Part 26
Music: The Arrows and Bullets that Enshrouded the Night
The most notable difference Lunatic makes is adding more enemies, particularly rabbits.

Some Rally spam later,

and Border Team is pumped enough to cover the entire main front by themselves. Everyone else is inching around the sides to the minibosses.

Eirin has Strike, so what little chance she had of missing earlier is completely gone now.


While her skills haven't changed, her danmaku field has. Now it gives her a passive 50% HP Regen on top of her HP Regen L, which basically means that if you don't kill her in one turn you're screwed.
Eirin has the Guard spirit, but thanks to her regen she almost never uses it.

I'm not running a themed team this time, so I don't have any friendships to make Reisen easier to hit. Border and Magic Team (or rather Fantasy Seal Blink and Malice Cannon) can get high enough odds that I can steamroll her anyways though.





It's a tradition of mine to kill Reisen with Youmu on this chapter. Swords > Guns.

On Lunatic, Astronomical Entombing's field full on blocks you from doing anything. I think you're supposed to beat it by spreading out your units enough that at least somebody is in the outside rim and can bomb? Good lucking punching through 64,000 HP with only some of your units though. And forget the bonus, that's not happening.
Eirin's final spell works on a "center the field around a random player unit" method, by the way, so it's not some static sequence you can memorize. It's honestly pretty dumb.

Magic Team is forced, so you have 44.5. Note that the four canonical IN teams (Reimu/Yukari, Marisa/Alice, Sakuya/Remilia, Youmu/Yuyuko) have special dialogue on the next map. So do a few other "obvious" teams like Sanae/Kanako.
