Fujiwara no Mokou/RicePigeon's second version

''When you're immortal, life doesn't really mean that much anymore, seeing as you can't die. Might as well waste it, right? That should be this Mokou's thought process in a nutshell; expend Mokou's life to power up her attacks, only to gain it back later. Even if you do run out of life, Phoenix Rebirth allows Mokou a second lease on life in order to go out ablaze... literally.''

Gameplay


Mokou is technically a six-button character, but plays like a standard three-button character, using the extra buttons for shortcut;, when used combined with or  acts as a shortcut for the character's   and   dash commands. is used as a shortcut for +, while is used as a shortcut for, used in the Level 3 Hypers.

Borrowed from Urban Legend in Limbo, each of Mokou's specials, with a few exceptions, will drain Mokou's life until Mokou is left with only 1 Life. Doing so will fill up a secondary Life meter, which displays how much life Mokou is able to recover from her Special. The more life Mokou has to recover, the bigger and more powerful this attack becomes.

At the beginning of the match, Mokou must select from one of two Level 3 Hypers, as both cannot be used during the same match. "Immortality's Reckless Sacrifice" is a powerful full-screen projectile attack where Mokou selfdestructs, consuming all of her remaining life and engulfing everything in flames until Mokou reappears. Once Mokou reappears, Mokou will regain any life lost during this time, as well as any recoverable life that Mokou has not yet recovered. "Phoenix Rebirth" is a passive Hyper that activates the moment Mokou would be KOed by an attack, instantly restoring Mokou's life to full regardless of how much recoverable life Mokou has. Afterward, Mokou sprouts firey wings and all of her deal additional damage. As a tradeoff, Mokou's life will now continuously deplete itself until it reaches 1, and "Phoenix Rebirth" can only activate once per round, even if Mokou has enough meter to activate the move again. Additionally, selecting "Phoenix Rebirth" as Mokou's Level 3 will cause Mokou to begin each round with less than full life, capping out at only 700 Life as opposed to Mokou's standard 1000.
