Overview and Tips
At first glance, Towa's kit may resemble that of Amelia Watson, being a ranged attack character with a focus on precise long-range shooting coupled with an animal companion that deals damage. However the similarities end there, with Towa's skills being more involved in terms of movement: the Ammo mechanic that
Devil's Familiar provides relies on Towa having to pick up Ammo drops scattered throughout the map to buff her main weapon, the
Devil Assault Rifle, while
Mad Devilish gives Towa a radial area-of-effect attack gained from sticking close to enemies either intentionally or otherwise. Both skills give Towa a riskier element to her playstyle, needing her to rush to grab Ammo that may take her close to enemies, though in turn she has better ability to defend herself in close combat.
Asides from her Ammo, the most unique aspect of her kit is her TMDevil Machine Gun Special, which has to be fired manually by holding down the Special Attack button. This gives players significantly more control over the weapon, whether to clear out large enemy groups or burst down an enemy Boss or mini-boss. It is also the only Special capable of having its duration extended via pick-ups (Ammo) and holding off on firing, and it is even possible to keep the Special activated long enough to last until the Special Meter is fully recharged, allowing for semi-continuous use of her Special by waiting until the Special is charged, discharging all the Special's Ammo, then reactivating the Special.

Trivia
Devil Assault Rifle,
TMDevil Machine Gun, and
Apex Shooter, are nods to Towa's popular multiplayer FPS streams, especially her Apex Legends streams.[1] Apex in particular, as reference by
Apex Shooter, is one of Towa's two most-known game due to her frequent appearances at various tournaments, including a victory at the 10th and last CR Cup.[2] The other most known Towa's FPS is Blizzard's Overwatch which she is a major fan of.[3]
TMDevil Machine Gun and
Mad Devilish is based on an early Towa's meme regarding her lore and persona where despite being a devil, Towa keeps being revealed to be a very kind, considerate and all-around nice person especially when around other people with some needy moment in between.
TMDevil Machine Gun is based on TMD, one of the many variant/counter-variant of Towa's defunct TMT (Towa Maji Tenshi, Towa is truly an angel) meme which is linked to the above. Early on, Towa would play along, either by trying to act devilish (as reference by
Mad Devilish) which would backfire when she couldn't fully commit to the act or by trying to push for her own acronym like TMA (Towa Maji Akuma, Towa is truly a devil) or TMD (Towa Maji Debiru, same meaning as the previous) which her viewers would simply rewrote to include variant of the word angel.[4] TMD in particular was made famous when Towa herself had accidentally spelled it out as Towa Maji Daitenshi (Towa is truly an Archangel) instead of her intended Towa Maji Debiru causing Towa to immediately end stream in embarrassment.[5]
- Note that the both TMT and the general angelic Towa meme has mostly died especially among Towa's Kenzoku fanbase as the joke has been run into the ground to the extent that Towa herself has stop bothering to react whenever it show up.[6]
- <Character> Maji Tenshi is a common phrase in the Japanese Anime community which would eventually be introduced to foreign anime communities through media such as the Re:Zero anime.
Devil's Familiar is based on Towa's (summonable) transforming familiar Bibi who, according to Towa's lore, is tasked to protect her while she's in the human world.
- Bibi's most common form is that of a horned hat seen on Towa's base outfit.[7] This form is the inspiration for the
Devil Hat making the skill Bibi's second appearance in the game. Thanks to the transforming gimmick, Bibi has made many appearances especially as merchandise where the mascot has been turned into a variety of products from classic plushy to face mask and slippers.[8][9]
