Recommended Play Style
- Focus on building up your Magick Gauge with non-DPS skills to maximize damage potential with Full Moon Light.

- Dim Slice is excellent for dealing with multiple enemies in close quarters, while Black Flash Fang offers a solid option for high damage on single targets.
- Eclipse Blast is a powerful area-of-effect (AoE) skill, ideal for hitting multiple targets, but be mindful of its long casting time and positioning.
- To maximize effectiveness, stay airborne to take advantage of faster skill animations and to avoid being hit.
