@JeremyECrawford "When a creature enters the spells area for the first time on a turn". What does this mean in relation to moonbeam?

Moonbeam is meant to get you when you enter the light (not when it passes over you) or start your turn in it. #DnD https://t.co/f5fyucucqn

@KhellionDaxI’m with Critical on this one. What makes Moonbeam different from other spells where is says at the start of your turn? I'm not sure what you're asking. Moonbeam does, indeed, get you if you start your turn in the light.

@JeremyECrawford Sorry for the necro! But here I go: Does this also apply to, say, spirit guardians? I mean, if a cleric runs around the battle field it counts as just passing over and not entering?
