The game would've been easier if I realized just how well Alice scales with DEX and bows. I made her a mage and her damage isn't nearly as high as Nitori's... and Nitori's DEX scaling is not nearly as good. Regardless, Sakuya is carrying me through.

Anyways (from memory):
-Go south to village; go to shop with a star; speak to Marisa.
-Go to house on the right; speak with Keine.
-Reimu solo first dungeon (directly north east of village). Be careful of blue skeleton; he will one-hit you and is stronger than the boss. Buy VIT accessories to help reduce enemy physical damage as well as give you 8 more HP.
-Go back to speak to Keine.
-Go back to Alice's house and speak to Alice: party member get.
-Head into dungeon east of first dungeon (before bridge). Go as far east as you can to meet Nitori; party member get. She scales great with bows and heavy artillery. You can get guns without attack speed penalties later.
-With 3 member party; head all the way east. Go through cavern.
-Ignore mountain to the north (Tenshi's there; get her later).
-Go east from new village until you reach the SDM. Fight and defeat China; party member get. She has ナックルマステリー (knuckle mastery). This makes her strength give +10% more attack per point up to +100% (2 damage per strength). This makes her a very powerful early-game damage dealer; scales off since she needs STR as well as AGI to deal damage. She also has several buffs, mediocre healing, and very high HP scaling.
-Go back to the mountain; defeat and get Tenshi. She has shield mastery as well as stone body, making her the tankiest unit against physical damage. She gets a 500% ATK scaling move which hits once, so stacking STR on her may better than getting 40AGI to give her 5 attacks/turn. She also has sword mastery, and the game gives you quite a few elemental swords which makes her a decent damage dealer as well as tanky in frontline if you have the patience to equip her with proper swords for your area.
