Should You Pull?
Worth considering if you want to adapt to the Scarlet Mist. The A6 Themed Prayers just keep on coming, this time featuring our favorite incident resolvers, Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame and…Rumia? How did she get here? Very peculiar…
As for this rerun Prayer however, it maintains some of the similarities of the Player’s Choice Prayer in a few ways, having 20 Fortune Dust when using God Crystals and has an Ascending Step-UP, making it easy to get the same amount of Fortune Dust with just 60 God Crystals! This crimson-imbued Prayer will last until the end of April.
These Friends in question all have their strong points, with A6 Reimu setting the benchmark for the A-Series Friends and still holding strong to this day with her Sun and Wood breaks and raw firepower, A6 Marisa giving her frenemy a run for her money with her Star breaks (with Water and Fire appearing too) as well as her flashy firepower, and A6 Rumia blinding the competition with her Moon and Star breaks, Blind inflicts, Blind breaks and CRIT DEF + CRIT Evasion debuffs. All 3 of these Friends have something to offer that may be of use, you won’t be disappointed with whoever flies into this Prayer for you!
As usual, good luck to those who want to dip their toes into this Prayer!
Quick Overview
Reimu’s a bit of everything - solid All targeting damage + Spell Cards, Accuracy support, and good Breaks. She lags a bit behind the highest tier of attackers, but she’s definitely great all the same.
Solid Breaks
A6 Reimu is your example of an above-average breaker, covering 2 elements very well, in the form of a lot of Wood and Sun breaks. This comes from 4 Wood/2 Sun on her first spell, 4 Sun breaks on her second spell, and 3 Wood and Sun breaks on her Last Word.
Very High Damage
A6 Reimu must have been a score-based player back in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, since two of her skills provide Spirit Power so that she can reach 2P at turn 1. Her buffs on her skills may be simplistic, but some are party-wide! Topped with further Yang DEF from her first spell and the great Hard scaling on her Last Word, A6 Reimu can easily reach some great damage numbers. It helps that she has rather decent Killer bullets, specifically Youkai-Killer.
Provides Accuracy Support
One of the party-wide buffs in question include Accuracy support while having Spell Card effects like Evasion reduction on her second Spell Card. With all that said, A6Reimu can definitely support Friends while still being strong in a longer fight.
Limited Anomaly Utility
Despite having a helpful niche in breaking an enemy’s Burn anomalies with her first Spell Card at 2P and 3P, there is nothing else to go over in what A6 Reimu brings to the table in anomalies. Granted, she is more focused on the high damage numbers than anomalies as her role would suggest.
Marisa Kirisame (Scarlet) is a Speed-Class Friend who flies in to use her elemental breaks (mainly Star), CRIT DEF debuffs and raw damage to clean house with her enemies.
Very Handy Breaks
A6 Marisa’s breaking potential will see her getting the most mileage out of Star, due to her First Spell Card having 4 Star breaks, and both her second Spell Card and Last Word having 3 Star breaks. She also brings Water and Fire, with 3 Water breaks on her Last Word and 1 Water break Spread Shot with Fire appearing on the first Focus Shot Line and 3 times in her second Spell Card.
Very Powerful Spell Cards and Last Word
With the help of Killers such as Youkai making her damage even better, A6 Marisa has what it takes to really bring the hurt on her enemies, not just with her front-loaded Last Word, but with her Spell Cards too, and this is supported by her Slice Scaling to top it off.
Fantastic CRIT and Killer Support
A6 Marisa doesn't directly help her Friends with teamwide buffs outside of Agility, instead supporting them by heavily crippling the foes' CRIT defensive stats. With a lot of CRIT DEF DOWN across her kit and CRIT Evasion DOWN on her first Spell Card, Friends with great CRIT stats or just good Killer bullets will heavily appreciate the extra damage they'll get while with A6 Marisa.
Anomaly Utility is Nonexistent
With her focus on pure power, A6 Marisa is lacking in a specific area; anomaly utility. No way to inflict or break any anomalies, this is the unfortunate weakness A6 Marisa has to come to terms with. Maybe this is why she wanted to “borrow” a certain librarian’s books…
Rumia’s darkness now comes tinged with a spot of blood magic, manifesting in a Destroy-Class Friend who focuses on spreading her Blindness to her foes with an extra serving of CRIT debuffs, allowing her allies to feast well upon the remains of her enemies.
Strong CRIT Debuffs
A6 Rumia’s kit is dedicated towards ensuring enemy teams are constantly weak to incoming CRITs, helping Friends hit those hard notes when going ham.
Powerful Blind Anomaly Setting and Breaking
Her second Spell Card takes the cake when paired with her first Skill, allowing her to break 4 Blind Barriers instantly when boosted twice. Blind breaking also features in her Last Word and Focus Shot.
Decent Tanking Utility
A6 Rumia has several layers of damage nullification, depending on how lucky she is with her passives. Her ability to recover both Barriers and HP allows her to stay healthy in prolonged battles.
Slow Innate Accuracy Gain
Unusual for modern Friends is A6 Rumia’s slow Accuracy gain, which is locked behind her Spell Cards and mostly require Spirit P expenditure to unlock. Keep some Accuracy support handy in the form of Story Cards or Friends.
Lacks Damage
Although A6 Rumia can debuff to high hell, her kit lacks any buffs to Yin ATK, as well as meaningful Killers, meaning she’ll need additional support to increase her personal output.
