Attack Behavior
| Normal State |  |
|---|---|
| Enraged State |  |
| Battle-Bound (Unleashed) State |  |
The Bound Lunagaron has 3 states which are its Normal, Enraged, and Battle-Bound (Unleashed) State. It primarily stays in the Battle-Bound (Unleashed) during the mid to latter part of the fight.
Normal State

|---|---|
| Turn 1 | Speed Attack |
| Turn 2 | Chilling Charge Switch to Normal State |
| Turn 3 From Enraged State |
Speed Attack |
| Turn 2 | Chilling Charge Switch to Battle-Bound Unleashed |
In its Normal State, the Bound Lunagaron will unleash Speed Attacks and a single-target attack called Chilling Charge. It will repeat this between the Enraged and Battle-Bound Unleashed States.
Enraged State
| Turn Count | Move |
|---|---|
| Turn 0 From Normal State |
Lunagaron's Roar |
| Turn 1 | Silver Breath |
| Turn 2 | Brutal Rush (Power Attack) |
| Turn 3 | Brutal Rush (Power Attack) |
| Turn 4 | Beast Chaser Switch Back to Normal State |
In the Enraged State, the Bound Lunagaron will now launch Power Attacks. It will also use Beast Chaser, a powerful single-target attack.
Battle-Bound (Unleashed) State
| Turn Count | Move |
|---|---|
| Turn 1 From the Normal State |
Rising Shot and Mud Torrent |
| Turn 2 | Technical Attack |
| Turn 3 | Beast Chaser |
| Turn 4 | Technical Attack+Thunder Aura L |
| Turn 5 | Railgun |
| Turn 6 | Technical Attack |
| Turn 7 | Rising Shot |
| Turn 8 | Beast Chaser Will use it twice |
| Turn 9 | Technical Attack+Thunder Aura L |
| Turn 10 | Railgun |
| Turn 11 | Mud Torrent (Technical Attack) and Rising Shot |
| Turn 11 | Mud Torrent (Technical Attack) and Silver Breath |
Bound Lunagaron's primary state during the middle and latter part of the battle willl be its Battle-Bound Unleashed state. It will engage with Technical Attacks during head to heads.
Aside from this it will occasionally launch consecutive attacks, which will consist mostly of Mud Torrent and a skill like Rising Shot or Silver Breath.
Lastly, it will use the move Thunder Aura L in the previous turn before launching a very powerful AoE attack, Railgun. It will repeatedly do so until the attack unleashes.
Recommended Monsties for the Bound Lunagaron
 Deviljho
|
 Espinas
|
The Bound Lunagaron will be primarily in the Battle-Bound (Unleashed) state during the mid to latter part of the fight where it will be very weak to the Dragon element and neutral with the Fire element. It will have high resistance against all other attack elements. We recommend Monsties like Deviljho or Espinas as they have high HP and good damage.
Keep in mind however of the Deviljho's weakness to Thunder so make sure to switch them out before the Bound Lunagaron unleashes Railgun.
How to Beat the Bound Lunagaron
| Jump to a Section |
|---|
|
|
Level Up to at Least Level 60
Bound Lunagaron will be at level 68 so, make sure your party is well-prepared. We recommend that you and your roster are levelled up to at least Level 60.
Use Healing Items or Skills
During the fight, Bound Lunagaron can unleash consecutive attacks or powerful oneshots. Make sure to prepare weapons with healing capabilities or purchase healing items to avoid losing all of your hearts.
Have Genes and Armor with Multiple Resistances
Although the Bound Lunagaron will initially use Ice element moves, it will later on use strong Water and Thunder type skills. Prepare your Monsties with Genes can help reduce the damage received from these attacks.
Additionally, equip armor like the Barioth or Malzeno Armor that can help cover resistances for multiple elements (Ice, Water, Thunder) alongside having high defense.
Increase Dodge Up or Inflict Accuracy Down
Since the Bound Lunagaron will be highly resistant to all ailments during its third state, it is recommended to either increase Dodge Up or inflict Accuracy Down so that it misses some of its strong attacks. Players can do this with the use of battle skills or weapon skills like Accuracy Down Coating on the bow and arrow.
Have Ogden as Your Ally
Ogden makes for an excellent ally during this battle as he can both heal and increase the party's Dodge Up status. He makes it less likely for your team to fall against the boss' strong attacks.
List of All Characters and Companions
Use the Kinship Skill to Interrupt Railgun or Dual Attacks
The Bound Lunagaron will keep trying to unleash consecutive attacks or powerful attacks like Railgun to unleash massive damage. Try to interrupt these attacks by saving and timing the use of your Kinship Skill.
Equip Solar Cry to Fill Kinship Gauge
Solar Cry is an extremely helpful Egg skill to have that will help you more consistently interrupt powerful attacks through filling up your Kinship Gauge faster.
Cover All Attack Types for Head to Heads
The Bound Lunagaron can change to all types of attacks during head to heads depending on its state. Make sure to either switch out your Monstie or use the correct Attack type, Technical, Power, and Speed, to gain the boost and avoid massive damage.
