Moonsign in Genshin Impact: What does the status change mean?

In Genshin impact, the Moonsign effect levels are a special mechanic that affects a team's strength, similar to Elemental Resonance. This mechanic can increase team damage output, if you add Nod-Krai characters into it. In this guide, we'll explain how to activate Moonsign and the conditions under which heroes receive its additional bonuses.

Moonsign in Genshin Impact: Levels and Effects

There are only two levels of Moonsign in the game: Nascent Gleam and Ascendant Gleam. They are directly dependent on the team composition and require one or two Nod-Krai companions or a special condition.

Nascent Gleam

Achieved by adding one Nod-Krai character to the party. There are no bonuses or benefits associated with this particular level of Moonsign. It serves solely as an intermediate level, similar to highlighting one element in the Elemental Resonance wheel, and is necessary to indicate the presence of a companion in the party who increases the Moonsign level.

Ascendant Gleam

To obtain the second level of resonance, you need to add two characters from Nod-Krai to your team.

Special skills and equipment buffs

Once you reach the desired Resonance level, you can receive buffs that affect your team's damage in various ways:

• Additional skills of Nod-Krai charactersCompanions from this region have additional bonuses in their talent descriptions that depend on the level of Moonsign. For example, with a full bonus, Aino has an increased area of ​​effect of the ult and lowered cooldown of the status effect. Lauma has some extra bonuses for the team, which determine its concept.

  

  

• Passive effects of weapons and artifactsSome equipment, especially crafted items from Nod-Kraihave an additional bonus that directly depends on the level of Lunar Resonance. This allows for a significant stat boost for meeting certain conditions. However, the wielder of the upgraded weapon/artifact set doesn't necessarily have to be a Nod-Krai character.

  

  

Bonuses for allies from other regions

The additional buff is based on the interaction of companions from Nod-Krai and other kingdoms, it's only for those those who join a group with Ascendant Gleam. When activating an E or ult, a companion from another region grants a bonus to Lunar reaction damage for 20 seconds. This buff depends on their personal characteristics and is determined by their element:

• Pyro, Electro, or Cryo: Increases Lunar Reaction damage by 0,9% per 100 ATK.
• Hydro: Increases Lunar Reaction damage by 0,6% per 1000 max HP.
• Geo: Increases Lunar Reaction damage by 1% for every 100 defense.
• Anemo or Dendro: Increases Lunar Reaction damage by 2,25% for every 100 Elemental mastery.

In any case, you can get an increase up to 36% for one specific character, and the effect is not cumulative. To calculate, take the desired stat, divide it by the number specified in the second half of the description (100/1000), and multiply by the desired percentage.

Moonsign Change: What it means and how to improve it

Moonsign Change means activating/deactivating the bonuses provided by team mechanics. To increase/decrease the Resonance level, you need to:

• Add 1 or 2 Nod-Krai characters to the team. This achieves either Nascent or Ascendant Gleam, depending on the number of characters. Once the party has the required companions, a notification about the current Gleam will appear in the upper right corner of the party menu.
  
• Use the Selenic Chronicles. By speaking with Columbina once every seven days, you can obtain a period-specific Ascendant Gleam for your active team without adding any Nod-Krai characters. Note that in other kingdoms and various combat activities, such as Spiral Abyss, Imaginarium Theater or Stygian Onslaught, the buff does not work.
