Finally started cutting through postgame bosses like a Scythe of Calamity through butter.
First off, I regretfully excised the Yakumos from my team. Ran was just taking up too much space and Yukari's nuke, absurd though it was, required too much fiddling to be safe. Replaced Ran with Hina[Adding Enchanter Reimu in place of Rumia to compensate for the lost defensive buffs], Chen with Mystia[For the status effects] and Yukari with Yuyuko/Yuuka/Kanoko[Whichever vaguely durable mage has the best elements for the given boss]. I also turned Kaguya and Flandre into Gamblers and invested a bunch of money in Shikieiki as an alternate Atk-scaling nuker for Dark-based enemies. This whole process took like twenty minutes.
Sporting my new set-up[With Yuuka on mage duty], I decided to challenge The Great "
C". I'd already tried it a few times with my old set-up and figured out their gimmick:
There are five "C"s, each with slightly different defensive stats and around 2-3 million health. And if one or more of them dies and another "C" gets a turn, they will revive all fallen "C"s with full health. So they all have to be killed at once.
That fight, with my revised party, isn't so much dangerous as tedious. Mystia's poisoning and Yuuka/Kasen/Suika's nature based attacks whittled them down while Byakuren buffed everybody and Hina kept the "C"s unlucky. Most of their attacks were dealing very little damage. With one exception:
Black Universe. Komachi, despite having easily three times the health of anyone else in the party, died quickly to a Black Universe instantly followed up by another attack. Tenshi, taking her place as a tank, did much better. Their absurd defences meant that they could tank like a beast even at 1 hp. Time wore on, Hina spun, Yuuka flowered and Mystia poisoned. Until one of the "C"s got to one health. That meant that I couldn't use any area attacks, not even incredibly weak ones. And so I switched to single target mode, trying to wear down the other four "C"s without killing them. After 4-5 minutes of stressful love taps, I brought out the big guns, in the form of Kaguya, Yuuka and Mystia. Only one "C" survived the initial assault[Still enough to restart the boss fight if it got a turn] and Yuuka barely got it with a flower shot before it could resummon the other "C"s.
TL;DR:I poisoned some cookies while rotating furiously and throwing boulders and flower petalsLabyrinth of Touhou 2
I also beat Shredding Amnisieri and Knowledge's Shadow, too, but that's a different story. Suffice to say that Kaguya is great, Flandre is great and the Guts ability is great.
