You can craft, farm, date, and even get married in Moonlight Peaks, but most importantly, you can play an exclusive card minigame with most of the NPCs in the game. Defeating an opponent also rewards you with a new card that can further enhance your customized deck to defeat even tougher opponents in the game. Here we will take a look at how Nokturna works in Moonlight Peaks, all Nokturna card sets, and the ways to obtain them.
How does Nokturna work in Moonlight Peaks
You will be introduced to the Nokturna minigame by Dragan. You can decide to play by choosing the option Invite. Then the game will begin; you will be allowed to pick the Starter Deck or Test. Test is more of an information on how the game plays out; Starter Deck is the first Nokturna card set you are given to start your card game journey.
A single Nokturna deck contains 20 cards, and you are allowed to carry 2 copies of the same card in the deck. Each card has a point attached to it; the maximum number of points for the deck is capped at 60. So when you are trying to create a perfect deck, be sure to keep every one of these points in mind. The game does allow you to create custom decks, but you are limited to having only 13 custom decks saved in the game.
Rules for Nokturna
Here are the basic rules for Nokturna
- A single match of Nokturna lasts for 3 rounds.
- A single round has three turns
- Your hand starts with 5 cards from your deck.
- The first to win two rounds out of 3 takes the victory.
Tips to win in Nokturna in Moonlight Peaks
It’s all about having a bigger number than your opponent. You can keep track of the number stats on the left side of the screen or HUD. The goal is to have the maximum number of points than your opponent before the timer ends on the round, just like how Gwent worked in Witcher III: Wild Hunt.
Compiling points is the way to win the game, but there is more going on in the background. While all cards have a specific number attached to them, they also have effects. For example, the card Loyal Wolf, it offers 4 points, and its perk allows the card (Loyal Wolf) to return to the hand once the round ends. So once the Loyal Wolf is set on the table, whether you win or lose, you will get the card back to your deck to be used again.
These perks are the game-changer for the Nokturna minigame; being aware of the perks and how they suit your card gameplay is the way to grab the victory in this minigame.
Tips for Building a Nokturna Deck
Here are some helpful tips to create a perfect deck in the game.
- When you are setting up a deck, make sure the overall point for the deck gets close to 60; keep it between 50 and 60, so your deck will be worthwhile for the challenge.
- Don’t spend your budget getting the expensive cards; try for the lower-point cards.
- Don’t try to add a little of everything when you are setting up the deck; just stick to one or two card families. Building a card set around werewolf or vampire, or animal will be the perfect pace.
