-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a rich lineup of characters from The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil to Undefined Fantastic Object.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gensoukyo is in an uproar!! That little girl with yellow hair and black-and-white clothes is out borrowing books everywhere again. Alice can no longer stand Marisa's "book-borrowing" behavior and has called on everyone in Gensoukyo to launch attack operation against Marisa!
--------------------The chaotic battle to demand books------------------------
To recapture the books that Marisa has taken away, we need to break through the gate of Marisa's house. The friends of Gensoukyo have gathered, but Marisa's house is heavily fortified, and we are short of hands. Start making Shanghai dolls at Alice's place and transform them into characteristic dolls of different characters. Each person's different doll has its own unique attack methods and special skills.
Be sure to arrange friends to collect the scattered books and bring them back to the loot pile to earn points. Only by getting as many points as possible can we upgrade the dolls and recruit more friends of Gensoukyo to join the battle.
Marisa won't just sit back and do nothing; she will do her best to stop us. Make good use of the resources at hand to combine a more efficient lineup to take back the books!

Unite Gensoukyo's friends----------------------------
When you feel that the battle is facing strong resistance,don't fight head-on. Temporarily retreating and re-formulating the battle plan may help in the next battle.
Sometimes, the slow progress of the battle may also be due to improper resource allocation. In the new battle, you can try to allocate resources to more efficient characters.
