The Most Seiga of Lunas

Why I made this.

I don’t know, but I might as well make something for Touhou game strats shown in text and Tumblr is the only platform that allows that (except reddit but eh, this’ll be too frequent and in-depth)

General DDC Scoring Strats (Sakuya B Edition)

If you haven’t seen my last post (https://necromasterluna.tumblr.com/post/624055747561521152/general-ddc-scoring-strats-marisa-b-edition) go ahead and read that first. Now, time to get into it:

Wait a bit before bombing, you’ll have more bullets on screen to freeze and graze. Of course, don’t wait too long, or else you’ll have less bullets than if you didn’t.

Know the patterns more. You’re using the least damaging B shot (correct me if Reimu B’s damage is less) so expect to have to get into sticky situations and spells that last longer. This is a “most of the time” type of thing, however there’s one below this that can apply in some situations too.

Maximize damage output. If you’re in a situation where you have max power, be more aggressive and stay under the boss to speedkill. If you planned a suicide there, then that helps with this too. However, most of the time, such as boss Kagerou and Yatsuhashi, you’ll have to use the one above.

Try to shotgun for more PIV when you can. Sakuya B works like this: the closer you are to a (mid)boss or enemy, the more PIV you get. So try to shotgun sometimes too. I have noticed her more optimal DPS is when not shotgunning, so do this only when you can afford to lose a fair bit of damage.

And this wraps up shot-only tips, I’ll make some broader strats that can apply to any shot (these are most preferable though) and document my general experience with scoring this game. Till then, adieu~!

General DDC Scoring Strats (Marisa B Edition)

I personally prefer Marisa B to Sakuya B but I’ll make a post like this for both. Not much more exposition to be done so I’ll get into it:

Bomb. A lot. More than Sakuya B even. And be sure to get your bonuses from the conversion into power. You’ll regain them through various methods anyway, so you might as well use them. You still gain green score so there’s nothing to worry about there.

Take advantage of your DPS. You’re playing the strongest B shot in the game, USE IT! Try to generally be more aggressive, as you can speedkill spellcards and get the spell bonuses without minimizing them (unlike as Sakuya B, where it’s inevitable).

Graze a bit more too. Though the bombspamming also does wonders for your PIV, it never hurts to get more. They both have bigger grazeboxes (won’t make a strat post for Reimu just because of that) but I’d say since you get less i-frames during your bomb and get way less PIV from it too, this will definitely help.

And that’s pretty much it. I’ll go over some strats that appeal more to Sakuya B in another post and some even more general strats that can apply to a broader range of shottypes and scoring in general too. And I promise this won’t be this amount of scoring-focused in the future. Till then, adieu~!
