Crescent Moon is a Diablo 2 Resurrected Runeword created by combining Shael + Um + Tir into 3 socket Axe, Sword or Polearm. It requires at least level 47 to equip. Crescent Moon was first released in patch 1.10.

Because of the massive reduced enemy lightning resistance, Crescent Moon is useful for Lightning Sorceresses and Holy Shock Paladins.
