Ver. 1.04 Patch Note Changes

Adula's Moonblade Nerf

The damage of Adula's Moonblade dealt to humanoid boss is not much different from Carian Greatsword which costs 12 FP lesser. However, it is still strong for large bosses that can land multiple hits. Although it is not as strong as before, it is still included in the rankings.

Ranni's Dark Moon	[ FP Cost / Req. INT / Slots ] 62 FP / 68 INT / 2 Slots [ Features ] Temporarily decreases the enemy's magic damage negation thus increasing magic damage output. Unlike Rennala's Full Moon, this spell inflicts Frostbite buildup.
Stars of Ruin	[ FP Cost / Req. INT / Slots ] 38 FP / 43 INT / 1 Slot [ Features ] The projectiles are homing making it difficult to dodge. It is a powerful spell.
Night Comet	[ FP Cost / Req. INT / Slots ] FP / INT / Slot [ Features ] It is useful when fighting against agile enemies as it is difficult to evade invisible sorcery. It is more powerful than Comet when paired with Staff of Loss.
