Touhou 14 東方輝針城 ～ Double Dealing Character - Perfect Stage 5 Lunatic (NMNB)

Okay stage 5 time.
The gimmick of this stage seems to be to annoy the player as much as possible, as it throws a lot of unconventional patterns and gimmicks at you that can really throw you for a loop as you are usually not that familiar with dealing with them.
Lots and lots of back attacks, usually with horrible bullet types, forced no vertical and messing with your controls. But of course, overcoming these things is what makes it fun.
ReimuA is extremely useful for the stage as she can hit everything on the screen with her homing boomerang mop. You can use the focus button to launch your mop at the closest enemies and it's awesome. Additionally, keeping the mop inside bosses does a huge amount of damage, pretty much SakuyaA levels. However, the mop quickly goes out of the bosses over time so you have to renew it by going up close and throwing it inside again.
You want to speedkill the orb enemies as fast as possible as they can make your life quite miserable if you let them live too long.
It took me an embarrassing amount of time to "get" the midboss card. After the criss-cross below the boss you pretty much want to dive to the bottom and move up with the bullets. It used to end 90% of my runs but I seem to capture it every time now.
The boss's first card reverses your left and right movement and it is in my opinion the hardest, only because of how dense it is. It also has some seriously nasty RNG, the pattern in this run is probably the easiest pattern I've ever had on it. Be extremely careful of the diagonal moving bullets as they can really mess you up.
The second card reverses your up and down movement. I find it slightly easier than the first because it's less dense. It gets a lot easier if you're close to the bottom (top?). The bullets coming from below aren't that threatening as they're really slow.
Third card has nasty RNG again. Too many diagonal arrows can really mess you up.
The Final card is actually her easiest spell in the end. The trick is to move somewhat close to her, this way the red waves aren't as wide and you can easily stream the aimed blue bullets. When upside-down, dash through the blue bullet wave when it has the big opening to restream. Make sure to pick the right red lane as to not get walled.
I'm late. I blame Corpse Party. Also the million 1MNB runs.
(I know it's a Gohei.)

I just noticed when Seija flipped the screen upside down... Reimu sure looks like an upside down pokeball when focused.

[@embeboso8329]

oh dang she does

[@cocopuffs88]

Lmao

[@wrswest4179]

I'm starting to think the last card being the easiest may be intentional: Seija reversed the difficulty curve, while having her final card still be her most cinematic and intimidating.

[@lolkringo7658]

One other thing: Stage 5 or second to last stage bosses are servants for a stage boss in addition to using gimmicks. In most cases, stage 5 bosses are servants of stage 6 except Orin Kaenbyou, who is a servant of stage 4 not 6, and Seija Kijin (this boss) who, although makes tea for stage 6 boss and lives in the residence belonging to stage 6, ultimately uses the stage 6 boss for her own ends.

[@kgamejeidaszueras3720]

the stage 5 boss of touhou 9 isn't servant of stage 6 boss (sorry , i'm not from america)

[@lolkringo7658]

@ adam anggrono: Second to last stage Fun fact : (Komachi is stage 8 not stage 5, second to last) TH 6 : ability to stop time TH 7 : bullet time TH 8 : phasing bullets TH 9 : so much coin bullets TH 10 : stars TH 11 : zombie fairy and spirit summoning TH 12 : Curvy lasers TH 13 : Boats with arrow hit TH 14 : Flipping everything TH 15: (Coming soon) Also stage 2 has gimmicks too: TH 6 : Bullet freeze TH 7 : Screen Shake TH 8 : Black screen of death TH 9 : (None, coz fights of old bosses) TH 10 : Bullets that shoot other bullets TH 11 : Homing bullets TH 12 : Umbrellas TH 13 : Reflect Bullets TH 14 : Head separation and cloning TH 15: Explodo bullets Also, TH 12 is the most gimmicky game ever. It's gimmicky from stage 1 through to stage 6 and lunatic: Stage 1: Defensive diamond Stage 2: Umbrellas Stage 3: Unzan's fists Stage 4: Literal raindrop dodging and Those Anchors! Stage 5: Curvy Lasers Stage 6: Curvy lasers that come from the sides Lunatic: UFO spam TH 14 has gimmicks from 3 to 4 and also Lunatic in addition to 2 and 5: Stage 3: Healing Stage 4: Repeated summoning of stage 3 boss Lunatic: Morphing bullets But I agree that in general the most annoying gimmicks are stages 2 and 5.

obviously because he needs to speed up and slows down dodging them carefully at different times, no extra damage.

御幣ぽちって使用か。あとダメージが咲夜Aみたい…ダメージ計算をMefidexに求めましたがドラゴンズクラウンと共に忙しい。それにしても、霊夢Aと咲夜Aが圧倒的に強い。もちろん咲夜A最高。武器の火力が圧倒的で、危険なザコ敵をあっという間に蒸発させてくれるのが助かる。だがLunaticで霊夢Aを使うと途中で強制終了します。なのでZUNには早めにパッチを作って欲しいところ、バランスがない。
