Why would I ever buy curse?

[Sliske]

Because the game's too easy?

[Andar]

1. To add difficulty.
2. To increase the amount of enemies that spawn aside from the above, meaning you can get more experience/level up more and also earn more gold should you have a sufficient built and character.

[HeraldOfOpera]

More enemies equals more loot, don't you know anything?

[Spud]

Why would I make the game more challenging and increase the rewards?

[Shinneh]

Basic enemies like bats have like 1-10 hp, so while 50% extra sounds like a lot, if it's just 2hp to 3hp and your weapon deals 20 damage... then the only thing that increases is the number you kill and the exp you get. Even their speed just means they die quicker.

It can make some maps and waves harder (dairy plant, bone zone) but generally the extra exp makes you stronger at a much faster rate than it makes enemies stronger.

I might buy it after I destroy that big skeleton ball then.

As mentioned, more enemies = more xp = you are stronger to deal with the stronger enemies. With really good builds you can get your curse into the hundreds and be totally fine. Once you have the rest of the permanent upgrades, the +50% curse is really helpful to speed up the start of the game, and will help with stuff like getting characters to 99 for Arcana unlocks, or farming gold bags from levels after being maxed.

[Freudesleid]

Depends. If you want to get the 100.000 Sigma achievement, you'll want to have max curse to spawn as many as possible.

[Krampus]

You will hit a point in which you start trying to maximize curse.

So you gave me an idea for a challenge! 'Absolute Maximum Curse' run! I used Gyorunton (no Golden Eggs) who gets +1% Curse every level-up on Inlaid Library with Hyper, Arcana's and Limit Break.

Weapons: Tri-Bracelet, Mannajja and Crimson Shroud

Passives: Skull-O-Maniac, Torrona's Box, Crown, Spinach, Candleabrador, Armor, Metaglio Left, Metaglio Right, Silver Ring, Gold Ring

Arcanas: XX - Silent Old Sanctuary, XIII - Wicked Season. I was so focused by the 21min mark I forgot to grab the 3rd Arcana which would have been either XVIII - Boogaloo of Illusion or IX - Divine Bloodline but I don't think either would have made too much of a difference.

Reached the 30:00 mark and killed the Red Reaper!

Final Curse Level: 737%

Give it a try!

yee lol. when you tick the option to never stop getting weapons upgrades, more enemies becomes crazy.

[atlus25]

its great for extra exp

[Drakeeper]

It's basically +exp if you can handle the increase in difficulty.

Why would I ever play on normal or hard when there's an easy mode?

I didn't know there were easy, normal and hard modes.
