Sengoku Gensokyo (general)

To distinguish from Aki's thread about his specific run.

Anyway, SenGen makes me its b**** like a select few games I've played.

• If I'm lucky I can last 10-12 turns until the Youkai Army's last stand (the Mystia/Rumia/Wriggle/random lineup)
  
• If I'm unlucky I can lose in the very first battle. (yes, I've seriously done that without deliberately going for it)
  

Advice? I know of a few things:

• Matching stats to attacks (MEL/DEF = melee, RNG/WIS = ranged)
  
• Favoring ranged
  
• Using specials
• Watching the counter
