How to get Lightbearing Moonshard Sword in Genshin Impact Luna II

The Genshin Impact Luna II Lightbearing Moonshard Sword is finally released in Version Luna IV, and it is an event-exclusive 5-star sword. It is designed for travelers who wish to combine defense and elemental reaction damage. This sword is said to be crafted from the collected moonlight in a hidden spring by an adeptus, and it only reveals its true strength during dusk or dawn.

Weapon Mechanics and Effects

Genshin Impact Lightbearing Moonshard Sword has a passive skill named “Legacy of Lang-Gan.” It does raise DEF by 20% and also raises the damage increase of Lunar-Crystallize reactions by 64% for 5 seconds after using an Elemental Skill. So, if you use an elemental skill, then your reactions deal more damage right after.

The sword also scales well with DEF, even at level 90. This means that characters such as Zhongli or Noelle can maximize their potential because they have high DEF values already. Using this sword in Spiral Abyss or in domains where enemies gather is very effective because the increased damage of Lunar-Crystallize can break shields quickly and also deal AoE damage.

How to Get It

The Genshin Impact Luna II Lightbearing Moonshard Sword is not in the usual Wanderlust Invocation wish. You have to obtain it from the event banner. To upgrade it, you will need items such as Grain of Aerosiderite, Mistshroud Manifestation, and Broken Drive Shaft. These items are obtained from bosses, mining, and event quests.

In terms of the older event swords, such as Festering Desire or Skyward Blade, the Moonshard Sword is somewhat different. The former two were more focused on crit damage or pure attack power, but this one combines defense with reaction damage. Players who have been following the leaks, such as Genshin Impact Luna V Banners Leaked, might have anticipated its arrival.

Gameplay and Strategy

This sword forces you to consider timing strategically. After an ability is used, you’ll hit with normal or elemental attacks to maximize the effect of Lunar-Crystallize. It will work best against enemies who are clustered together or who have shields. So, where typical 5-star swords have stats that emphasize either crit or energy recharge, this sword has stats that emphasize timing and reactions.

It also pairs well with characters that have shields or are able to remain in the middle of battles. This sword is more than just increasing the power of attacks. It forces you to think about rotations and how your abilities interact with the enemy. It’s a bit more complex than “equip and spam attacks,” which is not typical of older event swords.

Overall, the Lightbearing Moonshard Sword is a combination of style, lore, and functionality. It is definitely a cut above the rest when it comes to its ability to increase DEF and its reactions with Lunar Crystallize. Compared to other swords like Skyward Blade or Festering Desire, this sword is more versatile because you can use it for both defense and offense at the same time. This sword is definitely for players who enjoy analyzing rotations and reactions.

Players who participated in events like the Genshin Impact Stygian Onslaught Event may already be familiar with the need to carefully plan ability rotations and exploit elemental reactions for maximum impact.
