Moonsign Genshin Impact mechanism

The Genshin Impact game has 2 mechanics, namely: Party mechanics (for teams) and exploration mechanics (for climbing like the Four Leaf Sigil in Sumeru).

Moonsign is included in the party mechanics and serves to increase the team's strength buff in fighting enemies.

What is Moonsign Genshin Impact?

Moonsign is a mechanic for characters released in Nod-Krai.

This mechanic is similar to Nightsoul Blessings, where it affects the combat system and provides enemy DMG buffs.

A sign that this mechanic is active will be a moon symbol with the words "Moonsign Gleam" when you use a character that has it. Moonsign Benediction.

Passive Moonsign Benediction

Moonsign Benediction is a passive ability of the Nod-Krai character.

This passive activates the Moonsign mechanism on your team. So, at least one character must have Moonsign Benediction for this mechanic to activate.

Until now, there are only a few characters who have Moonsign Benediction, namely:

  • Flins (Old World Secrets) -> if a reaction occurs, Electro-charged will automatically be changed to Lunar-charged, increasing the DMG of Lunar-charged from Flins' total ATK.
  • Lauma (Nature's Chorus) –> every Bloom reaction occurs will be changed to Lunar-Bloom, and DMG increases from Lauma's Elemental Mastery.
  • Aino (Force Limit Analysis) -> Increase Moonsign level 1 Level
  • Ineffa (Assemblage Hub) -> if a reaction occurs, Electro-charged will automatically be changed to Lunar-charged, increasing the DMG from Lunar-charged from Ineffa's total ATK.
  • Nefer (Dusklit Eaves) -> every Bloom reaction that occurs will be changed to Lunar-Bloom, and DMG increases from Nefer's Elemental Mastery.

There's a high probability that more characters will be added with the patch update. In addition to providing a passive boost to Lunar reactions, all characters with Moonsign Benediction will have their Moonsign level increased.

This level increase will affect the effects and level levels given by Moonsign.

Moonsign Level Levels and Effects

There are 2 levels for Moonsign mechanics, namely Nascent Gleam and Ascendant Gleam.

This level increase is influenced by the number of characters who have Moonsign Benediction in your party.

For example, if there is only Aino in your team then you get a 1 level increase.

Meanwhile, when you use Flins as DPS and Ineffa as support, you will automatically get a 2 level increase.

Do characters on a team who don't have a Moonsign still get buffs? Of course.

As long as there is one character with a Moonsign, other characters will receive a buff. Non-Moonsign characters will receive a buff up to two levels.

Therefore, this mechanic is much easier to use unlike Nightsoul Blessings and Arkhe which only impact the character who has the mechanic.

The two levels will provide different buffs and effects which the author has outlined in the following table:

LevelsEffectExample
Nascent GleamGrants a standard effect buff to all characters in the team from “Moonsign: Nascent Gleam” – If there is Lauma it will change all Bloom reactions (Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon) to give Crit

– DMG.Ineffa will change Electro-charged to Lunar-charged automatically
Ascendant GleamGrants the buff “Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam” to all characters on the team.
For Non-Moonsign characters, they will get a buff in the form of after Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, the Lunar DMG reaction from the character that triggered the Lunar reaction is a maximum of 36%.
The effects given will differ depending on the character elements, namely:

pyro, Electro, or cryo: Increases DMG 0.9% per 100 ATK.

hydro: Increases DMG 0.6% for every 1,000 Max HP.

geo: Increases DMG 1% per 100 DEF.

Anem or Dendro: Increases DMG 2,25% per 100 Elemental Mastery.
– Aino Elemental Burst will be faster with a larger attack area (AoE) when Ascendant Gleam is active.

– All buffs from Flins' attacks will increase by Lunar-charged DMG and AoE when Moonsign's level reaches Ascendant Gleam.
