I have no regrets about cheesing this fight, because holy crap is Abyssal Yukari annoying. She's not even the first boss with Majesty AND Black Universe in her arsenal (we fought Abyssal Yuyuko a few floors earlier) yet whenever I fight Abyssal Yukari, she seems to fight as if Black Universe is the only move in her arsenal.

Unfortunately, I don't have much commentary for this fight. My luck with this boss was horrid, but you might not be so unlucky. I do have some notes:

-Black Universe is really stupid in this fight. It's an obnoxious attack to begin with but the speed of the ATB at this level + the attack's low delay (6600?!) + Yukari's much higher SPD + her stronger self-buff via Perpetual Motion Device = Yukari using Black Universe and then killing her victim before any of your characters get a turn. I think SPD buffers (like Sakuya and Aya), Instant Attackers (Chen, Momiji and Mystia) and fast Switchers (like Rinnosuke and Awakened Keine) will be very important for this fight.

I also didn't know it at the time, but Reimu and Maribel might be intended for this fight. Reimu with Awakening has Fantasy Seal -Blink-, a passive that speeds up the front row more and more so long as Reimu stays on the frontlines. Maribel, on the other hand, has a skill that lets her treat enemy buffs like they were debuffs and while it'd be good against any boss with Majesty, it might be very good against Yukari's powered up buffs

Here are some other tips:

-Because of Black Universe, you might want to remove First Aid from your tankier characters. Yes, you do lose out on a lot of HP, but 1) Black Universe will reduce your tanks to 1 HP anyway and 2) if you don't bring First Aid, they'll at least be able to recover HP normally while in the back.

-Buff removers are sooo important for this fight. If I were to redo this fight, I would honestly bring Tenshi along too since her buff removal chance is better than even Miko (her passives allow her to remove buffs with any attack she uses, though it's still best to rely on her Sword of Hisou skill)

-I did a few runs where I nuked Abyssal Yukari on Turn 1 (instead of waiting for the Hakkero Charge Mode passive to build up) and she survived a 465M hit from Master Spark. Meaning Yukari has somewhere upwards of 465M HP. The safe bet is Yukari having around 500M HP.

Anyway, it seems like nuking Yukari out of existence is becoming a Labyrinth of Touhou tradition (for me). I did the same thing with the mandatory Yukari fight in Labyrinth of Touhou 1, I did it again in Labyrinth of Touhou: Rebirth (with both Marisa AND Mima) and I honestly expect to nuke Yukari with Master Spark in Labyrinth of Touhou 3
