What are Curses?
Curses are special attacks that you can use during your crusades. To use them, you need Fervor, which you gain by defeating enemies or from random chests.
At the start of each crusade, you will receive one random Curse. You have no control over which curse you get, but there is a chance that you can swap them for another power during exploration.
Curses are categorized into five types based on their effects:
- Fireballs – Fire projectiles that damage enemies and inflict status effects.
- Tentacles – Tentacles grow from the ground and damage opponents in multiple directions, sometimes causing additional negative effects.
- Blasts – Explosions that cause area damage and inflict negative effects on enemies or positive effects on your character.
- Slashes – Cuts that deal damage based on the attack’s charge level.
- Splatters – Splashes that create a poisonous substance on the ground to harm enemies. To use this curse, aim by holding down the button that activates the Curse and select the desired area.
How to Unlock Curses?
You start the game with access to ten Curses, but as your cult grows, you can unlock fifteen more. You can unlock them on the development tree by earning enough Faith points after completing the Sermon at the Temple.
Blank – A powerful projectile that inflicts high damage to a single enemy.
Summary
The game offers a variety of curses that players can use to defeat enemies. Fireballs, Blasts, Slashes, Tentacles, and Splatters each have their own unique curses that can be used strategically in different situations. From inflicting damage to repelling and poisoning enemies, players have various options to choose from to defeat their opponents.
The Corruption spell functions similarly to the Ichor Thrown spell, but when it hits the ground, it creates an explosion that damages enemies. The Path of Righteous spell creates a long trail of poison that poisons enemies, making it an effective trap. The Call of the Crown spell is a projectile that possesses the opponents it hits, causing them to fight on your side temporarily. Lastly, the Ichor by Consuming spell creates a projectile that leaves behind a poisonous ooze that spreads over time.
