Aura of Decay

Passively reduces armor and magic resistance of nearby enemies by 15%, increasing with each kill.

Deployment Strategy

Economy Management

  • Low deployment cost: Ideal for early scouting and lane disruption.
  • Prioritize aura upgrades: Increases debuff potency and team-wide effectiveness.
  • Positioning matters: Deploy near choke points or flanking zones for surprise attacks.

Team Composition

  • DPS Units: Venus or Ikki for follow-up elimination of weakened enemies.
  • Support Units: Yuni (healing + weaken), Ice Queen (slow extension)
  • Tank Units: Borul or Dark Wing to distract attention while The Cursed One flanks.

Map Strategy

  • Best placed in narrow paths or enemy flank zones.
  • Effective against boss clones and fast-moving elites.
  • Use with control towers to extend curse duration and maximize lifesteal effect.
