Combat Tips
At maximum enhancement, Circling Moon reaches an Attack value of 35, making it one of the stronger options in its category. Investing refinement materials early can pay dividends throughout the mid and late game.
Spears excel at maintaining distance from enemies. Use thrust attacks to poke enemies while staying outside their melee range. Sweeping attacks can catch groups of enemies, but be careful not to overcommit against fast opponents.
As a two-handed weapon, this spear prevents the use of off-hand equipment. Consider your build and playstyle carefully when choosing between the higher damage of two-handed weapons and the versatility of one-handed options with shields or dual-wielding.
The Circling Moon is one of three Moon weapons, each tied to a different element and Full Moon Slash gear. The other two are the Grasping Moon and the Diverging Moon. All three gears can be extracted at a Witch vendor and embedded onto a single weapon.
When all three Moon Slash gears are combined on one weapon, they create a devastating crossover effect that shoots ice, fire, and electric sonic booms simultaneously. The attacks alternate between elements, providing excellent AoE coverage and elemental synergy. This combination works particularly well on fast one-handed weapons where the attack speed allows rapid chaining of the elemental projectiles.
