Fighting Style
Touko Toukouin is the Cinderella of laser magic and has arguably one of the trickier movesets to work with due to the "Battle Range Combat" type, but to make up for it are her long range Charge moves and her Musou attacks, both of which are the strongest attacks of their kind in the game. Also has a wider attack range and longer range than other ranged characters. Even with the addition of the new Long range Charge Attack moves, her running speed is also the same as Kasumi's. Tokou's attacks are mostly lasers that damage enemies overtime and capable of wiping out the hordes of enemies especially crowds; also her lasers can deal continuous damage to enemy officers and bosses.

Tokou is well-known for her trademark skill Laser Cutters, which is superior to most characters' skills in terms of damage over time. Higher Intellect rate or weapons and accessories equipped would further increase the damage output of her skills, but at the cost of greater MP consumption when she using skills. Fortunately, this effect can be countered by increasing her Intellect rate or equipped weapon and accessories with low MP cost ratings.

Her Musou Attacks are laser attacks powerful that capable of wiping out the hordes of crowded enemies with very high damage especially Cinderella Breaker. But her Cinderella Breaker takes a very long to delay the attack and is not used for combo finisher or starter, making one of the most damaging Musou Attack in the game especially Cinderella Ultimate.

On the down side of Touko Toukouin, she has a low defense stat and her HP rate; she can easily be overrun by crowds with higher difficulties than Normal if the player is not careful. To counter the low defense stat and health rate, the player must increase the defense rate and HP rate by equipping armors and accessories with increase defense rate as well as increasing health rate by percent.
