INTRODUCTION
In the past, those delicate hands could only quietly brush away the tears in the corners of her eyes. Now, these tender hands grasp a weapon adorned with menacing fangs, all in answer to the hopes of that human.
Lunar Vow: Crimson Love is an S-rank, PSY-type, Lightning DMG Battlesuit who swings chainsaw with razor-sharp fangs and relentlessly pursues her enemies beneath the blood moon. She has the ability to inflict Bleed Trauma despite of her Element Type and her DMG is mostly Bleed DMG. Captains take note, she deals Lightning DMG but her QTE, Weapon DMG and Ultimate DMG are all regarded as Bleed DMG which is an Indirect DMG (it is neither Ranged nor Melee) Additionally, Lunar Vow: Crimson Love Bleed DMG is always a crit hit, just take a look at those Yellow Num—
"HEY! HEY! DON'T SPREAD MISINFO! YOU DUM-DUM!"
Right! We all know that Bleed DMG does not crit and the most important thing to note is that Physical Buffs does not have any effect on Lunar Vow: Crimson Love Bleed DMG.

[HOLD] ATK during SEQ-4 to extend her slash, inflicting Bleed Trauma and restoring Biting Mark.

Frenzy Mode ends after depleting Biting Mark or [HOLD] Weapon Active, in which she casts her Special ATK In the Name of Protection dealing Lightning DMG. This Special ATK is regarded as Combo ATK & Weapon DMG.
Additionally, her QTE, Weapon Active and Ultimate DMG is regarded as Bleed DMG.

[TAP] Ultimate to slashes enemies in range repeatedly, during which she became invincible and triggers Time-Frozen Domain and deals Lightning DMG.
[HOLD] Ultimate to speed up her slashes and increases the DMG dealt. After hitting enemies 45 Times, she will rip the enemies apart under the blood moon dealing Lightning DMG.
MECHANICS
BITING MARK [KINETIC ENERGY GAUGE]
Lunar Vow: Crimson Love has Kinetic Energy meter above her health bar called Biting Mark, which is maxed at 200 Value. Captain can cast Lunar Vow: Crimson Love Combo ATK after accumulating maximum Biting Mark Value.
It should be noted that when Biting Mark does not reach its maximum value or it stop charging mid-way, it will automatically decrease at a rate of 30 charge per second. Additionally, Biting Mark will be cleared when the character leaves the field, so it is necessary to gain full Biting Mark as much as possible.
Captain can charge Biting Mark through the following actions:
- Basic ATK 4th SEQ
- Weapon Active
- Ultimate Evasion
- QTE
[HOLD] ATK at 4th SEQ of Basic ATK to extend the ATK hits, each hit can restore 13 Biting Mark Value (a total of 221 Value)
Additionally, every 0.2s can restore 13 Biting Mark Value.
Basic ATK
[HOLD] Weapon Active will restore 20 Biting Mark Value for every 0.2s.
Weapon Active
Triggering Ultimate Evasion will restore 50 Biting Mark Value, during which Lunar Vow: Crimson Love would sprint if no other action performed, restoring 120 Biting Mark Value per second.
Ultimate Evasion
When Global Time Fracture is triggered, or enemy is hit by Weapon Active or Combo ATK, Lunar Vow: Crimson Love QTE will be triggered. During which can connect to Basic ATK 4th SEQ after entry and restores 13.5 Biting Mark Value (a total of 229.5 Value)
In addition, her QTE can also reduce the Switch CD by 4s.
QTE
SANGUINE FEAST
Tapping Weapon Active when having full Biting Mark will activate Sanguine Feast, triggering Global Time Fracture for 4s and Lunar Vow: Crimson Love will enter Frenzy State. During which, Elemental Breach and other buff effects will also be activated, and Luna will be getting a massive DMG boost.
It should be noted that when the Weapon Active is highlighted when sprinting or using Combo ATK, activating Sanguine Feast during this period will gain an additional 100% Total DMG Bonus. Additionally, when teammates with Paralyze or Bleed Tag uses Ultimate, will again gain an additional 8% Elemental Breach. Without this, Luna's DMG will drop to a considerable extent.
HUNTING TIME
After activating Sanguine Feast and entering Frenzy State, continuously tapping Weapon Active will consume Biting Mark to trigger Hunting Time. During which Lunar Vow: Crimson Love will gain Iron Body and DMG Reduction. While dealing a huge amount of DMG, with each hit inflicting 3 Bleed Trauma.
Therefore, this skill is Luna's main DMG source and one of the skill's that inflict great amount of Bleed Trauma, which is totally helpful to bosses with high Bleed requirements like Vill-V.
IN THE NAME OF PROTECTION
Triggers when Biting Mark is emptied or when holding Weapon Active during Frenzy State, during which enemies will gather in a large area while dealing DMG and exit Frenzy State after. It's DMG is regarded as Combo ATK and Weapon DMG.
DPS LINE-UP
Herrscher of Truth and Golden Diva is currently the most used line-up for Lightning Teams, and the DMG in the long run is also the highest. Truthnya can further increase the team's Elemental Breach aside from Luna's Self Breach, Miss Eden is also required to cast her Ultimate for an additional Breach. Overall, the team can provide SP for each other having a positive effect on the team's rotation.
SUPPORT LINE-UP
With the advantage of Lunar Vow: Crimson Love fast-paced rotation and Disciplinary Perdition compatibility with initiating of her Weapon Active, she is currently the Main DPS with highest compatibility with Lunar Vow: Crimson Love. Additionally, Disciplinary Perdition Ultimate's short duration perfectly fits with Lunar Vow: Crimson Love Breach duration.

DPS DUMMY TESTS COMPARISON
This test is done in fixed gears to the characters involved throughout the test using their Best in Slot gears and no ELF included, Gene Limits are OFF, no Emblem and Dorm Buffs are Max. Only included in the graph the ranks that greatly made an impact to the team's output.
- S0 Herrscher of Truth and SSS Golden Diva
As a result, Herrscher of Thunder can't keep with Lunar Vow: Crimson Love DMG output, and she will be resting in V7.0 Promise to Luna. Even in Superstring Dimensions, the difference in score between SSS Herrscher of Thunder and S Lunar Vow: Crimson Love is significantly noticeable.
SUPPORT DUMMY TESTS COMPARISON
This test is done in fixed gears to the characters involved throughout the test using their Best in Slot gears and no ELF included, Gene Limits are OFF, no Emblem and Dorm Buffs are Max. Only included in the graph the ranks that greatly made an impact to the team's output.
- S0 Disciplinary Perdition and SSS Golden Diva
- SS0 Infinite Ouroboros and SSS Golden Diva
As a result, Lunar Vow: Crimson Love provides much better DMG Bonuses and Multipliers than Herrscher of Truth. Captain can take a look at the Buffs we listed, even at Base Rank she already provides a lot of Lightning DMG Multipliers specifically other than providing Breach for Lightning DMG Teammates. Additionally, Lunar Vow: Crimson Love is also contributing a lot to Team's DMG even when she's Supporting other Lightning DPS.
To be fact, this is just a Dummy Test, currently Lunar Vow: Crimson Love won't be replacing Herrscher of Truth. Because Lunar Vow: Crimson Love is not compatible with Golden Diva in terms of rotation, and Herrscher of Truth still the best Lightning Support pick in Superstring Dimension.
ANALYSIS
SUPPORT BUFFS COMPARISON
Lunar Vow: Crimson Love has both Lightning DPS and Support capabilities, with an addition of Bleed characteristics. In terms of DPS, Luna relies on her Bleed effects, which was caused by a lot of Lightning DMG. In terms of Support, she provides Breach and SP Recovery, increases Team's DMG, has Background Bleed effect and other Buffs that can increase the overall DMG of the team.
Compared with Herrscher of Thunder, who has similar DMG Output and Typing, Lunar Vow: Crimson Love not only provides DPS capabilities like a regular DPS, but also has the ability to Support herself and increase the SP Recovery and the DMG of the whole team. Additionally, the team's rotation is better and faster, and with her Bleed Tag characteristics, she's able to handle Bleed Weathers.
It can be seen that Herrscher of Truth and Lunar Vow: Crimson Love have their own advantages and mostly the stats shows that Herrscher of Truth remains a better Lightning Support.
"Ehhh!? Then why the Dummy Test shows lower percentage?"
It is simply because like we have said earlier, Lunar Vow: Crimson Love not only does Supports but also became a Sub-DPS and mostly outdamages the Lightning DPS in the team. Additionally, Herrscher of Truth provides much larger SP compared to Lunar Vow: Crimson Love but the main problem is that Herrscher of Truth won't be able to enter Coolnya Mode in every rotation because of High SP requirement and since Exalted Abyss Disturbance increases thus extending the number of rotations required. However, Lunar Vow: Crimson Love Team SP might be a little but she's more consistent in maintaining the buffs she provides for the team.
TRUTH AND LUNA COMPARISON
The data shows that Luna is not much different from that of Truthnya, and even Truth still a little better. However, in actual combat it is found that other than consistent Buffs and DMG Multipliers provided, Lunar Vow: Crimson Love also comes in handy in terms of Team Rotation, and she is ~2s faster than Herrscher of Truth.
LUNA VERSATILITY
Lunar Vow: Crimson Love has a short Breach duration, which makes her fast-paced Team Rotation and currently she only works perfectly with Aponia. She also works decently with Mobius, but it still can't perform up to the maximum output; Mobius has still left time on her Ultimate while Luna's Buffs are gone.
Lunar Vow: Crimson Love also have restriction regarding Battlesuit Types, which makes her unable to support PSY-type Battlesuit to its maximum capabilities.
LUNA AFFIX TEST
Apparently, Lunar Vow: Crimson Love is much better with Lightning Affix than with Full ATK, it is because of her low base %DMG Multiplier making the Flat ATK Affix increase very minimal, and Elemental DMG Affix basically adds up to Base DMG. Also, each Lightning Affix is approximately equivalent to 3 ATK Affix. Another thing to note is that with Lightning Affix her Ultimate Slash hits has higher DMG compared with ATK Affix, but ATK Affix also increases her Ultimate's last hit. However, most of her DMG came from Weapon Active and Ultimate Slash Hits.
APPLICABLE BOSS
SUPERSTRING DIMENSION
Lunar Vow: Crimson Love is a PSY-type Lightning DPS and has an additional skill that enhances her DMG against MECH-type enemies. She is mainly used in Lightning Weathers especially on MECH-type enemies like, Bright Knight: Excelsis, RPC, etc.; and her Bleed Tag Characteristics makes her to be suitable for Bleed Weathers especially on Typeless enemies like, Cruising Tribunal, Vill-V, etc.
