Another one of the easier 6-life clears. Eiki is a very well-balanced character. Good movement, good scope, good charge speed. Her C2 spawns a lot of pellets, so gaining score shouldn't be an issue. This can cause matches to escalate quickly, however.

Eiki has strong AI-killing potential through her boss attack, particularly the one that summons a large laser. The AI is unable to recognise the laser's warning indicator and may continue to stand right in its path, and is then unable to escape when the laser materialises.

Controlling your spell points to try and keep your boss on the AI's side of the screen is a valid strategy to maximise your chances of getting an early kill. All AI-killing strategies invariably require luck though and this is no different. If Eiki's boss won't use the laser attack there's nothing you can do about that, and the AI can often still avoid it anyway by being pushed out of the way by other bullets.

Stage 6: Eiki fights Marisa here. Marisa is one of the hardest characters to face so this stage is a pretty notable threat. Marisa's C2 and C3 along with her EX lasers heavily restrict your movement and make you easy prey for stray bullets. Letting enemies and spirits come closer to you is important here so you can cancel incoming pellets when you need to. You can always C2 to defend yourself instead, but you may run out of gauge very quickly if this is your only option when trapped.

Stage 7: Aya is Aya, not really a notable threat for Eiki. Usual streaming works fine her.

Stage 8: Early kills would be really nice here because of how dangerous Komachi is. Not much of a different approach from Reimu's route though.

Stage 9: The only unique final boss in this game, Eiki fights Reimu here, and Reimu is a much easier final boss than Eiki herself. While still threatening due to Reimu's extremely oppressive C2, the AI thankfully doesn't know how to spam it as efficiently as a human player so she's a lot less scary compared to in PvP matches. Between Eiki and Reimu, both of them generate a lot of pellets so you might enter a spell war if you don't let things slow down sometimes. And if Reimu has an excess of gauge, there is a chance she will spend them on several C2s in a row which is very dangerous. Also, you can actually C1 iframe through the yin-yangs if you really need to.
