The Lunar New Year update in Jujutsu Infinite is one of those smaller “grind-focused” events that doesn’t completely change the game, but it absolutely gives you enough reasons to log in daily. It adds a new boss, a limited gear set, a fresh weapon, and a currency system that works very similarly to previous seasonal events.
At first glance it might not look huge, but once you actually start farming it, you realize this update is mostly about stacking rewards efficiently rather than exploring brand-new mechanics.
So if you want to understand what’s actually worth doing — and what you can ignore — this breakdown will help.
The New Lunar Event Boss
The centerpiece of the update is the new Lunar boss, which spawns through a portal that appears roughly once every hour. It follows the same system as past event bosses, meaning you need to be ready when the portal shows up or you’ll miss your chance until the next cycle.
The fight itself isn’t mechanically complicated, but the boss has extremely high health compared to most event enemies. That’s what makes the encounter feel longer rather than harder.
One of the most noticeable differences during this fight is that you cannot use your Domain, which forces you to rely entirely on dodging, positioning, and raw skill damage. This makes the fight feel more like a traditional action encounter instead of a burst-damage race.
Once the boss drops below half health, it starts throwing wider area attacks, but they’re still fairly easy to avoid if you stay mobile.
Defeating the boss rewards multiple chests along with Lunar currency items called Lucky Boughs.
Lucky Boughs and Event Currency
Lucky Boughs work exactly like previous seasonal currencies, meaning you collect them by defeating the event boss and then exchange them in the event shop.
This system is straightforward, but the important part is consistency. Since the boss spawns on a timer, the best way to farm efficiently is simply to participate in every spawn cycle you can catch.
Over time, these boughs allow you to unlock event gear, consumables, and other limited rewards.
New Lunar Event Items
The update introduces a full Lunar gear set, and most of these pieces provide small but useful bonuses rather than game-breaking effects.
Some items boost experience gain, which is great for leveling sessions, while others provide defensive bonuses like reduced damage from ranged attacks. There are also minor utility perks, such as receiving alerts when enemies rush you, though not every item is considered equally valuable.
One of the more interesting consumables is the Lunar Fireworks item, which drops red envelopes that can provide extra rewards.
There’s also a purple envelope item that increases your luck for your next chest opening, making it extremely useful when farming for rare drops.
The Spear of the Impaler (New Weapon)
The highlight of the update is definitely the new weapon, the Spear of the Impaler. It comes with a unique moveset that focuses heavily on mobility, range control, and combo potential.
Its abilities allow you to summon clones for extended attacks, perform wide AoE slams, and launch ranged strikes that can hit enemies both up close and from a distance.
One of its strongest features is its ability to function as both a combo extender and an aggressive pressure tool. You can chain attacks smoothly without leaving large openings, which makes it particularly useful in sustained fights.
Overall, it’s a very flexible weapon that fits well into both PvE grinding and boss combat.
Lunar Strike Skill
Another major addition is the Lunar Strike ability, which you unlock by defeating the event boss.
This skill acts as a ranged attack with multiple hits, allowing players to maintain pressure from a safe distance. Its quick wind-up time makes it easy to integrate into existing combos, and it works well as both an opener and a finisher.
Because of its versatility, this skill quickly becomes one of the most useful additions from the event.
Best Ways to Farm the Event
The key to progressing quickly in this update is simply staying consistent with boss spawns.
Since the boss appears on a timer, the most efficient strategy is to join every spawn you can rather than grinding nonstop between them. Over time, this steady farming approach yields far better results than trying to rush everything in a single session.
Using luck-boosting consumables before opening event chests also increases your chances of getting rare rewards.
