Who uses Crescent Moon
Crescent Moon is a three-socket runeword for axes, swords, or polearms, using Shael, Um, and Tir. Its defining feature is the reduction of enemy lightning resistance, which pairs well with lightning-based skills. The chance to cast static field on striking helps lower enemy health quickly, especially for fast attackers. It also provides increased attack speed, enhanced damage, ignore target's defense, and open wounds. With a level requirement of 47, it suits characters in the later stages of the game, particularly lightning sorceresses or paladins using holy shock. It is not ladder-only, so it can be made on any realm.
