Moonlight Purge Stage 1

Challenge Target	- Deploy Agent "Tsukishiro Yanagi" - Clear the " Moonlight Purge (I)" Challenge - Finish combat within 240s.
Rewards	Red Bean Bun Token x50
Enemies	Wave 1: Illegal Support Unit - Enraged Sweeper x1 Hollow Thug - Rustler x2 Wave 2: Ionized - Doppelganger - Bellum x1

Use a Defensive Assist on the Enraged Sweeper

The Enraged Sweeper can perform a spinning attack that will last quite a while. Use a Defensive Assist to interrupt the Enraged Sweeper's spinning attack.

You can also inflict Shock on the Enraged Sweeper to interrupt its movements for a short time.

Use Dodge Counters Against Bellum

Bellum's Doppelganger is a tanky enemy who can dish out a ton of damage to your characters. Use Dodge Counters every step of the way to slowly chip out the Doppelganger's HP.

Alternatively, use the Trial Character Seth's shield to defend yourself from the Doppelganger's attacks.

Moonlight Purge Stage 2

Challenge Target	- Deploy Agent "Tsukishiro Yanagi" - Clear the " Moonlight Purge (II)" Challenge - Finish combat within 240s.
Rewards	Red Bean Bun Token x50
Enemies	Wave 1: Illegal Support Unit - Enraged Sweeper x2 Wave 2: Ionized - Doppelganger - Bellum x1 Ionized - Doppelganger - Mors x1

Focus on Ionized - Doppelganger - Mors

On Wave 2, we recommend focusing on Ionized - Doppelganger - Mors first to prevent them from taking free shots at you from range.

Dodge or use Perfect Asissts against Ionized - Doppelganger - Bellum's attacks while they are lured to your and Ionized - Doppelganger - Mors's location.

Moonlight Purge Stage 3

Challenge Target	- Deploy Agent "Tsukishiro Yanagi" - Clear the " Moonlight Purge (III)" Challenge - Finish combat within 240s.
Rewards	Red Bean Bun Token x50
Enemies	Wave 1: Patrol Jaeger x2 Assault Gunner x1 Wave 2: Tarasque Mixer x1

Flank Tarasque Mixer

On wave 2, we recommend flanking Tarasque Mixer, since the majority of its attacks come from the front.

Moonlight Purge Stage 4

Challenge Target	- Deploy Agent "Tsukishiro Yanagi" - Clear the " Moonlight Purge (IV)" Challenge - Finish combat within 240s.
Rewards	Red Bean Bun Token x50
Enemies	Wave 1: Assault Gunner x1 Autonomous Support Unit - Lightfoot Rover MK II x1 Wave 2: Autonomous Support Unit - Guardian MK III x1

Stay Close and Flank Enemies

Like Moonlight Purge Stage 4, we recommend staying close and flanking the enemies in Stage 5 since most of the enemies' ranged attacks still come from the front.

However, be prepared to dodge or use Perfect Assists, especially against Autonomous Support Unit - Guardian MK III's spin and charge attacks.

Moonlight Purge Stage 5

Challenge Target	- Deploy Agent "Tsukishiro Yanagi" - Clear the " Moonlight Purge (V)" Challenge - Finish combat within 240s.
Rewards	Red Bean Bun Token x50
Enemies	Wave 1: Alpeca x2 Farbauti x1 Wave 2: Dullahan x1

Dodge Dullahan's Charge Attack

Dullahan has a charge attack that can be confusing to time a dodge with. Prepare to dodge when the purple glow stops emitting from Dullahan!

Moonlight Purge Stage 6

Challenge Target	- Deploy Agent "Tsukishiro Yanagi" - Clear the " Moonlight Purge (VI)" Challenge - Finish combat within 240s.
Rewards	Red Bean Bun Token x50
Enemies	Wave 1: Farbauti x1 Thanatos x1 Wave 2: Dullahan x1

Defeat Thanatos First

We recommend defeating Thanatos first on the first wave of enemies. Dodge and use Perfect Assists against Farbauti's charging attacks as you whittle down Thanatos to avoid receiving ranged attacks.

Moonlight Traces Stage Buffs

Moonlight Traces Stage Buffs
Moonshadow's Blessing During her EX Special Attack, the rapid thrust's Electric Anomaly Buildup increases by 20%. Holding down the Special Attack button after a rapid thrust hits an enemy will consume 10 additional Energy to launch another thrust. If Energy is insufficient or the button is released, the attack automatically follows up with the downward attack.

Each additional thrust increases this multiplier by 15%, up to a maximum of 2 extra thrusts.
Heartened Moonlight Agent Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 100% when hitting an enemy suffering an Atrtibute Anomaly.
