Quick answer

Moonlighter 2's Early Access description includes nearly 100 shop and dungeon perks. Official updates also name three themed combat paths: Hex spreads a damaging curse, Poison grows stronger as it ticks, and Bomb marks enemies for a later detonation. A complete current per-perk catalog is not available from the official sources checked here.

How to choose perks

Start with perks that reinforce the weapon rhythm you already use
Prefer a reliable defensive or resource option before stacking narrow damage conditions
Check whether an effect belongs to the dungeon, the shop, or a named combat path
Change one important perk choice at a time when comparing a build

Named combat paths

Hex Path: applies a damaging curse that can transfer between enemies
Poison Path: applies damage over time that grows with each tick
Bomb Path: marks enemies so the stored effect can be detonated
Each path was introduced or announced in a different update, so availability depends on the game version

What this page can confirm

The developers state that the Early Access scope contains nearly 100 shop and dungeon perks, but the official announcements checked here do not publish every perk name, tier, numerical value, or unlock condition. Use the named path mechanics above for build direction, then confirm the exact tooltip in the current game before calculating a setup.
