To setup, first, we need to create the Moon Phase actions (0-7).

And then, set up their behavior:

You can actually setup a common event that happens when the moon phase is set to that level. This way, you can create TONS of things in it. You don't have to heavily event it. I know how load of work that is.

Next, we can have the States that activates to the tagged actors.

There is an AI hook for the ATK and AGI for the enemies too. If you are not satisfied with just the ATK and AGI, you might as well go for the better plugin I made here for a better enemy. 

Lastly, the Phase image. This way, you can draw your own and then use it as the moon phase image.
