ザ・ムーン

A mysterious guardian of the Heavenly Gates who battles with gravity manipulation and moonlight. Bounce builds are vulnerable to Gravity Reversal, making penetration or sustained DoT builds the recommended counters. A fitting Stage 7 challenge with layered special mechanics.

Moonlight Beam

A charged beam of pure moonlight. The boss stops briefly during the charge — seize that window for focused attacks, but clear the beam's line of fire beforehand. Deals heavy damage if it connects.

Gravity Reversal

Inverts ball reflection directions for a fixed duration. Intuitive aim becomes inverted, crippling bounce builds. Penetration builds depend less on wall angles and are far less affected. The duration is short — rather than force attacks, pause firing and wait for the effect to end.

Satellite Summon

Orbiting satellites form a damage barrier around the Moon. Balls that touch them take damage and deflect. The orbit pattern is predictable — time your shots through the gaps. Poison and Bleed DoT effects can continue ticking even while the barrier is up.

Gravity Field

A gravitational pull centered on the Moon draws balls inward. Balls dragged in risk colliding with the boss, but the same effect concentrates DoT stacks on the boss body — a double-edged mechanic you can exploit.

• Gravity Reversal is a hard counter to bounce builds; Ethereal Cloak (penetration) balls are unaffected since they don't rely on wall angles
• Pre-stack Poison DoT before the satellite barrier forms, so damage continues through the barrier
• Moonlight Beam's charge is the prime attack window — the Moon is stationary, so pour damage in
• The Gravity Field can be turned into free DoT accumulation on the boss body; consider it an opportunity rather than a threat
• Turret auto-attacks are unaffected by gravity inversion or Gravity Field, providing consistent background damage throughout

Penetration + Poison DoT (Recommended)

• Main Ball: Poison
• Evolution Goal: Poison reinforcement, area expansion
• Passives: Ethereal Cloak, Turret
• Tactic: Penetrate the satellite barrier and maintain Poison DoT on the boss; Gravity Reversal impact minimized

Bounce DoT Accumulation (Advanced)

• Main Ball: Bleed or Burn
• Evolution Goal: Compound DoT stacking
• Passives: Hourglass, Pressure Valve
• Tactic: Track Gravity Reversal timing; hold fire during inversion and burst on resumption
