No profile uses a placeholder image. Reusable entity art was unavailable for this documented set, so each entry remains fully readable as text.
Choose a Weapon Role
Start with the slot structure. Crimson Moon supports either a one-handed weapon with a shield or a two-handed weapon. That first choice determines whether defensive access belongs in the active setup. Then compare reach, damage role, Weapon Art, and Boon among candidates that fit the chosen structure.
For direct defense, the Crimson Oath Shield and Tarnished Wooden Shield both list Shield Bash. For a distinct damage profile, Soldier's Hammer is the documented crushing option while the other weapons with listed damage profiles are slashing. For explicit Art and Boon pairings, Champion's Sword, Obsidian Shard, and Recantation each publish both fields.
How weapon choices fit a complete build
See the official loadout overview for one-handed weapons, shields, two-handed options, Weapon Arts, Boons, and coherent build planning.
Use the build synergy checklist after choosing a weapon direction. A shield-focused setup also benefits from the parry timing and recovery routine, while the launch armor set comparison helps align permanent defense and damage bonuses.
Acquire and Keep Weapons
Weapons and shields can drop during missions. A useful drop becomes a permanent future loadout option after purification, so acquisition has two checkpoints: find the item during a hunt, then confirm that it enters the permanent armory.
The current documented index does not publish a unique drop location or unlock source for every entry. When a named weapon appears, judge it from the verified fields shown here, then follow the loot retention and purification sequence to protect it across future hunts.
Fix a Bad Loadout Match
| Symptom | Likely mismatch | Next check |
|---|---|---|
| The setup needs active defense | A two-handed direction may not provide the intended shield access | Rebuild around a one-handed weapon and one of the two documented shields |
| Two swords feel indistinguishable | Their shared slashing profile hides the deciding field | Compare Weapon Art and Boon before assuming the same role |
| The build lacks a documented active Art | The selected basic entry lists no Weapon Art | Compare another weapon in the same group with a named Art |
| A desired status plan has no listed support | The current entry has no documented Boon | Check entries such as Obsidian Shard, Champion's Sword, or Recantation with named Boons |
| A named weapon cannot be targeted reliably | Its unique acquisition source is not published in the current scope | Keep progressing through mission drops and purify it when found |
What the Documented Scope Can Confirm
The directory represents all 13 rows visible in the English launch-period index on September 2, 2026. That index is marked work in progress. The page can confirm each listed name, type, damage profile, Weapon Art, and Boon, plus the general mission-drop and purification path.
It cannot confirm a unique acquisition source, complete moveset, exact reach value, or full build prescription for every entry. Those missing fields stay out of the profiles so the searchable list remains useful without implying a complete lifetime roster.
