Full moon attacks from the Awakened form do not increase the split count of the bonuses from enhancements and Growth.
Level 5's increase is actually 30%, as opposed to the stated 20% in the description.
Unlike the base attack, full moon from the Awakened upgrade does not count as melee and can benefit from Focus Shades.

Activating Moon Goddess creates an explosion that deals damage to enemies within a large area around Moona and knocks them back as she transforms into her True Moon Goddess form.
Moona gains 100% ATK and SPD while in True Moon Goddess form.
True Moon Goddess changes her main attack into a stationary wide area-slashing attack, dealing 2x Crescent Moon's damage. The attack otherwise has the same properties as Crescent Moon, as well as benefits from level up bonuses and all other effects that apply to Crescent Moon.
Moon Goddess lasts for 12 seconds.
The initial explosion benefits from Focus Shades, but slashes do not.

Moon Song is able to pull large targets into itself, including Bosses.
The moon theming of Moona's moveset (Crescent Moon, Moon Goddess, and Moon Song) is a reference to Moona's moon-and-stars visual theming that would later become her unofficial lore of being a moon goddess.
According to her official lore, Moona is just a (now graduated) uni student,[1] but her diva-like singing voice,[2] her High Tide MV,[3] and her performance at the 3rd HoloFes[4] popularized the Moon Goddess persona among fans.
In her Holo no Graffiti debut, Moona stated that she is an "indie goddess" of the moon, even using her powers to convert La+ Darknesss's horns into styrofoam.[5] However, it is not known whether it should be taken as a confirmation that Moona is indeed a goddess.
Hoshinova & Moona is a reference to Moona's two opposite personalities, the motherly and casual Moona vs. the sadistic and domineering Hoshinova. Originally, fans used Hoshinova to refer to any moment where Moona became unhinged or angry, such during the Piggy Bank Incident[6] or during her GTA V stream.[7] When the Moon Goddess Moona concept became more popular, fans began to associate it with the existing Hoshinova lore.
Moon Goddess is likely based on Moona's High Tide animated music video with her appearance being based on the "Goddess" Hoshinova, while her attack is based on the "Hero" Moona.[3]
Moon Song is a reference to Moona's popular MoonUtau (MoonaSinging) unarchived singing streams, where she would spend hours singing mostly English Pop music.
Lunar Construction is a reference to Moona's Minecraft skill and her connection with Usada Pekora's Usada Construction (Usaken).
During the period when Pekora was taking a break from Minecraft, Moona would continue building under the Usaken banner, continuing the technological evolution within the HoloJP Minecraft server even after the big two construction companies (Usaken/Akukin) went on hiatus.[8] When the HoloID server was later opened, Moona was one of the founding members and became the teacher for Hololive ID members, resulting in the ID Server being noted for being the most technologically advanced and aesthetically cohesive of the three hololive Minecraft Servers.[9] The design of HoloCure's Lunar Rabbits being mechanical bunnies likely alludes to Moona's technological prowess in Minecraft.
Lunar Rabbits are a reference to the association of the Pekora-Moona relationship with the Sino-Asian mythology of the Moon Rabbit and the Moon Goddess. In the myth, the rabbits are either subordinates or friends of the Moon Goddess, while in hololive, Moona is the subordinate of the rabbit (princess) Pekora.[10]
Moona is currently the only hololive Indonesia character whose eyes in her icon are clearly looking to the left. (See Character List for comparison). Before Kiryu Coco was added, she was the only one at all.
Playing as Moona changes the name of Stolen Piggy Bank to "Retrieved Piggy Bank".
