Next on the list, is the second protagonist of Touhou Fantasy, Marisa Kirisame. Marisa falls under the Thief class while still maintaining some mage-like qualities, and focuses heavily on Speed and Magic, but also boasts some pretty good Attack. Marisa's generally better than Reimu in every stat BUT HP, and can generally hit a lot harder as well, but suffers a bit from lower accuracy on several of her attacks, particularly her sparks in general.


COMBAT ABILITIES:

Marisa comes with 13 unique skills. Her Master Spark can be be upgraded into 2 different skills only once, meaning the other version is forever lost for now. Marisa starts with 3 of her skills, being Magic Missile, Illusion Laser, and Master Spark.

Magic Missile: Deals non-elemental Magic damage to one enemy.
Illusion Laser: Deals Thunder-elemental damage to one enemy. 80% accuracy and ignores Defense.
Narrow Spark: Deals non-elemental Magic damage to one enemy. 85% accuracy and ignores Defense.
Meteonic Debris: Deals non-elemental Magic damage to all enemies.
Stardust Reverie: Deals non-elemental physical damage to one enemy.
Master Spark: Deals Thunder-elemental damage to one enemy. 75% accuracy and ignores Defense, and is Marisa's strongest attack. Can be upgraded to either Dragon Meteor or Final Spark.
Orreries Sun: Increases various elemental resistances per level to one ally.
Orrery's Universe: Chance to increase Magic resistance per level.
Devildom Torch: Can dispel various buffs per level and inflict extremely minor Magic damage to one enemy.
Grand Stardust: Chance to reduce Magic resistance to one enemy.
Luminous Strike: Reduces one enemy's MP.
Green Spread: Inflicts Confusion to one enemy.
Harvest Master Spark: Inflicts massive Thunder-elemental damage to one enemy. Marisa's ultimate move.


Marisa comes packing with high-powered skills that can deal really good damage at decent MP costs, but they're hampered by accuracy rates. Master Spark is by far and away her most powerful move, but due to the accuracy modifier and the MP costs, it's never fully practical to use. Marisa's also one of few characters capable of reducing the enemy's MP, which doesn't matter right now, but may in the future. The main fault with Marisa's skillset is if she's inflicted with Silence and has no way to recover from it or is constantly inflicted with it, she only has Stardust Reverie to rely on.



SECONDARY COMMAND:

Steal: Attempts to steal an item from one enemy.

UPGRADES:
Mug (Steal Level 2): Attempts to steal an item from one enemy and damages enemy with a regular attack.
Bandit: Doubles Steal% rate.
Master Thief: Upgrades stealable items by one tier. For instance, P become Lapis, 1-Up Piece becomes 1-Up, etc.


Marisa's main focus is stealing various items whenever she's not attacking. While the default Steal command is standard, the upgrades are all there to help maximize the usage of the command. Bandit makes it easier to get whatever item the enemy has without wasting too many turns, Master Thief makes some items far more valuable to try and get, and Mug makes it less of a waste to try to steal by making up with damaging the enemy. It is possible to combine all three of the upgrades as well, making it far easier to get better items as well as damaging the enemy in the process.


BATTLE PASSIVE:

Auto-Collect: 5% chance each turn in battle for Marisa to find a random generic item or money. Item/money depends on encounter fought. Will not occur if Marisa is inflicted with Death, Paralyze, Sleep, Venom, Petrify, Stop, Freeze, Confusion, or Berserk.


Marisa comes with this handy passive, and though it may not activate very often, getting a free item or some yen in the middle of a fight can never hurt, especially if it turns out to be a halfway decent item. There may be an upgrade to make the chances of this happening to 10% later.



OVERWORLD ABILITY:

Kleptomania: If in the party when opening a chest, 50% chance to obtain extra items. Items obtained depends on the difficulty mode of the story that the dungeon is in.


Marisa is also one of the few characters to come with an overworld ability, which makes it easier to stock up on specific items if lady luck favors the player. Items are generally what could be bought in stores, won, or stolen from enemies, and can also include various items such as crafting items. Just another way to get more items without having to try very hard.



Marisa is built in with 80% resistance to both Slow and MP Sap, making it easier to keep her on the offensive at all times without having to worry about losing time or MP. Marisa also comes with the handy innate 50% Magic resistance as well, so any Magic attack thrown at her will only deal half damage. Of course, this also applies to healing skills, so do keep this in mind! In addition, Marisa cannot equip both a shield and a weapon at the same time, so she loses out on some defensive options that many of the other party members have access to.


Despite all of the flaws that Marisa has, she stays as a pretty solid character throughout the entire game thus far, and ranks as one of the better, more constant damage dealers available to the player from the get-go. If you need damage, pack Marisa into the party! Ranked at A currently.



Future Ideas:
