One of the worst survival spellcards in the entire Touhou Project, with its unpredictable first phase and reflex-reliant micrododging during the last ten seconds.

If you manage to survive the first phase, which is already a luck-based mission, good luck on the second, which is more predictable and fixed, but nonetheless hard. But it doesn't help that the hitbox in EoSD is invisible compared to Perfect Cherry Blossom and afterwards, and even to this day I'm unsure of how it works or how I could even make all of these dodges.

To even capture this spellcard, I had to attempt it 19 times. Easy on paper, until you realize you have to go through the entirety of the Extra stage, which although generally easier than the rest of the Extra stages with difficulty spikes like Patchouli and the stage portion or Flandre's Taboo "Maze of Love" or Forbidden Barrage "Starbow Break", is still quite a large effort that'll leave your heart beating heavily. For the record, I've seen Flandre's final spellcard for only 13 times. Oh, and in the very beginning, I wanted to capture this spellcard so I brought Marisa instead of Reimu thanks to her more precise hitbox (on her sprite) but I ended up capturing it on a casual Reimu run instead, this run.
