Cursed Bell has been nerfed.

It now just puts 1 unique unremovable curse in your deck. It might be a boss reward that's now worth the risk.

It's a nerf considering the synergy with buffed Fire Breathing ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)

I think it's far better than the old version. If you have Omamori it will not insert the "unremovable" curse. Don't know it it's intended like that, but it currently works that way.

I guess I was thinking from the Bell's point of view. :P

It's much better in the average case, like actually viable now, but I'm going to miss taking it with Du-Vu Doll. Would've been fun with the new Fire Breathing too.

Non-lethal curses are beautiful for niche builds, and as a useful discard etc. It's a LOT better than it was now. Combined with ascenders bane its great to have two chaff cards that can be thrown for little negative.

[1.2M | Missingno.]

That's kind of an odd way of looking at curses. Discard makes curses marginally less bad, but it doesn't make them good. Consider that if it wasn't in your deck you would've drawn something else that could also be discarded just the same if you want, but also has the option of playing it too. And for that reason you should try to avoid discarding Ascender's Bane if you can discard something else instead, keep it in your hand so it can exhaust.

Yeah curses are still not good but as someone who has been enjoying the 'discard starting relic option' I am loving these improvements to the boss relics!

[Rules Of Acquisition]

It completely depends on the build. I'm just saying as far as curses go, a non damaging one is way better than 3 random potentially lethal ones. I completely understand the mechanics behind it, and maybe it's my build style (like gwaihirj mentioned), but curse builds and discard builds love this sort of thing.

I second that, it's sad to see a synergy go away, but overall it was almost a "never take" relic so i supposed it's healthier for the game.
