Quick Summary

Komachi acts as the first stratum boss, and as such packs quite a punch on an unprepared party. She has access to DTH skills so protecting your main tank against that is pretty much required. She is very weak to NTR, making Nitori is your best choice for attacking here. She also has weaknesses to FIR and WND, and is very weak to PSN and SHK, opening up several options for NG+.

Strategies

Ame-no-Murakumo (NG)

There is a lot of setup for this fight. Since Komachi has a lot going for her and we barely have access to good skills, we have to squeeze every advantage we can get from the characters we have available. Below are the vital characters in this fight and their major role:

The party composition is thus all 11 available characters, with the frontline being Momiji / Keine / Reimu / Nitori. The fight strategy can be divided into 4 phases, explained in detail below:

PHASE 1 - Buffing

The main goal here is to buff the frontline, specially Nitori and Momiji. Komachi will be using basic moves at the start so there is nothing to fear here. This phase ends when Kasen switches in. The actions should go like this:

PHASE 2 - Kasen/Minoriko damage

The second phase uses Kasen and Minoriko for damage, and lasts until Keine no longer has MP to buff Kasen. This should deal about 30-40% of Komachi’s HP in damage, and Minoriko is responsible for keeping Momiji/Kasen alive and well. Reimu fires off a heal as well while Minoriko isn’t swapped in.

PHASE 3 - Kourin/Nitori damage

Once Keine is out of MP, we switch in Cirno to hope for a lucky SPD debuff. The odds are 50%, so we can try at most twice while Kasen uses the remainder of her MP. Minoriko gets replaced with Kourin, who will replace Cirno with Nitori, so she can quickly damage Komachi and get switched back into safety by Momiji or Youmu (who swaps into Kasen’s slot when she runs out of MP). The swapping keeps going until Komachi’s ATB goes over 7500 and is below 40% HP.

PHASE 4 - Narrow Confines of Avici

When the Narrow Confines are approaching, simply swap Nitori for Reimu and wait for it. If Reimu gets a turn, either heal everyone or buff everyone, whatever will help most. Reimu’s Armored Yin-Yang Orb reduces incoming damage by 15% so that’s a great help to tank it. After that, simply go back to swapping Nitori in and out to kill Komachi as fast as possible.

This fight should be VERY consistent from what I’ve tested, so long as you predict Narrow Confines correctly and Nitori doesn’t die, victory is guaranteed. Some accidents can happen with slot 4 targetting but that’s very unlikely.
