Tension correction table

The pattern of the tension meter is dependent on the current BGM soundtrack. Generally the chorus sections correspond with high-tension or climax tension, and instrumental interstitials tend to correspond to low tension.

Spin Downlimit

(since ver 1.51)

Characters that get hit by multiple attacks that add downlimit values, can cause the character to be pushed back very far away at an invincible state to recover. The downlimit is 100.00.

Spirit Orb system

Overview

The spirit orb system was introduced with the release of version 1.50 and Touhou Sky Arena -Kurenai-. This system allows you to set 3 orbs, each orb represents the area affected ( red = offence ; blue = movement ; yellow = defence ). Each orb can be acquired by clearing each characters arcade mode, clear fixed amount at the survival mode and complete the sky adventure mode ( added with the Matsuri patch 1.50).
