I'll be honest I only went into this fight wanting to spam EX attack as much as possible and torture the AI. I thought I'd reach the scripted end by exploding the bosses with explosion chains before the AI would die.
I love how Touhou 19 is simmered down to Orin vs Zanmu While Hisami is probably stalking Zanmu Then Reimu and Chiyari is breaking the game in the Background
Dayum this is quite an ingenious strategy. Not only do you force out the AI's bombs, you also deny it EX level up since the bombs drain the charge meter.
@@ethan2803 the main strategy is somewhat similar to the phantasmagoria games..... you want to do these more often: - charge up level 2s - chain up killing enemies as much as possible - only charge up level 3s/4s when your shield is down (i.e., when the yellow circle is gone and the gauge blinks)
Yeah but that spawns a ton of spirits whenever she does, and Orin can abuse that with either her skill or scope and obliterate bosses like at 2:00. My original plan was gonna be to speedrun her boss sections with that but for some reason the Zanmu AI just forgot it existed later on and I ended up having this clear. I think the reason why they kept opting for level 3 instead of level 2 is because it prioritized getting barrier back over cancelling out my spirits with level 2. There's an even better video on Bilibili where the Zanmu AI doesn't forget and ends up destroyed way harder than in my own video.
@@monstermadchenkoishi2403 Yea lol I saw that one, she just eats up all spirits like nothing lol. She's also great against the matriarchs for that reason too.
> I thought I'd reach the scripted end by exploding the bosses with explosion chains before the AI would die. Yeah so as you noticed, this is actually one of the best ways for Orin to win, though it's not exactly uh... consistent How long did it take you and on what difficulty haha
Think I got lucky and got this not even 5 attempts in. It was lunatic difficulty, the Zanmu AI never uses level 2 on any other difficulty not even on VS mode.
