Moreover, the game mode will arrive with its own challenges and rewards. That said, here is a quick overview of the features included in the Cursed Mode:
Relics
These are special items that you can obtain by completing certain challenges in the Cursed Mode. Once acquired, these Relics can be used before starting a match in this mode to increase the challenge with debuffs. The power of the Relics can also directly affect Tiers, which is another part of this mode.
There are a total of 9 Relics that can be found in this game mode. Each comes with its own challenge, and the most difficult tasks will provide you with the most lethal ones. These items are designed to increase the difficulty for veterans.
Tiers
Adding Relics will make the matches significantly more difficult as you limit yourself to fewer resources and even some quality-of-life features like the minimap. By picking Relics to debuff your game, you can unlock Tiers. Tiers can also directly influence the type of rewards that you can get by playing and completing Cursed Mode.
There are a total of 3 Tiers in this game mode that can be challenged. It is also important to note that each Relic has the capacity to fill only a certain part of the Tier bar depending on its debuffs. For example, you may need to commit to using two Relics to fill the Tier 1 bar and play the mode at Tier 2.
