Curse

Curse

Curse is a Primary Stat that was added with the Abyssal Terrors DLC. When you have Curse, enemies will have a chance to spawn with the cursed buff. This gives them enhanced health, damage, and speed. Cursed enemies drop 33% additional materials on death.

Unlike most other stats, Curse isn't a positive thing to have, but instead it is a tradeoff. The enemies become stronger, but you'll gain additional materials and have access to more powerful items and weapons.


The Curse Buff

If you have at least 1 Curse stat or higher, enemies have a chance to spawn with the curse buff. Cursed enemies can be identified by the purple outline around them as seen on the picture.

  • Cursed enemies cannot be boosted by buffing enemies such as Lionfish or buffer.
  • Elites and Bosses cannot gain the cursed buff.

Chance to Curse

Curse in Co-op

In Co-op, the strength of the curse buff's HP bonus is the sum of all players' curse stat. So if you have 2 Sailor.png Sailor players with 25 curse each, the HP buff will be:

Curse HP Buff: 150% + 2% * (25 + 25) = 250% HP.


Curse in Endless mode

In Endless Mode Curse is affected in several ways.

First of all, you're likely to reach the maximum power for the curse buff at 300 Curse stat, giving cursed enemies:

Curse HP Buff: 150% + 2% * 300 = 750% HP.

Secondly, the chance of enemies spawning as curse is multiplied by the Endless Factor

Curse Chance * (1 + (Endless Factor / 2))


Wave 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
Endless Factor 0.00 0.02 0.06 0.12 0.20 0.30 0.42 0.56 0.72 0.90 1.10 1.32 1.56 1.82 2.10 2.40 2.99 3.67 4.45 5.32 6.30
Curse chance (100 Curse) 0.00 0.02 0.06 0.12 0.20 0.30 0.42 0.56 0.72 0.90 1.10 1.32 1.56 1.82 2.10 2.40 2.99 3.67 4.45 5.32 6.30

So while the Curse Chance can't go above 50% for regular waves, you can expect it to reach 100% in Endless Mode quite quickly.

Endless Curse Factor

Finally, Endless mode introduces the Endless Curse Factor, which is a HP and Damage multiplier that is applied to all enemies on top of everything else. It is separate from the Curse Buff

Curse Factor Damage = SQRT(Average Curse stat of all players)/25


Curse Factor HP = SQRT(Average Curse stat of all players)/10

Let's take an example.

In Co-op with 2 players, the Endless Curse Factor uses the average curse stat of all the players for the value used. So for 2 player, if one player has 500 Curse, and the other has 0 Curse, the Endless curse factor will take the Square root of 250, which is 15.8. The Curse Factor Damage is then 15.8/25 = 0.63, which means enemies will deal 63% more damage. And for HP it will be 15.8/10 = 1.58, meaning they will have 158% more HP.

This affects all enemies, including elites and bosses and is multiplicative with the additional stats from the Curse Buff.


Curse Stat 0 25 50 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 1250 1500 2000 2500 3000 4000 5000 10000
Endless Curse Factor HP 100% 150% 171% 200% 241% 273% 300% 324% 345% 365% 383% 400% 416% 454% 487% 547% 600% 648% 732% 807% 1100%
Endless Curse Factor Damage 100% 120% 128% 140% 157% 169% 180% 189% 198% 206% 213% 220% 226% 241% 255% 279% 300% 319% 353% 383% 500%
