Yes, more Touhou. This one is about Regenerationn.
So, first of all: What are Gods and Youkai? In Touhou, both are similar as in they are the manifestation of something. Something unexplained? People thinks it's a youkai who did it. So a youkai is created from such belief. A large group of Humans have faith in something? A God is created.
Thus, Youkai and Gods aren't actual physical beings, more like physical manifestation of somehting. This is further proven by the fact that most gods actually doesn't possess a body, and instead manifest themselves through summoning or otherwise. Some Gods DO have a physical body so interect without summoning, but in the end they are exactly the same as normal gods.
Thus, most gods actually "regenerates" their actual body from nothing (If they have one that is) although they still need their Disembodied conciousness to exists.
Thus all gods that aren't part human (Like Sanae) would most likely gets Low-Godly Regenerationn.
Now for Youkai.
Well first of all, seems like even weak youkai gets a feat in Touhou 14 and Ownards: They all come into the battefield by regenerating from a cloud of darkness . So Low-High Regenerationn for every Youkai.
However, there is the fact that Gods = Youkai more or less in biology. It's been stated that they are very similar, being born from humans emotions, with Gods being from Faith and Youkai from fear. Not only that but it has also been stated that they can't really be killed by Physical means, requiring Spiritual attacks to be truly killed. Thus, it seems likely to me that they possess Low-Godly Regenerationn too.
But of course, they all got weaknesses, since humans have been able to defeat Youkai for generations before the Spell Card rules. So, in order of usefulness of Regenerationn..
Youkai: To me, it would makes sense to have 2 Regenerationn stats for them: Physical and Spiritual. Most Youkai would have Low-Godly physical Regenerationn. However, Youkai are indeed weak to some Spiritual Attacks with meaning to them. It means most Anti-Demon stuff and their weaknesses would deal actual scars and damage to them. Only some youkai have impressive Regenerationn in this domain, like Remilia, who should have her current regen for her Spiritual Regen. I don't think any other youkai have noteworthy Spiritual regen to them. Also lack of fear and humans food can kill them.
Gods: Unlike Youkai they have no weaknesses to Spiritual damage, as no technique or attacks were ever made to harm them. After, who would want to harm their god? Seems like their only weaknesses would be lack of Faith. It wouldn't kill them, just BFR them hard or weaken them. Although having even a single person having faith in them would be enough to bring them back, just really weakly.
Fairies: No change here. Unlike gods or youkai they don't run on faith or fear, but nature. Hence they lack their weaknesses. They can only be permenantly destroyed by them turning into youkai eventually due to their power (It never happened however) or destroy the nature they embody (Which is extremely hard).
Hourai Immortals: Unlike those above, they don't depend on anything. Only their souls keep them alive, and it's like extremely hard to reach. So no change here either.
Also, lack of Faith or Fear won't instantly kill them. It seems more like they would grow hungry/weaker over time and eveutally die, but not applicable in a direct fight.
Also, little change, bu Sanae using the gods isn't "Prep-time". She can uses them Mid-Fight pretty easily, at their full power too.
So in the end:
All youkai (Except Magicians or Half-Youkai): Low-Godly Physical Regen, Unknown to Low-High Spiritual Regen.
All gods (Except Half-human gods): Low Godly Regen.
So yeah. Stuff. I guess.
