Hey guys I have a few questions.

I'm looking for someone that can help me piece together and translate my quote I want for a tattoo. How would I phrase and translate something like "there is no greater enemy the the self doubts of which some fall victim too"

Also I'm writing a short story just to have fun what's the translation for destroyer of moonlight? I think it would be an awesome weapon name!

Hello new person madriddmusic.
Welcome aboard.

I am not versed in the translations, but we have a few here who will no doubt chime in soon to help you.

Being a minor bit of a linguist however, I might suggest you consider a little bit of change to your quote if I may.
Make "doubt" singluar (dropping the 's') so it matches the common "self doubt" and then dropping the "of which" - an unnecessary additive.

Then you have the succinct

"there is no greater enemy than the self doubt some fall victim to"

Or even simpler:

"There is no greater enemy than self doubt." (whether some or many or all fall victim to it is the self doubt that is the focus and danger.)

Just some thoughts...
Thanks for coming aboard. We hope you'll stay with us so we can learn from you.
