This specific fight makes me very glad I'm using the team that I am.

The Touhou Wiki has all the details for this fight but basically this is a pure damage race with a few weird complications (like the bosses permanent buffs and debuffs and its weird defensive stats).

Now, because the Moriyas make up the core of my team, I luckily don't have to worry about the bosses defenses at all. While Suwako can't target any weaknesses and Sanae isn't much of a fighter to begin with, Kanako can conveniently target the bosses only two weak affinities (SPI and WND) AND, to add insult to injury, her SPI attack can also abuse the bosses vulnerability to HVY. With Sanae providing support and Suwako on debuff duty, winning is more about optimizing my damage and retrying until I get a good / lucky run (which I eventually did. Thank Moriya that the boss had Half Moon Slash. A turn where the boss used HMS is a turn where I didn't need to worry about Suwako successfully dodging an attack. That HMS would also activate Kanako's Desperation was just the cherry on top.)

In case you're here looking for a specific guide, I wouldn't recommend copying this strategy. Kanako can do big damage here because of all the synergies, special items and Greater Awakening boosts she has on her. You're not going to get the same results by just using the same level + equipment, and I wouldn't recommend spending a Jewel of Greater Awakening just to pass this fight either.

If you need a proper guide on this fight (one that specifically doesn't rely on Greater Awakening party setups) boy do I have a video for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lss_XbKTnDA
