When Dendro meets Hydro, and certain other conditions are met, a special Lunar-Bloom reaction occurs. In addition to the standard Bloom reaction effects, this also provides the party with valuable "Verdant Dew."

Certain characters can consume "Verdant Dew" or utilize their Talents to deal Lunar-Bloom DMG to enemies. This DMG can trigger CRIT Hits.

VII. New Enemies

Knuckle Duckle

◇ A kuuvahki mechanism of peculiar make, made from scrap metal and mechanical bearings.

Once combat progresses to a certain point, it will enter Duckstruction Mode, becoming more aggressive, generating a Shield for itself, and summoning floating Stamping Devices to harass you. When this happens, you must first deal with the Stamping Devices. Deal DMG with Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged reactions, or destroy them directly, to fry their circuits and cause them to attack Knuckle Duckle's Shield instead.

Located at Lempo Isle

Radiant Moonfly

◇ The moon's ancient power has seeped into these illusory wings, and the butterfly-shaped monster now dances lightly in the moonlight.

These monsters can wield their innate powers to capture their enemies in a Radiant Cocoon. Under specific conditions, they can even change their own Elemental Type. Once captured, both the amount of DMG taken and the strength of healing received will be affected. However, you can escape from a Radiant Cocoon by being healed to your Max HP, granting you the Disentangled effect, which boosts your abilities for a short period of time.

Located at Lempo Isle

Wilderness Ghouls...

"Wilderness Hunter" and "Wilderness Exile"

◇ Ghouls corrupted by the taint of the Abyss, doomed to stalk the frozen wilderness for all eternity.

Those who march beneath the banner of the Wild Hunt can only be truly defeated by reducing their Max HP to zero. Drain its HP completely or use Skills enhanced by Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam to send it into a brief Grief-Stricken state, only during which you can deal DMG to reduce its Max HP and suppress it completely.

Frostnight Scions

Gleaming Charge: Frostnight Scion, Tangled Vines: Frostnight Scion, Blazing Brilliance: Frostnight Scion, and Icy Crystal: Frostnight Scion

◇ An elemental lifeform that has gained an extremely high elemental affinity over long years of exposure to the moonlight.

In battle, Frostnight Scions can convert themselves to enter a Gloomveiled state. While in this state, Frostnight Scions become more powerful. Deal DMG to Frostnight Scions using elemental attacks of the same elemental type as them or by using Lunar Reactions to illuminate them and force them to leave their Gloomveiled state.

Radiant Beasts...

Radiant Antelope, Radiant Bladehorn, and Radiant Lunapod

◇ Monsters that have undergone a unique evolution due to age-long immersion in the ancient moon's power.

These monsters can wield their innate powers to capture their enemies in a Radiant Cocoon. Once captured, both the amount of DMG taken and the strength of healing received will be affected. However, you can escape from a Radiant Cocoon by being healed to your Max HP, granting you the Disentangled effect which boosts your abilities for a short period of time.

Fatui Oprichniki

Oprichniki Fireblade Shock Trooper, Oprichniki Hailstorm Cannoneer, Oprichniki Thunderblitz Gvardiya, Oprichniki Line Trooper, Oprichniki Support Trooper, Oprichniki Grenadier, Oprichniki Vanguard, Oprichniki Medic, and Oprichniki Bombardier

◇ Members of the Fatui's elite Oprichniki forces tasked with maintaining the line of battle. They wield powerful, modified weapons that harness the power of kuuvahki.

Because of this, you might be able to effectively target them with kuuvahki-based attacks while they're charging up their weapons to unleash powerful attacks.

Landcruisers

Cutting Edge All-Purpose Storm Landcruiser, Cutting Edge All-Purpose Scout Landcruiser, Cutting Edge Fire Support Ground Effect Landcruiser, Close Combat Storm Landcruiser, Close Combat Scout Landcruiser, Force Recon Storm Landcruiser, Force Recon Scout Landcruiser, and Force Recon Ground Effect Landcruiser

◇ Heavily armed ships that cruise on land and, thanks to certain modifications, can harness the power of kuuvahki to deploy special functions.

Attack them a certain number of times with Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged reactions while they're using kuuvahki to stop them in their tracks. Because of their reliance on kuuvahki, you might be able to make use of the properties of kuuvahki to attack more effectively.

VIII. System Update

1. New Team Bonus Effect

Moonsign

Adding Moonsign characters to the party increases the Moonsign Level. Including one/two Moonsign characters in your party will grant Nascent Gleam / Ascendant Gleam, respectively.
