Should You Pull?
Only if Waifu. The Fish and the Werewolf are here to complete the Youkai Grassroots Network collection of lovable Friends in Touhou Lost Word, which is plenty enough reason for anyone to consider adding them to their ranks. That said, both Wakasagihime and Kagerou aren’t particularly impressive, especially when pit up against the current line-up of Friends vying for attention. Koishi (F1), Satori (S2) and the rotating prayer of Lunar War Friends all serve as amazing substitutes to their modest L1 counterparts running today.
If you’re looking for some minor support or a selfish attacker, or simply want them for your collection, you can’t go wrong with pulling on this Prayer. Otherwise, there are always more fish (and wolves?) in the sea.
Quick Overview
Kagerou’s canine traits allow her to fulfil the requirements of being a Speed-class Friend in Touhou Lost Word.
Decent Wood and Moon breaks
Delivers decent Wood and Moon breaks on enemies, with her first and second Spell Cards hitting all enemies with 2/2 Moon/Water Breaks each. Her Last Word hits a single Enemy for 3/3 Moon/Water, leaving her with a 0P Wood on her Focus Shot to finish things off.
Slicing helps with damage boosting
While she has Slicing on all her Spell Cards, this is especially prevalent on her Last Word, with slicing values of 80%/0%/0%/80%/0%/90%, turning it into a bona fide ST Nuke.
Single target Last Word limits her to hitting just one thing hard.
While there’s no knocking ST attacks in general due to enemies being able to put ALL Resist up, her limited targeting slightly dampens her as a general purpose attacker.
Selfish attacker
Kagerou lends very little to team synergy, focusing only on what she can do to the other team, with no real utility outside of breaks and damage.
Evasion tanking is iffy at best, especially at low levels.
Evasion isn’t as reliable as solid damage negation.
Wakasagihime’s quiet, level-headed demeanour manifests as a Support-class Friend who is ever at the ready to assist her compatriots in battle.
Decent Water breaks
Delivers decent Water breaks on enemies, with her first and second Spell Cards packing with 3 and 4 Water Breaks each. 0P Water on her Focus Shot helps with longer battles.
Enables Yang focused teams
Boosts Accuracy, Yang ATK and Agility through a combination of Spell Cards, Skills, and Graze.
Heals team HP and barriers
Recovers both HP and Barriers for her team via her Support oriented Last Word.
Support Last Word isn’t particularly impressive
There are very few instances where Wakasagihime’s inclusion will outclass an offensive Last Word.
Large cooldowns on skills
Expect to wait between 5-7turns for her Skills to cooldown; enough time to switch out someone fresh who can finish the job in her stead.
Evasion tanking is iffy at best, especially at low levels.
Evasion isn’t as reliable as solid damage negation.
