Bad Moon

Bad Moon is a special Hardcore ascension type, appearing on one's character sheet and Ascension history as a special Zodiac sign. In order to access it, the previous run must have been Hardcore within NS13 and must not have encountered any ten-leaf clover adventure.

Instead of receiving a disassembled clover and rewards from one's previous ascension, players receive a big rock and a smoldering box (containing their rewards). Previously acquired permanent skills are not accessible, and the player begins without a terrarium, requiring all desired familiars to be re-earned. In addition, various "unlucky" things will happen to the adventurer in certain places during the run.

The general theme in Bad Moon is one of "give-and-take." The Brimstone rewards all have negative effects to balance the positive. The unique skills acquired during Bad Moon runs also have positive and negative effects. The special "Bad Moon only" adventures also have a good and bad effect. This results in having a sudden new weakness and strength for a few turns after getting hit with one of the new effects, making for a very different gameplay experience.
