* ConfusionFu: [[VideoGame/TouhouChireidenSubterraneanAnimism Koishi]] is a bizarre pick for a popularity contest, given that she [[EmptyShell lacks a conscious mind]] and [[PerceptionFilter has so little presence that people can forget she exists while looking at her]], and these traits translate into equally bizarre gameplay. She prances around the stage teleporting and turning invisible, ''sneezes'' at enemies, and most of her attacks aren't used directly but place a condition on the opponent which will cause Koishi to attack them if met. Amusingly, in early builds Koishi could even confuse the ''engine'', with some of her attacks causing the game to crash.
* {{Cooldown}}:
** Many of Ichirin's attacks cause her to lose access to [[GuardianEntity Unzan]] for a short time, reducing her range and power.
** After Koishi uses one of her sneeze attacks, her next attempt to sneeze will instead have her [[FightingClown recharge by catching her nose]].
* CriticalStatusBuff: Ichirin has a "rage meter" which fills up as she takes damage. When filled she literally TurnsRed and her attacks become significantly more powerful.

* ManaMeter: Nitori's projectiles and special attacks draw on a non-regenerating energy meter. When the meter is empty, they either become much weaker or whiff entirely.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter:
** Byakuren [[ChargedAttack must input her specials twice before use]], with some attacks granting a StatusBuff while the charge is held.
** Many of Koishi's attacks work like traps that activate under certain conditions.
** Futo's standard attacks set destructible plates on the field, which are used to direct or power up her specials. When the number of plates broken reaches 20, 40, 60 or 80 they change colour, granting Futo various {{Status Buff}}s.
** Mamizou has mechanics similar to ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' - she begins with a stock of three leaves which she uses to transform and summon her {{tanuki}} allies, and loses a leaf each time one of these attacks is interrupted.
** Kokoro has a StanceSystem which lets her change the faith she has equipped, modifying her attacks as appropriate. She can also inflict these changes on her opponent.

Miko also has a secondary popularity mechanic which can cause her purple cape to turn blue (weakening her) or red (making her more powerful).
* RuleOfThree: Marisa's unique mechanic, "Three-Tiered Embellishment Magic", causes her to build up one Star Charge each time she uses a special or her standard laser. When she has three charges, her next one of these attacks gains enhanced properties.
