Welcome back to Gensokyo ladies! After our troublesome journey into the moon, we're back to Gensokyo but we need to have a little game with Reimu. These 2 stages aren't super long really, but what took me so long was being in the after stage menu for 12 minutes, which really unnecessary and I do apologize for that. I just wanted to be sure so I don't need to move a lot of equipment in future stages.

Interlude is a special mission regarding about how the smaller fairies / characters got scared of Reimu after she went absolutely ham on Yorihime on the moon. On this stage, it's an attempt to show that she's still approachable and not to be scared off. This stage forces very specific deploys and you don't even get to know who they are even if you check the deployment menu. These characters are: Cirno, Daiyousei, Mystia, Kurumi, Wriggle, Rumia, Star, Luna and Sunny. You could basically equip them some items in advance if you're not confident with them like I did, but the stage isn't particularly hard as long you're careful against her and the mobs. The small enemy mobs here more of a power and level provider for your units, especially if you don't use them often. Reimu will NEVER move on her location so take this as an opportunity to defeat all the small mobs and get close to her. Reimu herself isn't much of a threat outside her noticeable damage value, which can easily swat out Daiyousei or Kurumi, so always be evasive with them with focus mode or flash!
Reimu has 1 spellcard here which basically gives her immense evasion, 200% more evasion in Normal+. Realistically, you will never hit her unless you use strike or Kurumi's Black Sabbath with her intuition (since she'll miss by default), but she doesn't have much health to tank a lot of hits. Wriggle, Cirno and the Three Fairies of Light combo unit will make short work of it, faster if you even invested support attack into any of those 3.

Stage 50 is now a much more longer stage than the interlude, pretty much the same length as more average stages in the game. Here, several spirit mobs will spawn from various locations on Hakurei Shrine and you need to defeat all of them, being the EX accomplishing it within 5 turns. On the start of the stage you'll also be accompanied by Eirin, Kaguya and Tewi for this stage, although they can pretty much not do anything outside of supporting. Eirin is a long-range attacker that deals OK damage at best, and has a unique generic skill that gives her bonus accuracy and crit rate. She can also heal and resupply like Daiyousei and Koakuma, but she can only do the resupply part if she hasn't move. Kaguya is a very good support unit in terms of providing buff but requires quite an amount of investment, meanwhile Tewi is--- a unit for sure. She's more on point grinding with her abilities but I wouldn't say she's worth a slot :/ .Like I said, not really a very hard stage but the enemy being spread out can be quite a nuisance. Spread your units for all sides that can reliably hit and survive from the spirit attacks, while being supported by other units like Dai. The red spirits are a lot tankier, and after a while, more spirits spawn from the pond behind Hakurei Shrine so be sure to make a quick work for anything on the north for EX! You'll be joined by Letty after they spawned so she can help in thinning the ones on the north, but I wouldn't say she can handle it all alone, she can damage for sure but not defeat all of the one that spawns. Oh also, she has Cirno's gift of +10 power, how sweet of her.
