Type-Boosting Items
In Touhou Puppet Dance Performance and its expansion Shard of Dreams, there are certain hold items that will boost the damage done by a Puppet if the skill matches the type required. These types of items are called Type-Boosting Items, and they come in two different core varieties. The first being as Hairpins, which are a non-consumable hold item that make Skills do 1.2x more damage, and are found in the Hold Item 2 category of the bag. The second are the Gemstones, which are a consumable hold item that make Skills do 1.4x more damage, and are found in the Hold Item 1 category of the bag. If the skill is a Multi-hit one, then only the first hit will be boosted.
Hairpins
Hairpins are a hold item that will boost the power of associated type Skills by 1.2x. These are not consumed upon use. There are other Hairpin items in the game, but as they are not associated with Type-Boosting Skills, they will not be listed here. The Hairpins can be purchased from the Kirisame Shop in the Human Village after a certain point in the game. All of them are in stock there at all times, allowing the player a renewable resource of them. Furthermore, every Hairpin (except for the Lapis Hairpin) can be found in the overworld once, allowing the player to accumulate at least one of each of these items for free.
