Upgrade on curses

[lainrawr]

I think it would be neat if we could upgrade curses at fireplaces. Like lets say Write, which is unplayable inate, could upgrade to just unplayable, or parasite which is lose 3 hp when removed to lose 1 hp. Would be a neat concept to almost downgrade the curses. Im not saying it to make it easier, I basically have every achivment and beat ascension 15 already. Just think its a neat concept :)

Waste of an upgrade imo, but an okay idea until my random upgrade events upgrade a curse.

[lordofdekingz]

I do agree. Also status cards should all have upgrades (like burns do already) Those upgrades should make the cards worse though

[Loerilia]

Sort of pointless seeing as you get rid of curses in almost all decks.

[lainrawr]

thats not true, quite a few decks are built around having curses.

Feel free to name these quite a few decks.

Sure, curse deck for gaining strength for each one, any ascension 10+ deck you start with one, any nercronomicon deck, any parasite can reduce how much you lose when removing it, any deck with blue candle since you can just play them when they come up(Removing inaate off them would be useful here), Often when you get the grey bell relic, gaining 3 curses is tough to remove them all without costing a massive ammount. Thats to name a couple, but I am sure if I was pressed naming a bunch more would not be tough.

Any big deck would be nice too, since no pont wasting coins removing, when I can just mitigate the effect on the few times they do arise.

What would upgrade necronimicon curse even do? Most of what you suggest requires relics for interaction. Blue candle exhausts whatever you play, so what does it matter if the affect is reduced if it disappears for the rest of the fight (the few inmates not withstanding, one of which is already ethereal)?

I would rather spend the coin to remove a curse to completely remove the dead draw (assuming I don't otherwise benefit from it), than waste an upgrade that could go into something better.

Those aren't different decks; they're scenarios in which you get stuck with curses and can't remove them. A "Curse Deck" is a deck that benefits from curses, not a deck that is stuck with curses. The one Curse Deck that exists works with Du-Vu Doll, where you gain Strength for each one. In every other case, it's better for you to remove the curses, as they do nothing beneficial for you. Calling Bell is also a relic that you should only really pick if you have Du-Vu Doll or Omamori (to negate 2/3 curses), not a relic to build a deck around.

I think something like this would be pretty useful considering when you're trying to maximize your score you'll usually want to try to have 5 curses in the deck if the opportunity presents itself.

Dude, you don't gotta be a ♥♥♥♥ to everyone.

Also, try a strength stacking deck with the Vu-Du doll Relic. It can get rather powerful if you have enough curses. This also works well with Blue candle, leaving it to where you only get Defends/Attacks.

There's a mix of relics and cards that can be used, some of said cards and relics making curse cards really useful. (Like Dead branch, with a card that exhausts other cards.), Etc etc.

Now please Stop attacking the OP on the first reply to another post.

Body Slam , limit break , Poison, Shiv, Discard, infinite are examples of Decks.

All you listed is just random cards and relics that can work with curses.

I was going to write this, but also add:

If you're running a rupture deck, or, to put it into 'build language' a blood build, then the curse where you lose hp is one to actively hunt for. Since such a hand will also usually involve an Offering or two the effect of loads of curses is highly mitigated. Combine this with the doll and you have a very strong curse-based hand. There are lots of other relics which improve such a hand to god-mode, such as Blue Candle.

I'd like to have that, so i could upgrade my Ascender's and make it loose Etherial and then burn it with my Immolate+ and deal 15 aoe damage.

Having 5 curses usually ruins your big no duplicates modifier, though, unless you manage to get 5 different ones, which isn't overly common.
