Crimson Moon builds, gear and progression

How do builds and progression work in Crimson Moon?

Crimson Moon has no traditional classes. Builds combine nine gear pieces, Weapon Arts, temporary Boons and Angel powers; Nexus Gates grant Boons during a run, Lore Scrolls unlock Boons through Mereda, and successful hunts let players Purify equipment permanently.

The nine equipment slots are four armour pieces, two trinkets, a one-handed weapon and shield, and a two-handed weapon. This supports deliberate loadout mixing rather than a fixed class path.

Which equipment slots and powers make a build?

A best build needs item tooltips, slots, values, upgrade costs and a known patch; those are not in the current official set. Official material does not yet provide every item tooltip, stat roll, upgrade cost, drop location, patch balance value, or a defensible best-build ranking.

How to use this information

Judge a build by the weapon style and Boon synergy you can verify in-game, then Purify equipment you want available for later hunts.
