>>5404973On the tier list of gensokyo, fairies can still be dealt with with the pole, probably kedama as well. But weaker Youkai like Rumia, Mystia, Wriggle, Kagero, the Kappa, Kisume, etc. are all but immune to something as silly and short ranged as a stick, but might be dealt with using a gun. Not to mention all the no name youkai who could be lurking around. So we have given up something that could help level the playing field a bit against the vast majority of gensokyos denizens and the best justification that you can give is that it doesn’t matter because the monsters at the top of the power chart would demolish us anyways.
