Beginner's Guide: Sun-Moon

Dear Wanderers!Welcome to the complete Beginner's guide to Sun-Moon! Here, you learn everything you need to know about this intimidating group of warriors! This guide will walk you through each aspect of this sect and help you understand how to play as Sun-Moon. Get ready to immerse yourself into the world of ruthless combat!

History of the Sect
Sun-Moon is a mysterious sect with a renowned history dating back to ancient times.  Its disciples are trained in the art of combat using special dual swords, allowing them to masterfully fight both at a distance and in close distance.

However, this fighting style requires not only agility and speed but also ruthless self-sacrifice, as each strike and movement depletes their energy and life force. 

Recent events have tarnished the sect's reputation due to rumors about the former sect leader, who allegedly lost his sanity and disappeared after beginning to practice a forbidden technique. Various versions of his disappearance exist—some say he was consumed by darkness, while others believe he was controlled by an external will. For the disciples of the Sun-Moon sect, this has become a challenge and a test, forcing them to reflect on moral principles and the boundaries between good and evil.


Sect Features
The main role of Sun-Moon sect members is to use dual swords and self-sacrifice techniques.Feature:  When fighting enemies, Sun-Moon Disciples can activate Sacred Flame and comprehensively increase their abilities at the cost of burning their HP.
