Moonlight Blade Stats and Attack Types
Moonlight Blade is a powerful melee weapon in Armored Core 6 that unleashes blasting energy waves at enemies. The weapon has a two-hit combo string hit that has pretty good reach with a shorter distance but wider arc charge attack.
The two-hit combo targets two enemies standing close at once, giving you enough time to retarget again. If you want to aim for multiple enemies together, go for the charged attack; this attack maxes out at about 220m with a wide width impacting a larger area.
Now, moving to the stats, the weapon has an attack power of 615 and an impact of 495. The charged attack of Moonlight Blade exceeds any other weapon in AC6. The decent power of the Direct Hit Adjustment stat increases the damage against staggered enemies and the light PA Interference which makes it better at breaking down shields.
