This Luna support build revolves around consistently strengthening your allies with MP-enhanced buffs with the help of Nimble Footsteps. This skill module grants you Movement Speed and a larger Skill Range for each buff given to allies.

The other modules focus on Skill Duration, Range, and Survivability. When fully maximized, this build should have all three buffs active at all times while Arche Concretion amps them up along with your DEF!

Additionally, to counter-act the negative skill power modifiers, we included Maximize Power since Skill Cooldown does not play a factor on most of Luna's skills as long as you hit your notes consistently.

Alternative Descendant Modules for Mobbing

Module Change			Explanation
Nimble Footsteps	>	Noise Surge	Turns all support skills into offensive AoE variants
Arche Concretion	>	Multitalented	Increases Skill Damage over defensive buffs
Shield Conversion (MP)	>	Skill Insight	Increases Skill Critical Hit Rate over Max MP
MP Accelerant	>	Skill Concentration	Increases Skill Critical Hit Damage over Max MP
Enlightenment	>	Frugal Mindset	Increases Skill Range of Max MP
Skill Extension	>	Singular Master	Increase Singular Skill Damage over Range
Increased DEF	>	Spear and Shield	Increases Skill Damage and DEF

With the Noise Surge skill module, Luna can be as potent as Bunny when it comes to clearing mobs and dealing damage. As soon as you slot the module in, all of your Singular skills turn into offensive skills with decent critical scaling in a radius around Luna!

The additional modules are focused on Skill Power, Critical Values, Range,Singular Skill Modifiers, and survivability. With this module setup, you can run most dungeons and EXP farms with general ease!

If you want to try this out on single targets like bosses, replace Maximize Range with Amplification Control, and Frugal Mindset with Arche Concretion.

Best Luna Weapons (Hard)

Weapon	Substat Priority
Thunder Cage (Optional)	• Round Per Magazine • Bonus Firearm ATK Colossus (vs. Colossus) • Firearm ATK • Firearm Critical Rate
Afterglow Sword (Optional)	• Bonus Firearm ATK Colossus (vs. Colossus) • Firearm ATK • Firearm Critical Rate • Firearm Critical Hit Damage • Weak Point Damage

Since Luna does not primarily use weapons to support her playstyle, it is recommended to bring weapons that can help you in a pinch if you get locked out of your skills. Bring the Thunder Cage for mobbing and consistent DPS, and also the Afterglow Sword for bosses.

Do keep in mind that it is a general rule that you should have a weapon with the Expand Weapon Charge module to further increase the bullet count of your Stage Presence!

Best Luna Equipment (Hard)

For Team Play

Equipment	Substat Priority
Materialized Mechanics Reactor	• Skill Range • Skill Duration • Non-Attribute Power Boost Ratio
Annihilation Auxiliary Power	• Max HP • MP Recovery Out of Combat
Bravery Sensor	• Max MP • MP Recovery in Combat
Bravery Memory	• MP Recovery Multiplier • DEF • Electric Resistance
Annihilation Processor	• Max Shield • Toxic Resistance

Note that External Components with set bonuses have fixed main stats.

For team play, equip a Materialized Tech Reactor since Stage Presence is the only one that scales with Skill Power on this variant. For sub-stats, prioritize Skill Range and Duration

For the External Components, this variation will utilize a mixed set between Annihilation and Bravery to get the additional Skill Duration flat out with more resistance. Using this set gives us +5.7% Skill Duration, +1.8% HP Recovery, and +11.9% Max Shields!

For Solo Play

Equipment	Substat Priority
Materialized Singularity Reactor	• Singular Skill Power Boost Ratio • Non-Attribute Skill Power Boost Ratio • Skill Range
Hungry Sonic Auxiliary Power	• Max HP • MP Recovery Out of Combat
Hungry Sonic Sensor	• MP Recovery in Combat • Max MP
Hungry Sonic Memory	• DEF • MP Recovery Multiplier • Electric Resistance
Hungry Sonic Processor	• Max Shield • Toxic Resistance

If you plan on going solo as Luna, equip a Materialized Singularity Reactor to fully focus on your Exciting, Relaxing, and Cheerful Surge. For sub-stats, prioritize Singular Skill Power Boost Ratio and Non-Attribute Skill Power Boost Ratio.

For the external components, the build utilizes the Hungry Sonic Set as you can stack it quickly with Noise Surge. We slot this in mainly for the Wave buff that lets you recover as much as 1% MP (max stacks) every time you hit an enemy with a Unique Weapon since you will be weaving in attacks from it regularly.

Luna Playstyle Tips

Luna Playstyle Tips
Memorize Each Skills Patterns Sequence Your Skills Time Enhanced Skills Always Be Mobile Actively Rotate Between Exciting and Relaxing Act Weave in Unique Weapon Shots

Memorize Each Skills Patterns

Each of Luna's skills has set patterns and BPMs assigned to them. It is much easier to hit the notes consistently if you were to be aware of their sequence! Also, you must hit a skill on a note to transition between skills and for the buffs to take effect!

Sequence Your Skills

For Luna, sequencing your skills right before you start a boss is crucial. For a general start, it is best to begin with Relaxing Act, transition to Exciting Act, and then end with Cheerful Act.

This skill sequence gives all your teammates the necessary buffs with longer skill power, and then gives you time to stack up on your Inspiration Gauge with shots!

Time Enhanced Skills

As Luna gives out massive buffs with her Enhanced Skills, it is best to hold on to your Inspiration Gauge by simply not casting until the right moment. These moments can range from when the boss gets mounted/downed to giving teammates an additive 35% Skill Crit. Rate, or when essential skills are on a long cooldown!

However, this comes with the con that Luna can be even harder to play when not with a team that has communications since you will have to coordinate and time your buffs for maximum efficacy. Make sure to use our recruitment board if you need a team to support!

Recruitment Board

Always Be Mobile

With the increased Movement Speed given by Nimble Footsteps, you can stay mobile without rolling/grappling during boss fights to preserve your additional DEF and Max MP. Doing so sustains your stacks, further strengthening your buffs while making you more durable.

Actively Rotate Between Exciting and Relaxing Act

Since Cheerful Act has the longest cooldown, it would be in your best interest to stack up on Inspiration by hitting notes with Exciting and Relaxing Act.

This keeps your teammates buffed while having the possibility of doing an Enhanced Cheerful Act later on, which completely resets all of your team's cooldowns. This works best with Blair and Lepic's strong but have egregiously long cooldowns!

Weave in Unique Weapon Shots

Specifically for the Noise Surge build, it is best to weave in some shots to deal more single target damage, further stack up on self-bestowed buffs, and regain some MP with Hungry Sonic Set. Doing so makes your spells more potent with increased Skill Power and Critical Values!

Best Luna Builds for Normal Mode

Luna will rely heavily on Max MP, Skill Range, and Duration for her music to reach farther while their concurrent buffs remain active and potent. You will not be needing Skill Cooldown since it does not affect successful note hits!

Since her buffs do not scale with Skill Power and only through MP, you will use both Non-Attribute and Tech Specialist to increase damage dealt by her Unique Weapon since you will not use any Firearms!

Best Luna Reactor (Normal)

Reactor	Stat Priority
Materialized Mechanics Reactor	・Skill Range ・Skill Duration

For the earlier stages of the game, equip any Materialized Mechanics Reactor you get. It is best to funnel into Tech as Stage Presence is the only skill that scales with Skill Power.

For the substats, look for Skill Range and Skill Duration to actively support your allies from afar and sustain your essential buffs for much longer!

Processor	・Max Shield ・Item Acquisition Distance Increase Modifier ・Toxic Resistance ・Equipment Drop Rate Increase Modifier

Living longer means having to keep Luna's buffs for much longer, so slotting in the Tomb Vanguard Set is recommended to bolster your defenses. Furthermore, the set increases Skill Power, directly buffing up Luna's damage output with Stage Presence!

To get and complete the Tomb Vanguard set, you must defeat the Grave Walker multiple times.

Luna Exclusive Equipment

Arche Amplification Synthesizer Gun

The magisters created speakers and special suits with controllers to ensure that Luna's sound waves do not reach frequences that could harm allies. However, Luna was unhappy about the lack of instruments and began to disobey. As Luna's mood reached an extreme, the controller on the suit began to malfunction and made her go out of control. The magisters, thinking that their eardrums would burst at this rate, tried to calm Luna down and began to work on the development. The top priority was that the end product should resemble an 'instrument'. To protect their eardrums, the development was completed faster than ever. The special weapon, Synthesizer Gun, was designed to that any music Luna sings is calculated using the corresponding equations. The more Luna concentrats, the more the arche is amplified. Luna was fascinated by how this simply designed instrument responded to various songs she sang, and she enjoyed the fact that her abilities blossomed the more she focused on the stage. After receiving the Synthesizer Gun, Luna left the lab with a bright smile as if nothing had happened.
