Crimson Moon Frost Build Test Framework

What is the starting Frost pair?

Use Crescent Moon Halberd + Winter Solstice as the primary pair to verify. wiki.gg revision 1078 records the halberd as a Polearm with Winter Solstice, and the Weapon Arts page describes Winter Solstice as a Frost-producing attack. That establishes a catalog relationship, not a performance advantage.

If the halberd is not available, the same weapon revision records two sword alternatives with Winter Sun:

• Revenant Blade + Winter Sun
• Sword of the Lunar Sentinel + Winter Sun

Their unlock sources are not listed in the checked revision. Do not infer a drop, vendor, mission, or boss source from those blanks.

Which Frost Boon triggers can you test?

The wiki.gg Boons page records several Frost-related trigger patterns. This framework keeps only the qualitative trigger type and omits all numerical values:

Boon record	Trigger type to verify	What remains unknown here
Aegis of Frost	Block-triggered	Output, scaling, cooldown, and practical value
Judgment of Winter	Heavy-Attack-triggered	Output, consistency, and weapon interaction
Absolution in Ice	Freeze-plus-Marked conditional	Order of operations, output, and encounter value

Choose one trigger you already use consistently. Confirm the exact in-game wording, record the current patch and platform, and test whether the interaction occurs. Do not assume that stacking more Frost labels improves results.

A cautious loadout workflow

1. Confirm the chosen weapon is available in your Loadout.
2. Confirm the displayed Weapon Art matches the complete Weapons table.
3. Select one Boon whose trigger can be reproduced without changing several variables at once.
4. Record a baseline attempt, then change only that Boon or Art.
5. Keep the result as a personal test note until another run reproduces it.

Use Build Planner to preserve the setup, Boon Synergy Finder to see only explicit recorded relationships, and Combat and Weapon Arts for the official system boundary.

What is Not verified?

Performance, DPS, attack speed, Frost output, status thresholds, uptime, survivability, difficulty scaling, and boss matchups are Not verified. The framework does not rank Crescent Moon Halberd above the two sword alternatives and does not claim any Frost Boon is stronger than another.
