##Attack Patterns

Bloody Moon: Up to 12 actions per turn.
Apostles: Up to 5 actions per turn.

==

######Phase 1: Kill each Apostles

During this Phase, the Bloody Moon will do:

• New Moon, Half Moon, Full Moon and Crescent Moon rotation

• Use Total Eclipse every 3 Turns

• Use remaining actions as normal attacks with 15% chance of them being Comet Moon

To move on to Phase 2, you must kill one Apostle of each element. To be technically correct, phase transition happens when the Dark and Light Apostles are dead, so it's possible to have a lingering Apostle of a different element and still transition.

==

######Phase 2: Facing Bloody Moon

At the Start of the Phase 2, Bloody Moon will use:

• Scorn of the Moon (survivable with Genji Shield/Safety Bit) and start a new Moon Rotation cycle, now using the Crimson skillset

• It will start summoning an Apostle per turn when dropped below 90% HP

There is one Threshold at every 20% HP step where it will use Moon Revolt depending on the moon phase it switches to on the turn the threshold was broken. which has a procedural RNG check to use one of these skills (checks for first one, if it fails go to second and so on, until the guaranteed hit if all fails):

• 20% Chance for Snort -> 20% Chance for 500% Physical -> 20% Chance for -75% Fullbreak -> 10% AoE Death -> 100% Chance for 500% Magical

• If you break 2 HP thresholds in a turn, it will roll the check for only one of them per turn. It will roll again for the second one on the following turn.

There are retaliation skills when the Bloody Moon is hit with Black Magic or an item. To be more specific, the boss will use Crimson Moon Descent, Fly to the Moon, Crazy Day or Total Eclipse in retaliation depending on the Moon Phase it currently is (phase -> skill relationship on the section below).

• If you hit it with Black Magic and cross a threshold at the same turn, it will retaliate twice, once with the Moon Revolt check, then with the Moon Phase skill.

• Bloody Moon will still use Total Eclipse every 3 turns and if you cross a threshold during one of those turns, it will still cast it after the threshold retaliation.

• If you kill Bloody Moon while leaving Apostles alive, they'll go berserk, reviving other Apostles until there are 3 and they'll all cast Kidnap, permanently removing 3 units of yours.

==

###Moon Phases Retaliation Skills

These are the skills used in retaliation to Black Magic/Item usage against the Moon:

• Crimson New Moon: 700% Phys AoE Nuke

• Crimson Half Moon: AoE -50% ATK/DEF/MAG/SPR for 3 turns

• Crimson Full Moon: 300% Magic AoE

• Crimson Crescent Moon: Snort [ST Remove From Battle (100% Chance) for 4 turns]

Unlike we previously thought, Moon Phases are irrelevant when crossing 20% HP thresholds. You only face the RNG roll specified on the section above.

#Tips

If you have any specific tip you want added, tag me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!

• For people without 2 Ashes, you can chain with a friend Grim Lord Sakura.

• Prominent chainers this time around are: Ashe, GLS, T.Terra, Ace and Lunera

• You can reset the app during the thresholds to get another roll if you've been screwed by RNG (ie got the 10% AoE Death roll)

• Both Genji Shield and Safety Bit can be used to save units from the 100% AoE Death when moving to phase 2.
