This is probably common knowledge at this point, but its synergy with the brightshade staff is extremely powerful.
Mobs that are stationary/stunlockable get pelted with so much AOE damage (51 or 38.25PHY + 12.75PLA) that it's absolutely insane lunacy!
It goes from 10 dmg per ricochet to like 61 (I didn't calculate this so it's purely a guess)!

I may be biased since inimical gestalts never spawn for me (probably a bug with Reign of Runts?)
I included the Spider Queen example as Wortox could probably do something similar with his Lunar Swindler perk.

Bright shade staff got nerfed because of inimical gestalts, as there’s always a chance of them getting hit by a bounce. It’s especially unfortunate when fighting off moon birds in the storm, since they are always present even without the crown.

The upgraded crown is cool and all but it's so....lame, I just think it's so extremely lame that I can't care for it, all it does is give you max enlightenment, that's all. And it adds a really annoying screen filter :/

And it's pretty much the ONLY reward for the final lunar boss... Aside from terramites I guess.

I'd love to get it... if the missiles attack from Warbot wasn't so broken and insufferable. Tried the ice crystallizer, it got destroyed by one the billion attacks Warbot does. Tried the ice amulet, but put it on too late so the missiles still got me. Tried teleporting around, they still instantly go in reverse and hit. I don't get who thought it was a good idea to make this attack literally infinite, Warbot spawns 6 aimbot missiles every second, without some specific key and lock almost cheese method it's impossible to get through this phase, or even to not be one shot. 

It's a really underwhelming reward for how difficult and dangerous Scion is. Sure permanent light is cool, but that's already been a thing since 2021 when CC first got released. The planar damage is neat, but why wasn't this just a part of the regular crown? It's an item you get mere moments after activating lunar rifts, you'd think it'd be capable of helping deal with the new planar threats, but no (and yes, planar didn't exist yet, but klei still could've gone and updated it).

I'm trying to come up with interesting or unique use cases for the upgraded crown, but the only one that really comes to mind is to use it as a replacement for the bee queen crown during the fuelweaver fight. Maybe it's just me, but for the ultimate endgame reward for doing all the lunar questline nonsense, I was hoping for something new and unique with lots of fun and interesting uses. 

also the lunacy filter sucks, especially in winter/summer

Honestly I feel like the only things holding it back are the lunacy filter (doesn't bother me personally, although it'd be nice to be able to turn it off) and the inimical gestalts that spawn around you while you're wearing it.

Inimical gestalts are absurdly tanky for how many spawn (up to four with the crown on) and how much they teleport. If they got their health lowered from 2000 to 500, it'd be a bit more reasonable dealing with 4 aggroing onto you all at once just because a brightshade staff shot tapped one of them (which is another issue they have right now).

Its reward is never losing sanity, but thats basically given to you with the bone helm with isn't a post rift final bosses reward, just a final before rift one
