About
"O-Overdrive! O-O-Overdrive!"

- From, Overdrive. An IOSYS remix

Reisen is the stage 5 Boss of touhou 8 Imperishable Night (IN), and a playable character in Gensokyo arena. She has a variety of ranged moves and is able to make clones to defend herself.

Abilities
Reisen has a set of 5 moves.


 * Udongun - The player shoots 5 long range bullets in front, each dealing moderate damage for each hit. Has a short cooldown, useful after X-Wave to trap them.
 * Discarder - The player shoots a small projectile that goes at fast speeds, anyone hit by it will deal 80 damage and cause them to be slowed down for 5 seconds, being vulnerable to the Udongun bullets. The hitbox shrinks the further it goes, requiring good timing and accuracy.
 * Illusion seeker - The player instantly becomes invisible with a temporary speed boost for 5 seconds, while creating a clone that targets the nearest player, shooting 5 bullets at them.
 * X-Wave - The player's eyes become red breifly until they unleash 2 clones that each shoot 5 bullets at the nearest player. Best used if Discarder hits. Can kill the other players if half of the bullets hit.
 * Lunatic Blast - The player stands still with their eyes become red. After 1 second they shoot a small, long ranged laser that Constantly deals huge damage and can take their health to 0 if they stay inside for too long. Can be used as a finisher rather then using it immediately. A great burst tool if your under too much pressure.

Terminology:
1 - Move 1.

2 - Move 2, So on so forth.

Invis - Invisibilty.

DBF - Debuff.

WASD - Self explanatory.

(...) - Optional Input

Bread & Butter Combos:
4 + 1 + S or D - Enemies can only dodge bullets from 1, 3 or 4 by moving left or right so this put lots of pressure on the enemy while moving in their direction

4 + 5 - Useful in 2v2s where you'll need to multitask. This leaves you open for attacks though.4

4 + 3 (+ 2) - Godly combo, this can take lots of stress off you and is great for unsuspecting players.

Zero to Death Combos:
1 +2 or 2+1 - This combo is rage inducing and it's Reisen's best tool.

2 + 5 - Reisen's worst combo since it completely wastes 5's firepower. Only useful if 1 is still in cooldown phase.

4 + 1 - When your opponent is left open and can be easily killed, this combo is a good Plan B if you are waiting for 2 to finish cooldown.

The Lunatic Glitch
If you do the 4 + 3 combo in an extremely tight timeframe, you can turn your clones summoned from 4 invisible. This is an absoloute game changer and you don't even have to worry about choppy movement from the clones. The glitch may possbly increase the clone's speed since 3 gives a slight speed boost.

Common Misconceptions
Myth - Udongun can instakill at full health

Truth - Udongun DOESN'T instakill, when all 5 bullets hit the opponent at full health, a small ammount of HP is left

Myth - Clones are unreliable, glitchy and useless

Truth - Reisen's clones are excellent in stressing out the enemy and tricking them, the move cooldown for summoning these clones isn't long either.

Pros & Cons
Pros:

Discarder is the best tool for countering attacks if it is followed up by Udongun.

X-Wave and Illusion Seeker are great for catching enemies that can turn invisible like Reisen and Koishi.

4 + 3 is a combo that is great for stressing out enemies. Especialy with a Discarder follow-up behind the enemy when they least expect it.

In 2v2s, Discarder is a great tool to use. Especially if your teammate was caught by Lend Me Your Beautiful Legs or other similiar attacks.

Clones can attack two people at once

Clones can be used as meatshields.

Cons:

Clones may be unreliable in 2v2s or in areas with large people as your attacks will most likely backfire.

Udongun bullets are easy to outrun.

Lunatic Blast is budget Master Spark and doesn't have much range

Clones can easily be identified due to their choppy movement. To add onto this, clones don't have the same animation pack as you, they use the defualt R15 animations instead which is also a big giveaway.

Your clones can be harmed by your Discarder making the skill less accurate when you have clones activated.

If you have glasses or other face accesories similiar to that (masks don't count) then those accesories won't turn invisible so anyone with a keen eye for detail may easily be able to find you. The same goes for Koishi.
