Expeditions

The Moonless Court of Nyxhaven

The third expedition destination — a frozen island court where the Moonwell copies every warrior, so your hunts meet Echoes of real players at your own level.

The Moonless Court of Nyxhaven

The third expedition destination. A frozen island kingdom far to the east of Valestia. Queen Seraphine cursed her court to duel forever so she would never run out of champions — and the palace Moonwell still copies every warrior who lands. Here your hunts meet Echoes: full copies of real Guardians at your own level. Sail here from Ravennor.

Moon phases

The moon changes every 6 hours, counted from the start of the launch. The phase decides how often you meet an Echo, how many Court Marks a hunt pays, and which Pokemax walk the halls. An Echo is never weakened by the phase — the moon only changes how often one appears.

Echoes

When a hunt meets an Echo, the Moonwell picks a real player within ±2 levels of you (widening to ±5 if nobody fits) — never you. The Echo copies everything that player carries: base stats, gear, enhance levels and weapon, including its Active Skill. Nothing is scaled down; the balance comes from the level window. If nobody is close enough, a court NPC takes its place.

🪞 Tribute. Every time your Echo defeats another hunter, the Moonwell pays you +1 Court Mark — up to 3 per day, and only once you have visited Nyxhaven yourself. A hunter who goes AFK earns you nothing.

The Queen's Trial

Beneath the throne, Queen Seraphine guards Selunara, the eclipse moth of the Moonwell, and yields it only to a trainer who beats her in a formal duel. Open it from the Trial panel; the fight runs as a public thread in the expedition channel.

One-time victory, unlimited retries. Register exactly three Pokemax; your HP and Move Uses carry in and stay saved, so heal between attempts.

🦋 First-victory reward: Selunara — Moonbound at Level 30 (genes HP 12 · ATK 12 · DEF 12 · SPD 12), plus 5 Court Marks and 1,500 OIL.

Selunara's kit. A unique Dark all-rounder. Its signature Eclipse Dust (Dark, 80 power) has a 25% chance to put the target to sleep, and its passive Eclipse Veil fires once at 50% HP or less: it heals 12% max HP, raises SPD a stage and softens the next hit by 20%. Under a Full Moon the heal rises to 18% and it also raises ATK a stage.

Successful hunts pay Court Marks instead of materials. Spend them here; several items are capped per expedition.

Recipes: the Crown & the Rapier

Unlike the other expeditions, Nyxhaven does not sell its gear and weapon ready-made. You buy the recipe with Court Marks, then craft the item at the forge with a lot of OIL and materials. Moonwell Glass and Queen's Silk are capped at 4 each per expedition, so finishing a recipe takes at least two voyages.

👑 Mirrored Crown — gear · +1 STR, +1 AGI, +1 CON, +15 max HP. Its passive, Mirrored Majesty, answers a stronger opponent: when combat starts, for each of STR, AGI and CON where the strongest enemy beats you, you gain +1 in that stat, up to 2 stats. It checks each stat against whichever living enemy is highest in it.

Bonus on the largest gap+1+2

The +3 step raises the cap to 3 stats and +5 doubles the bonus on the largest gap. The +4 and +5 steps also cost Moonwell Glass.

🤺 Mirrorbound Rapier — weapon · +2 STR, +1 AGI. Its active Borrowed Reflection (once per combat, one target) strikes for 80%. If an enemy has already fallen (the strongest one is chosen), or the target is left at 40% HP or less, the Moonwell raises a Reflection of it on your side at the end of the round. The Reflection has 40% of the copied fighter's STR, AGI, CON and max HP, keeps its gear effects but never its weapon, and fights on its own for 3 rounds. If no Reflection can form, the Active Skill is not spent.

Each +1 adds +4% copied stats and +5 extends the Reflection to 4 rounds. The +4 and +5 steps cost Queen's Silk. A Reflection grants no kills or rewards, and it fades if it is the last one standing on your team. Summons are off in tournaments, Tag Team, free-for-all and a few event modes.

🌑 This is the third expedition destination, alongside the Sunken Fang Archipelago and The Hollowstar Crater.
