The first added Descendant to join The First Descendant comes in the form of Luna, the adorable musical fighter who’s sure to pack a punch on missions.
So, once you’ve unlocked your chosen starter character, or decided to stray away from the likes of Bunny, Ajax, Valby, or another fantastic fighter, you may want to pick up the newest kid on the block, Luna. However, as it goes with plenty of Descendants, they can be pretty tough to unlock.
So, with that in mind, here’s how to unlock Luna in The First Descendant.
How to get Luna in The First Descendant
Players can get hold of Luna by either purchasing her from the in-game store for 900 Caliber, which costs around $15, or they can head over to Magister Anais and begin working to Research her.
If you’d prefer to get her for free, then you’ll need some research items and plenty of gold. So, to help you prepare, we’ve listed the necessary materials below:
As a note, to find out how to get the items, you can press the Acquisition Info prompt and it will tell you the item’s location.
All Luna’s necessary materials are listed below:
Luna Enhances Cells
- x430 Silicon
- x554 Carbon Crystal
- x40 Pure Energy Residue
- x1 Luna Enhanced Cells Blueprint

Luna has a variety of skills to use in combat, focusing primarily on support. Here’s a rundown of all her skills:
- Improvisation (Passive): Using any skill increases Inspiration Gauge, which lets Luna use Enhanced Skills.
- Stage Presence: Using the skill changes Luna’s weapon to her Unique Weapon. Performing the notes in time to the music by using skills or hitting monsters stacks and increases her Skill Power Modifier.
- Passionate Stage: Using this skill makes Luna play upbeat music, increasing the Skill Power Modifier of Luna and her allies. Gaining the Enhanced Effect increases the Skill Power Modifier even more and also increases the Skill Critical Hit Rate and damage of allies.
- Relaxing Act: Using the skill makes Luna play relaxing music. Hitting the enemy with a note grants an effect that instantly recovers the MP of Luna and her allies. Gaining the Enhanced Effect increases MP Recovery, and reduces Skill Cost.
- Delightful Stage: Using the skill makes Luna play delightful music. Hitting the enemy with a note increases Inspiration Gauge and decreases the skill cooldown of allies. Gaining the Enhanced Effect increases the Inspiration Gauge even more and immediately resets the cooldown of allies.
On top of her skills, Luna has two Modification Modules. They’ve been listed below:
- Nimble Footsteps: Enhances Luna’s mobility and amplifies the effect range of her performance, allowing for more effective ally support.
- Noise Surge: Transforms Luna from a supporter to a combat dealer. Dashes towards enemies in rhythm, dealing damage to nearby enemies. When the inspiration gauge is full, summons a stage to recover mental strength and shields. Provide enemies with a terrifying musical experience with Noise Surge!
