Nocturne's Curtain Call GUIDE
Understand Nocturne's Curtain Call
Useful when…
- A Lunar-reaction damage dealer who can trigger or deal Lunar Reaction DMG.
- A wielder who values both the weapon’s HP increase and its periodic Energy restoration.
Base and triggered effects
At R1, Max HP increases by 10%. Triggering Lunar reactions or inflicting Lunar Reaction DMG grants 14 Energy and activates Bountiful Sea’s Sacred Wine for 12 seconds: Max HP rises by another 14%, and CRIT DMG from Lunar Reaction DMG increases by 60%. Energy recovery can occur at most once every 18 seconds and can trigger while the wielder is off-field. Higher refinements raise each value, reaching 18 Energy, 22% additional HP, and 140% Lunar Reaction CRIT DMG at R5; the base HP increase reaches 18%.
What the condition means in practice
The trigger is tied to Lunar reactions or Lunar Reaction DMG. The CRIT DMG increase is explicitly limited to Lunar Reaction DMG, so do not apply it to unrelated damage. The temporary effect lasts 12 seconds, while the Energy restoration has its own 18-second limit; the recovery interval should not be confused with the duration of the HP and CRIT DMG effect.
Ascension and refinement
Ascension advances through stage 6. Refinement uses another copy and improves the HP, Energy recovery, and Lunar Reaction CRIT DMG values. Because those gains are tied to Lunar mechanics, prioritize refinement when the wielder can trigger the effect and use the Lunar Reaction damage bonus; ascension is the separate weapon progression.
Compare by role
A Thousand Floating Dreams shares the catalyst type but instead grants party-composition-dependent buffs and Elemental Mastery to teammates. Angelos’ Heptades is triggered by shield creation and can restore Energy, while Apprentice’s Notes has no secondary stat or listed passive. Their effects are not direct substitutes for Nocturne’s Lunar-specific bonuses.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its large CRIT DMG increase is restricted to Lunar Reaction DMG.
- Energy recovery is limited to once every 18 seconds.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Applying the Lunar Reaction CRIT DMG bonus to all damage dealt.
- Treating the 12-second effect duration as the Energy recovery interval.
