[Touhou LostWord] EB vs A10 Kanako 172M scores

Okay, I'm finally done. Writing this this late probably means a lot of people will miss it, but better late than never.

This EB stage applies a lot of ATK debuffs. If you want a high score, you should try to max out as many Rank I buffs as possible. If you cannot max everything, leaving a few unmaxed is still manageable.
Area 1:
You want to use an ST LW nuker here. The best option would be MV Shion, followed by units like BP Remilia, L1 Reisen, L1 Hecatia, L1 Koishi, etc. Anyone with Moon, Metal, Water, or Fire should work. Keep in mind they have Light/Laser Guard for 3 turns and Heavy Guard for 2 turns.

You want to clear Wave 1 in 1 turn. For Wave 2, you can either one-turn the first gauge so their killer change is gone by turn 5, or take 2 turns and stack Rank II buffs like I did. The most annoying part of this stage is that each of the Aki sisters applies -5 levels of Yin/Yang ATK debuffs. If they are in Full Break, they cannot activate that, so maintaining the buffs required to max out your damage is easier. You should take out 1 of them before last turn so you only need to buff 5 level of attack to cap buff. You need a total of +25 Yin/Yang ATK to reach the max buff here.

Area 2:
You want to use an ST LW nuker here as well. The best option would be C8 Koishi, followed by other ST units like C8 Kokoro, L1 Seiran, BP Reimu, etc.

This stage also applies -10 levels of Yin/Yang ATK every turn. You should repeat the same approach as in Area 1: take out the enemy you do not want to nuke first, so on the final turn you only need +5 levels of Yin/Yang ATK to reach the required buff. I clear this area this way because I want to take advantage of Fall Alice’s Yin DEF Down II. Since I am using Koishi here, I only need +6 Yin ATK buffs, because she already has +4 Yin ATK pre-LW.
I have a meme max-score setup for Area 2 that only needs 2 levels of DEF Down II, Gengetsu resonance, Cf1 buff.

Area 3:
This is the most annoying stage to ever exist. It took me a few hours to figure out how to max every buff, and I still could not use another Rank II buff. I ended up having to use B3 Sagume and Mugetsu just to clear it.

You want to use element inflict, C5 Zanmu, L1 Nitori, or any non-element nuker. On top of having full elemental resistance, the enemies also apply -9 AGI, -9 Yin ATK, and -9 Yang ATK every turn if they are not in Full Break. Have fun dealing with all of that.
Momiji has 2 self-focus buffs, so you need a Focus Down card to avoid accidentally killing her in the process. You will need a total of +28 Yin/Yang ATK and around 15 levels of debuffs to fully max out all the Rank I buffs. You also need to use another unit’s LW to buff on the final turn.
I used F1 Marisa here so I need 2 to buff back that 9 atk down since she does not have any Yin ATK buffs on her LW, I needed to use two additional LWs to stack +9 Yin ATK and just hope it would not kill Momiji.

Area 4:
You want to use an ST LW nuker on the fairy, or you can use ALL-target LWs to hit all of them at once. The best options would be C3 Sagume, C5 Kaguya, C3 Yuyuko, or an Element Inflictor paired with a strong nuker.

The tricky part when using an ALL LW strategy is getting Sanae to her last gauge by Turn 4, so you can use one turn to set up debuffs. You should use someone with strong ST Earth, Metal, or Water damage to make this consistent. This stage also applies -5 Yin/Yang ATK every turn and inflicts Paralyze, so if your frontline is not immune to paralysis, there will be a lot of RNG involved.

For my A4 clear, I literally recorded the highest damage Chimata has ever done. The average should be around 150M, but somehow she reached 175M this time, and I have no idea why.

Area 5:
You want to use ALL LW nukes here. Any unit that can hit at least two out of the three weak elements will work well, such as L80 Kokoro, C3 Sakuya, or CZ1 Marisa. Keep in mind that the enemies have Light and Liquid Guard for 3 turns. A Focus Down story card is helpful to increase damage output.

The most annoying part of this area is Suwako — she is the main problem. She has no barrier, gains +6 Yin DEF and +7 Yang DEF every gauge, so you are forced to deal with constant DEF stacking. On top of that, she debuffs your team for -6 Crit ATK, -7 Yin ATK, and -8 Yang ATK every turn, making it difficult to maintain proper damage. Getting to her last gauge consistently is the true challenge here.

Suwako also applies All RES Down with her Spell Card, so you want to push her to the final gauge within the first 2 turns.

Assuming you bring your Yang ATK nuker out on turn 2, like in my video, you will need a total of +42 Yang ATK and +34 Crit ATK to reach the required buff cap.
