16-Moon Weapon Synergy: Grasping Moon is part of the Moon weapon trio, alongside Circling Moon and Diverging Moon. Each Moon weapon has a unique elemental sonic boom (fire, electric, and ice respectively). All three special gears can be extracted at a Witch vendor and embedded onto a single weapon. When combined, the weapon fires ice, fire, and electric sonic booms simultaneously, creating a devastating crossover effect. Collecting all three Moon weapons and merging their gears is one of the strongest spear setups in the game.
29+At maximum enhancement, Grasping Moon reaches an Attack value of 38, making it one of the stronger options in its category. Investing refinement materials early can pay dividends throughout the mid and late game.

18-Tips
31+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.

20-Make sure you have Keen Senses level 2 before picking up this weapon, or you will not be able to equip it immediately.After the liberation cutscene, do not leave the area. Walk back in to find the weapon on the ground.The fire sonic booms from Half Moon Slash explode on impact, making them particularly effective against clustered enemies. Use the explosions to deal area-of-effect damage to tightly packed groups.
33+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.

35+The Grasping Moon is one of three Moon weapons, each tied to a different element and Half Moon Slash gear. The other two are the Circling Moon and the Diverging Moon. All three gears can be extracted at a Witch vendor and embedded onto a single weapon.
36+ 
37+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.
