Youkai enemies, bring Fire and Moon breaks, Freeze up her enemies and showcases Rank II Yin ATK and Yin DEF.
Cannot Be Thwarted
When it comes to what makes a great tank, it goes without saying you’ll want them to easily take what comes their way (and in some cases, hit back twice as hard). C3 Remilia can do great with that, as she provides Barriers for the team, Focus up for herself, Bind Removal for her subordinates, both Yin and Yang DEF support, and even Yin DEF II on Skill 3. On top of that, she grants 100% Youkai resistance, allowing her team to take 0 damage from them for that turn. If for whatever reason you are unable to Graze, and you have to take a Youkai’s attack head on for that turn, this helps deal with that kind of situation. Do be mindful of anomaly and elemental breaks though, as in C3 Remilia’s case, you just need to worry about Star element and Poison anomalies.
Freezing Fate
Having the access to Fire and Moon elements that she does is always great, but the huge abundance in Freeze utility cannot go unnoticed! Skill 3’s way of giving out 4 Freeze anomalies to all enemies, her Second Spell Card giving an extra 3 layers of it, and ways of breaking them all via the same Spell Card and Last Word can all really go a long way when it comes to potentially full breaking your enemies with ease. With instant access to 3P, this is definitely a fun way for C3 Remilia to break the ice!
Strength in Charisma
In a Touhou LostWord first, C3 Remilia pioneers Yin ATK II via her Last Word as well as normal Yin ATK being achieved via Boosting. With additional methods of CRIT DEF reduction onto her enemies, ways to keep her Spirit Power up and on top of it all, her great Hard Scaling conversion including some bullets reaching 200%, her potential in terms of raw damage could go beyond the moon, maybe all the way up to Saturn in fact!
Limited Rocket Range
As mentioned above, the CRIT DEF utility can definitely come in handy…provided her Killers land, however. She has a large quantity of them, but unfortunately, she is missing the quality that would make them be able to compete with many other powerful friends. Younger Sister, Servant, Swimsuit, Summer, Sun, Aquatic, and a good chunk of location-themed Killers.
Very Lacking in Offensive Support
Aside from Spirit Power support in a Spell Card, C3 Remilia lacks multiple buffs that could prove useful for the team: Accuracy, CRIT ATK, even to some extent, Yin ATK outside of Boosting, making them not last long naturally. The lack of Accuracy in general hurts C3 Remilia due to not always being destined to connect all her bullets.
