Fujiwara no Mokou



Fujiwara no Mokou is an Extra Stage boss in Touhou Project and a well-known character among the fanbase, she's also a character in Gensokyo Arena. She's considerably the strongest character in the entire game, with her destructive moveset and powerful passive, she is able to outdo almost anyone in the entire game with ease, and no skill or unlock method is required either.

Abilities

 * Passive - Fujiwara no Mokou is immortal. Well, you can kill her but for the most part she's immortal. Each time she reaches 0.1 health she'll be knocked down, and be able to revive. This passive can be bypassed however if the following is performed; The player uses an instant kill when Mokou is (Or isn't) down, abilities like this are Yukari's last spell, Kokoro's last spell, and Koishi's last spell. The method used by most players however is to take Mokou down with a powerful attack. Whenever Mokou is knocked down she has a chance at death, this chance is increased when a powerful attack is used to damage her, characters who can usually pull this off are Okuu, Yukari, and Patchouli. (Reimu's gohei seems to also be useful when it comes to this.) The last resort is if Mokou doesn't revive herself and takes too long, she'll automatically die.
 * Phoenix Rebirth - Mokou summons a phoenix, that will fly towards the selected spot by the player. Once it comes in contact with the spot it'll explode. Anyone nearby will have their health quickly drained which can be lead to an instakill.
 * Blazing Bamboo tube - Mokou leaps back as bamboo-shaped explosives are spewed down unorganised. Anyone nearby them will likely suffer most of their health, which is good when aya users are about to start a combo. This is one of Mokou's stronger offences.
 * Self Destruct Talon - An overall weaker move, Fujiwara no Mokou will sent a row of claw-slashed shaped flames, as she leaps. The row deals minor damage (40) and rarely hits, but this ability is needed for Clear Sky Soaring Kick to take action.
 * Clear Sky Soaring Kick - Mokou leaps even higher, dashing down and kicking a massive flame into the ground. It's damage is nothing special as it's very moderate damage. But it throws enemies off and overtime can really drain their health. There is a bug where you can hold jump before you land, once you do, the player has a chance to clip through the ground and be launched significantly high. This is useful for escaping yukari mains or charging your resurrection.
 * Fujiyama Volcano - Mokou summons 6 fire danmaku orbs, a long distance from her until they all hit eachother, then creating a massive explosion. Anyone within the range will lose 40% of their health.
 * Resurrection - If Mokou is killed, she gets knocked down, where she is immune to almost every attack (except for instakilling moves). During this state, she can revive. And with quite literally a bang, as soon as she revives, anyone nearby will take huge damage (90) from a small explosion. This is likely to prevent camping. However, this does have a 60 second cooldown afterwards, so it’s recommended to play defensively or have a letty cola in hand when your at low health.

Reworked/Removed abilities

 * Phoenix Rebirth (old) - In the past this ability was an instant kill move that no one had any warning of whenever it came allowing for Mokous to hide and farm kills.

Pros

 * Decent mobility.
 * Immortality passive.
 * Explosive long ranged abilities to easily catch people off guard.
 * Vast moveset allowing for variety in playstyle.
 * S tier character.

Cons

 * people hate you even more for using her than they do if you use yukari
 * She is often outdone by characters like Yukari and Okuu who can shred her health, and Maid's knife greatly increases her chance of death.
 * If you focus on using one move only as her, and don't experiment, you'll probably die frequently as her.
