What Happens When You Die in Crimson Moon?
Learn the verified difference between lost run progress and retained permanent progression when a Crimson Moon mission fails.
Does death reset everything?
No. Official support separates what is lost in a failed mission from what remains as permanent progress. This page avoids an exhaustive item-by-item claim because reward behavior can change.
What is safer to treat as permanent?
Purified Armory equipment and permanent hub upgrades are the durable progression systems described by official support. See Gear and Purification and Sanctus Clypeus.
How should you plan a risky mission?
Review Missions and the War Table, understand How Runs Work, and use Build Fundamentals before raising difficulty.
