In Nighttime Form, Glynsera becomes an Ice/Dark Nova-stage DPS. It retains the standard form’s Ice Debuff tools and gains Night Slash as well. Since daylight prevents it from appearing, begin any acquisition method by opening the time wheel and selecting Nighttime.
Quick answer: Set the clock to Nighttime, then either catch 8 Bonesky in a row in Rosetower Woods, or defeat Beast Fang Ridge’s Lv. 32 Old Recas to start catchable spawns in its cave.
What you need before the hunt
Neither wild option requires endgame progress. You can reach Beast Fang Ridge early in the story, where the area sits at levels 20 to 25, although its cave encounter is a Lv. 32 elite. Rosetower Woods, located in Breezy Plains, offers the higher-level route and does not require a boss battle.
- Nighttime on the clock. Daytime produces no spawns in either location.
- Use Anipods to catch it. A wild Glynsera (Nighttime Form) has a base catch chance of 25%.
- An Anipod Ultra if you want the catch locked in once the battle ends.
- The Warrior journey quest, The Legend of Thousand-Fang Ridge, for the Beast Fang Ridge route.
- 3 Freeze Stones and a Nighttime Bonesky for the evolution route.
Fire, Wind and Holy attacks deal 1.6x damage to Glynsera (Nighttime Form), while break damage and backstabs deal 1.5x. Using one of those elements can greatly reduce the time needed to capture it.
Rosetower Woods: Catch 8 Bonesky in a row
After night falls, a group of Nighttime Bonesky can be found on a Rosetower Woods ridge. Catch eight from that group in a chain, and Glynsera appears to protect them. The Nighttime Form entry in the index also states this requirement directly.
Beast Fang Ridge: Defeat Old Recas to unlock the spawn
This method is tied to the Warrior journey quest. Its clues point toward Old Recas, an aged Glynsera (Nighttime Form) hidden inside a cave on the ridge’s north side near the Frigid Waters Sanctum. Old Recas is not capturable, so defeat it; afterward, a Glynsera that can be caught starts appearing in that cave.
Old Recas dies once and never returns. The ordinary catchable form comes back every night, so you can repeat the noon-to-night cycle for extra attempts or a better roll.
Evolution route: Nighttime Bonesky to Nighttime Glynsera
If the wild encounters will not cooperate, raise one from the beginning of its line instead. Set the clock to Nighttime for both evolutions, with the final evolution requiring Freeze Stones.
| Evolution | Level | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Nighttime Bonesky → Nighttime Fenrier | Lv. 24 | Must be nighttime |
| Nighttime Fenrier → Nighttime Glynsera | Lv. 34 | Nighttime, Freeze Stone x3 |
Since wild Glynsera can spawn in two locations, catching one directly is usually faster than leveling into it. Evolution is most useful when a Nighttime Bonesky is already in your party and gaining experience.
How to confirm the catch registered
The capture registers automatically as soon as it succeeds. The Anilog card for No. 044 Glynsera (Nighttime Form) then appears, identifying it as Nova Stage and DPS and listing Hustle as its mobility skill; the creature is also placed in storage. In Animo Management, you can rotate its 3D model, view the Star Up preview, or add it immediately to your battle party.
Pursuing a flawless specimen takes additional effort. Using a Sparkling Cube guarantees a Perfect Sparkling Nighttime Form Glynsera, making it a worthwhile target for long-term investment because wild Sparkling variants have a base appearance rate of 1 in 20,000.
Glynsera (Nighttime Form) stats, trait, and skills
| Stat | Value |

 HP | 95 |

Biting Wind increases the Crit Rate of its damage by 15% when the target has more than 5 Ice Debuff stacks. Since much of its kit applies those stacks, the trait generally remains active after combat gets underway. At base, its Homeland abilities are Carry Lv. 3, Ice Lv. 3 and Dark Lv. 2.
Frost Tail Strike is the payoff button, flipping forward into a tail slam that can eat 10 stacks of Ice Debuff for 85% extra damage. Ice Strikes puts 5 stacks back on the target, and the Ultimate, Ice Tornado, turns it into an icy tornado that attacks continuously.
Boomerang Blade builds the stacks needed to power Biting Wind. The skill has 39 power, costs 20 EP, and uses a 1 second cooldown. Since it consumes energy throughout the blade’s spin, press the skill button a second time to recall it after you have enough stacks.
Night Slash is the Dark half of the toolkit and the one the standard Glynsera does not get. It steps forward and releases 3 shadow blades for 55 power at 20 EP, silencing the target for 4 seconds, and sits on a 15 second cooldown.
Prismana Slash rounds out the kit with a Holy hit: a lunge and spin that creates a magic field firing 3 light blades for 3 hits, at 55 power for 20 EP on a 1 second cooldown.
Once it is in your party you have a front-line attacker whose damage builds as the fight goes on rather than arriving all at once, which suits long encounters more than quick clears. Outside combat, Hustle covers ground fast in the overworld, and parking it in the Homeland puts it to work cooling the base and hauling stored produce.
