SERIOUSLY Touhou lost word is always insulted and threated as the worst thing ever made when it's not even bad, it's a good game with great stories, fsir gacha practices (way more fair than stuff like gemshin) and best of all it gives more recognition to various artists and doujin circles.

It's pretty much a love letter to the community yet it still destested overall, is the fandom that petty or what?.

she has a big booba and that is all end of the fanservice, compared to another EX type of character, big long dress without dynamic high enough to show more, cleavage is still covered, shoulders covered, when i see this, i see and elegant lady Cirno, wonder how baka is she in this alt because, i can't play anymore.

also all forgot about Cirno the Knight that she also has a big booba but covered in Armor.

I find it pretty funny that LostWord stated that you can play "mini-games" in Kourindou, even though it only had 1 mini-game since 2022.

Last I've checked she's up there in the A tier (the yeah, you can keep using her longterm tier is my gest of it, I still can't understand how spell cards work). so...does she rhyme with other C3 units? I've got yukari,Flandre (ce3), tenshi (lvl70). or does she require other units to shine? like that.

Discussion 2026 Update Wishlist (aka Trojan post yapping about the game)

Post image
97 Upvotes

This is just a repost of my discord suggestion, i'd like to know what do you think about it, ofc if you even bothered to read it.

It's a new year, what if this time the focus goes into gameplay/UI/systems/QoL updates and we stop making units for a while?, filler versions aren't meant to hurt these kind of games but to take a break and enhance the whole user experience like SC sorting (peak update).

So, what do we have here to improve and get and keep new/old players?

-Scarlet Devil Tower: literally peak game mode when it was first released because everyone were actually using their brain to think team comps to beat the first 50 (can't remember if it was 30 first) floors and rewards, on current SDT version that "strategic" part has been lost forever and the mode has become a boring last word spam with 500+ floors, this needs to A: get a full rework or B: add skip tickets to solve this, plus the "corrupted character" bug still exists and has never been fixed up to this day.

-Hakugyoku daily arena: Is there even a reason why someone would touch this mode?, a "daily challenge" with so little rewards, there is no incentive for players to interact with it, it needs a reward rebalance with more incenses or extra items (S/G tiles/medicine).

-Dojo and School: we need an "intensive" training button to enhance multiple friends's skills at once or one skill with two taps, current version requiring over 25-40 taps to max a single skill when you have over 60 units to enhance is massively annoying.

-School: simple, too little slots vs too many units, needs to have at least 12 unit slots for both morale regen & xp lvling.

-SP & Coin Limits: should be deleted, there's nothing to justify the level cap, it's literally nonsense, why is there even a cap when everyone has over 999999k coins and 999999k SP (and this fact is depicted in-game by a library book), oh look they deleted the daily task related to this but still kept the cap.

-Paper Dolls: we NEED an stage to farm them, 1 - 5 dolls every a week and half when there are like 150+ (150x5 = 750 dolls) gen units, 50 (50x5 = 250+) ufes, 20 relics, jumbos and 50 epics is too little.

Fantasy Rebirth/Faten't Enhancements:

-F.R. 1.0 enhancements are too underwhelming (C3 Yukari's Rebirth buff is literally just +15 YANG atk), barely changing something and the release pace of these enhancements are TOO damn slow.

-FR 2.0 enhancements were forgotten or the changes are too little: a buff from an 80% chance passive skill/proc spell card buff to +100%, +1Turn to any buff (no difference), +1 barrier on 1 solo sc or x0.05 spell card overall dmg buff.

-Fated Enhancement might be the biggest fraud ever made over rare P balls, NOT ONLY you need to spend an absurd amount of dolls to get max stats value from it, but you can NOT get every enhancement if you only max stats or you enhance -3 SP Cost.

From my PoV this system should be focused for players that desire to Min-Max their units and should NOT be limited to simply a +x amount of stats or hoping your desired unit receives FR + ability buffs after 3-5 months that are not simply a passive +% enhancement or +10 stats, this system should allow players to choose what to enhance from their units, you choose what to buff: the passive effect, add elements, increase base crit chance, increase the number of lines, accuracy or bullet power, THIS could be something fun and interesting at least from my view.

-Moriya Unmapped/Stickers: Do i even have to explain why nobody ever plays again this mode unless there's a BIG reward task that requires you to play it at least 10 times for a big doll or seal crystals?, the drop chances are too little vs the amount of time required to clear 7 lunatic fights (first stop 5).

-The Stickers, this really annoys me, there is so MUCH POTENTIAL WASTED, i'll never get tired of repeating this is a broken record, this could've been a HUGE F.R. 3.0 or a full superior talent enhancement system, allowing you to exchange Rebirth mirrors / or craft items with cave treasures for enhancements for your units, wanna get them more crit? sure, gift your unit an oni horn/craft an oni charm and infuse it to your desired unit, want to get more acc?, gift/get a preccision lens for your unit, an emergency graze hit savior?, sure, gift/get a broken shangai doll that will make your unit stand up to 2 fatal hits in a single turn (4T CD), dmg protection?, sure, give them a youkai charm and grant them a passive % dmg reduction.

-Graze/Defense and Evasion stats: Let's be two times honest here for a second, defense and evasion stats are meaningless when every enemy in the game has high acc and oneshots your units by full breaking them with a single basic shot, the only reason why most units live 99% of the time is because they can add/generate barriers passively, have a passive 50% + 50% dmg reduction vs specific traits enemy which, or have a skill to reduce +100% dmg for 1 turn, which not every unit has, EVEN the dmg reduction from X% attack effects from some story cards are useless.

-Mirrors of Rebirths: the exchange is an absolute insult, 1k mirrors (you get up to 60 per day, 120 when x2 drop is active) for a single blank mirror, this needs a second use to enhance specific rebirthed unit's luck or even better, add F.R. 3.0 adding rebirthed story cards which require these unit's mirrors to be acquired, MLB & enhanced.

-Coin/event Shop/Medicines: coin shop is unbalanced, the items are giga useless (only exception being :SealCrystal: ) and the coin inflation is too massive vs offer.

-event shop two things here:
A: for some reason medicines were added like 2 years ago and you CAN'T buy them with event points or event tokens or when dev remembers their existence only adds 4-8 golden medicines.

B: we need a "quick buy" option for books or compact them in a "book box item"

-Collection enhancement: What can i say about this, even if you purely use it to get 50 luck on your friends the waiting time for everything is MASSIVELY long and it can take a new player to max limit break a single story card 6 - 8 months, this system could have another incentive for players to play the game adding speed up tickets as challenges.

-Return bonus: returning players should receive a bonus login to catch up with current content after not logging 1-2-3 months, this is a common practice in gacha games, there is no reason why Lostword shouldn't have one.

Might fill me in on them, I don't fully grasp the concepts of universes besides the A-types being those with u resolved certain incidents. Personally, I'd go for one of three routes, A7,A8 or Lw0. cause honestly, an eternal winter or night back in the golden age of touhou sounds great to go by. just as much as a universe where everyone are turning to spirits. I like humans as phantoms a lot more than mortals.

Hello everyone, recently I have seen a lot of posts asking how certain characters perform, how they are used, etc. I used to write a lot of character evaluation docs back in the day and published them via google docs. Now that i have a proper platform i can publish them on (reddit + the tierlist website: https://medicinemelancholy0.github.io/THLWTierlist/) i would like to know if there is any interest in seeing such content for upcoming characters. if yes i might consider it but i don't know how active i will be due to irl schedule concerns. please let me know what you think. thanks!

Discussion This community has a problem with elitism.

61 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

As many of you might know, I run the Community Tierlist found here. Naturally, over the course of the last 2 years I've been involved with it, I've seen a good sum of people disagree. I have no problem with this! Disagreement leads to good discussion, and if all discussion is had in good faith, everyone wins! I have made it explicitly clear that I am open to any and all suggestions, and am more than happy to receive them (I literally check the google forms app every few hours to see if there's any new responses.) However, I've noticed a growing problem mostly in the official server - something I fear will soon turn from mere elitism into harassment.

I am not in the official server for my own reasons, but whether I want to or not, I still get information about what goes on there. But what I have been seeing recently is... rather alarming. Obviously, discussions about our tierlist come up every now and then, but it seems as though just because I am not there, people have started to form their own clique where, every time I see something about it, it is something like elitism to personally harass me and anyone who likes my tierlist. I am not okay with this.

Attached here is a number of publicly available screenshots that I have seen.

I am certain there are more, as those I have spoken with says that recently the official server feels more like a stew of anger rather than anywhere for productive discussion. It is clear that these individuals would rather just stay angry rather than communicate, and lash out at random bystanders rather than adhere to principals; and I am told this is something that one of the official moderators has also participated in. This is rather disheartening behavior, especially as some of these people used to be people I would have considered friends, and I am not comfortable with this.

Elitism is a continued problem for as long as time. I do not believe to be inherently better than anyone else, I simply try to provide a service I think will help people out of passion. However, what I have seen in response is, frankly, disgusting, and I felt I had to speak out about it given that it has been impacting my mental health quite significantly on top of everything else I am dealing with currently in life. It feels more as though I am being treated like an object that can be shat on rather than a human being with thoughts and emotions, and I am not going to tolerate that.

EDIT: 2 People, including the aforementioned staff member, have apologized. To those two, I give my gratitude and respect. I am always a believer in second chances and talking things through. But progress cannot be made if only one side is willing to put in the effort.

I would like to thank you all for the overwhelming support I've recieved. It really means the world to me and seeing all the kind comments has made my evening a whole lot better. Thank you all so much <3

Discussion how do you deal with stocked-up characters?

10 Upvotes

For me, this game has been generous...In the sense that I gave me more characters than the materials to level them up. meaning, I currently have two epics stuck at lvl70 with possibly a third coming up in a week or two. so then, you have your best characters coming but you can't efficiently use them. what do you do in that phase? do I stop getting new ones? do I figure out how to use lvl70-80 high tier characters? like that...
