Builds

Quick answer: A build in Belmont's Curse is your equipped Arcana combined with your weapon and relic. No finished builds are confirmed yet — full build guides arrive at launch.

How builds work

Your kit has three layers:

1. Weapon — the Vampire Killer whip and 7 weapon categories
2. Arcana — tarot-card abilities earned from defeated bosses
3. Relic — passive items like the confirmed Family's Grace

A "build" is the synergy between these — for example, a fast weapon paired with an Arcana that rewards aggression, versus a ranged kit with a defensive Arcana. The exact synergies will be mapped at launch.

What we're waiting to confirm

• The full Arcana list and each one's effect
• Which weapons pair best with which Arcana
• Whether relic choice meaningfully changes builds

When do build guides land?

Once the game is playable on October 15, we'll publish concrete builds for early-game, boss-specific and endgame setups. Bookmark this page.
