Best Silksong Crest for Each Slot Type
The game ranks no crest, so this page picks by slot type: Architect has the most Red slots (3), Witch the most Blue (3), Wanderer the most Yellow (3) and Shaman the most Skill slots (3).

Most "best crest" pages are tier lists. This one cannot be, because the game data holds slots, not combat numbers. It compares crests on what is in the game data: how many Red, Blue, Yellow and Skill slots each crest has, and how many of them are open from the start.

How we ranked them
One slot type per pick, then the crest with the most slots of that type
Two steps decide each pick.
- Slot type: Red, Blue, Yellow or Skill, the four slot types in the crest data.
- Count: the crest with the most slots of that type wins. If two crests tied, no pick would be made.
What the data cannot tell you
The game data gives slot counts and which slots start locked, not damage, speed or how a crest plays. "Best" here means "most slots of a type", never "strongest". There are 22 Red, 23 Blue, 13 Yellow and 6 Skill tools in the data, listed on the tools page.
Common mistakes
- Reading a slot count as strength. The game data does not rank crests by damage.
- Counting locked slots. Between 2 and 4 slots per crest start locked, so a crest's total is not what you have on day one.
- Looking for the crest's source here. The 6 crest shrine pins are on the crest shrine layer, but the game data does not tie a shrine to a crest.

Slot counts per crest. "Open" is the number of slots not locked at the start. The Hunter appears in 3 versions in the game data with the same slots, so it is listed once.
