Strategy/Usage[]
Like the other Ultra Souls, Shitakiri Sparrow has significantly different stats between Normal (spammable) and Evolved Form (high performance), both of which can be used effectively depending on the situation.
Normal Form[]
In his normal form, this unit can have countless uses, but doesn't really excel at anything. While it can be used as a midrange attacker, it lacks the spammability and range to keep up with anything more than peons. It can work well at clearing peons, thus aiding rushers or single target attackers like Dragon Cat, but the wave is short, weak and inconsistent. It can, lastly, use his knockback and curse abilities on Angels and Akus, but the combination of short range, low activation chance and possible presence of shields makes that unreliable as well. For these reasons, Shitakiri Sparrow is best used alongside other units with the same purpose he's needed to fulfil, but he can also do a lot on his own in specific cases where all his abilities are desired.
Evolved Form[]
This form is best used against mixed armies of common Angels and other traits, or certain bosses. The quick attacks, along with a guranteed knockback to angels with the True Form, make the Chunchun Haunters quite good at lowering the pressure of Angels on the frontline, limiting, especially, the danger posed by the slow moving/attacking Chickful A, the weak-ish Angelic Sleipnir, who relies a lot on knockback, and the slow but powerful (for an aide) Heavenly Hippoe. Against armies of just Angels, the knockback may result in some unwanted momentum at times, making such situations less ideal.
Surge immunity is also a notable feature, which allows this unit to safely work in presence of the highly destructive Surge Base, or the unavoidable aftermath surges of Akus. Speaking of, cursing a dying Condemned Peng will not impede the aftermath surge from having a slowing property, making the curse ability not very relevant in those cases. Shields are also quite troublesome, as the Chunchun Haunters cannot do anything against those. On the contrary, the low damage per hit may result in unwanted damage based knockbacks (and shield regenerations that could have been skipped) on Akus, especially when the main hit breaks a shield and is immediately followed by a pathetically weak mini-wave. While they can be immensely helpful in very specific situations, these "Yokai Busters" are not a very good match for Akus, and should mainly be used on Angels.
Of course, they can also serve as a general backline attacker like Bahamut Cat and most Ubers, but their range and speed usually result in them getting way too close to the enemies, making them hard to use in their evolved form.
True Form[]
In True Form, Grand ChunChun Haunters' most notable gain is the guaranteed Mini-Wave, which combined with the knockback ability makes them much more consistent at holding back threats that they can directly damage. The extra bonuses to health and damage are both good and do improve the unit's performance, though not by much in their niche and are unlikely to make too much of a difference.
Apart from the mentioned changes, Grand ChunChun Haunters now have a single slot Research Combo. Considering how cooldown reduction does matter in the case of disposable attackers, this is in itself incredibly efficient for the amount of slots it takes, and can be combined with other equivalents for even greater effect. As such, despite the expensive cost, this True Form may be useful even if you just need the combo.

Trivia[]
- Shitakiri Sparrow is based on the story of Shita-kiri Suzume, the story of a kind and selfless old man who helps nurse an injured sparrow back to health and is rewarded for it, as opposed to the man's wife who dismisses the sparrow and even cuts out its tongue after it was found eating her starch, eventually leading to the woman's demise.
- Chunchun Haunters are a reference to the popular Ghostbusters film, with the ghosts in this case being replaced by Yokai.
- The three figures below the machinery are in order from left to right: Yūrei, Hitotsume-kozō and Rokurokubi.
