Builds in Mortal Shell 2
9 loadouts, each one a Shell, a Seal, a weapon, a sidearm and the Tarstones that actually fit them. Every stone named on these pages is checked against the compatibility list of the gear it is recommended for, so nothing here sends you looking for a socket that does not exist — and if you would rather work the other way round, the Tarstone chart lists the whole matrix.

How to read these
Tarstones are listed in priority order rather than slot order — take them in the sequence given as you find them, and the build behaves sensibly at every stage rather than only at the end. Shell-slot stones fit whatever else you are carrying, so those two picks survive any change of weapon.
Each page ends with what the build is bad at, because every one of them is bad at something. If a loadout looks like it has no downside, the downside is simply one you have not met yet.
