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 its attacks, only to gain it back later.
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 her 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 Normals and 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. Additionally, Mokou has a unique quirk among RicePigeon's other Touhou Project characters in that each of her Ⓨ and Ⓩ Normals and Command Normals will deal chip damage to an opponent if blocked, though Mokou is unable to K.O. her opponents in this way; these same attacks also happen to drain Mokou's Life, thus the chip damage from her Normals acts as a tradeoff to compensate for this.
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 projectile-invincible rushing attack that, on hit, causes Mokou to initiate a self-destructing explosion that consumes all of the character's 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. In addition, the damage of damage dealt is scaled by the amount of recoverable life Mokou had before executing the attack, up to a maximum of 150% damage. "Raging Eternal Volcanic Flame" is a screen-spanning ground pound that, on successful hit, summons a volcanic geyser at the opponent's feet for more damage, but can easily be avoided by jumping.

Trivia[]
Both of Mokou's winquotes against Sakuya Izayoi are references to the British science fiction TV series Doctor Who.
Mokou's voice clips are those of Tatsuki Arisawa's from Bleach: The Blade of Fate.
