Pretty much timed out this spellcard purely because Marisa just simply CANT seem to finish off this attack with the super strict timer it has...
But, I dont believe this is that simple. Marisa, if anything, should be the character with the MOST DPS. Why does this happen?...

First of all: Did I do something wrong here? Feel free to correct me if I am missing something, but:

1) I was right below Rika 90% of the time, doing as much damage as I possibly could. Sure, you could argue that I wasnt right below her the ENTIRE time, in fact I probably did around 3-4 waves incorrectly and got pushed a bit to the sides... but are you really supposed to dodge every SINGLE wave perfectly in the center just to capture this? I dont think so. Besides...

2) I even started the spellcard with a Red Border, which should mean additional damage added. Lets say this Red Border and those few waves I didnt dodge perfectly makes this "even"...

3) I died at the very last second. As if that would have really mattered though. Just take a look at 0:54. Look at all the HP the spell STILL has, it obviously would have been a Timeout regardless of if I died or not.

What the hell! I have been trying to understand the reason of this, but it truly makes no sense. Sanae has a far easier time with this spell (can kill it in around 8 seconds left AND her shot has more range as well) and she supposedly has LESS DPS than Marisa, soo... ?????

Even assuming you dodge all the waves perfectly in the center-or as close as you can get to it, AND get a Red Border at the very start of the spell (Which you shouldt be forced to ever get a Red Border just to capture something in the first place)... the timer just seems extremely tight. I am not saying it is impossible to capture this with her or anything, just noting its really odd how she struggles so much on this when Reimu and Sanae, both generally having less DPS than Marisa, somehow manage to kill it way faster.

Honestly, I dont think the time itself is the issue, the real issue is that- This is just my observations from what I have played so far- I believe that Marisa, for whatever reason, sometimes gets "temporally nerfed" on certain spellcards. I know it sounds crazy, but thats about the only way to explain why she does SO LOW DPS at certain points even though she is supposed to be the DPS shot (As is typical of Marisa). And indeed, for some stuff she does indeed to noticiably more damage than the rest...except when not, like this spellcard. I have seen this "Nerf" in action in some other attacks in the main game as well...more on this probably later.
