Curse

Curses

Tooltip

Curses significantly Debuff affected targets. By default a target can have one Curse on them at a time.

Curses are Debuffs that apply a certain downside on the recipient, weakening them. By default, the player can apply a maximum of 1 Curse in total. The Maximum amount of curses applied can be altered by Items like Doedre's Damning and keystone passive skill nodes like Whispers of Doom.

Special Interactions

• Decaying Hex: If a curse is supported by Decaying Hex, it can be spread via the use of Contagion, as its Chaos Damage qualifies it as a non-ailment chaos debuff.
