Part 19: Chapter 65 (Part 2)
New Characters
Koishi Komeiji
Personal Skills:
-Super Reflexes: At the end of the turn, if Koishi is in the rear, she switches to the front. Also increases Counter's activation rate by 50%.
-Sense of Zero: At the start of every turn, cast a random Spirit.[/url]
-Unconscious: For the first 3 turns after deploying, casts Stealth at the start of every turn. (Renders her untargetable by enemies).
-Invisible Friend: Komeiji Heart Breaker's range increases by 1. Also increases friendship level with Satori by 3. (Satori's complement to this, Unreadable Companion, instead boosts KHB's power by 300).
Spirit List: Sense, Assault, Stealth, Daunt, Confuse, Bonds
Thanks to Mind-Reader L1 Koishi casts Alert at the start of every turn, so she's basically good by default. Compared to her sister, she's much less evasive (weirdly she's considered a "Super" so she only gains 4 Mobility per upgrade instead of the standard 5) but has, like, actual attacks. If she's paired up with Satori and they both have their friendship PSes on it works out just fine anyway, and the two of them can put in serious work. Aside from that, Sense of Zero is really cool, until it casts randomly casts Mercy (to cockblock you from getting a kill) or Alert (which you were gunna get for free anyway).
Koishi's spirit list is super weird, btw. In a nice bit of symmetry, both she and Satori have a Strike-that-isn't-Strike (Satori has Attune, Koishi has Sense) at a discounted cost, and they both have Bonds, which is a fairly unique spirit that heals every unit for 2000 HP.
Mima
Personal Skills:
-Magic Charge: Gains 10% MP Regen.
-Chaotic Venom: Absolute Magic Barrier consumes 0 MP (normally costs 10).
-Cast Freely: The effect of the "Magician" skill are doubled (works out to +300 weapon power, +450 to her barrier, and a bunch of extra accuracy).
Spirit List: Sense, Mercy, Fury, Wall, Chain, Soul
Mima's back, and were it not for that part where they patched out Ancient Moon making all her attacks Post-Move back in FMW3, I'd call her better than ever. Magic Charge used to be her only PS, and she really appreciates both of the new options. Her new finishing attack, Akashic Catastrophe, is a bit finnicky at 5-8 range, but you can't complain about the damage. You also can't complain about the edge.
I don't have a lot to say about Mima. She's good at everything she does and has no particular weaknesses beyond a lack of Post-Move attacks, and even that's not a big deal since you can just buy Hit-and-Away (or else pair her with someone who can handle that).
Speaking of new attacks, Meiling really appreciates hers, since it helps her keep pace with the damage scale of the lategame, and her old finisher jumped from 1 to 1-2 range. The Akis were just fine as they were, but having the long-range option of the Double Aki Buster (which uses ammo, nicely enough) and the extra damage of the Super Aki Sisters Kick Kai really makes them shine. Alice's new Grand Guignol is pretty neat, at 1-2 range and 2 ammo it's very easy to use, and can even benefit from Shotgunning if you want to go that route.
And Youmu... exists, I guess.

Also Ryza made this thing and I don't want to let his efforts go to waste. Here's what that attack is referencing, by the way.

Next chapter has a shitload of force-deployed units, so keep that in mind while you're voting. For clarity, Murasa (on the boat), Reimu, Sanae, Marisa, Patchouli, Tenshi, Iku, Nue, and Ichirin, are all coming.
Aside from that, you've got 60.0 Cost to work with, so have fun.
