Death Ball Cursed Spirit Raid

Last updated: 2026-06-21

Cursed Spirit Overview

The Cursed Spirit raid is Death Ball premier co-op encounter, themed around cursed energy and high-pressure telegraphs. Teams must balance DPS windows with survival mechanics unlike ranked duels in ranked builds.

Prepare with raids overview, appropriate champions from tier list, and potions from potions page if boosts are allowed.

Phase Mechanics

  • Phase 1: Learn basic telegraphs—deflect habits can hurt if mistimed
  • Phase 2: Adds spawn—AoE control from Gazo or Foxuro helps
  • Phase 3: Enrage timer—burst with Kameki or Gloom kits
  • Cleanup: Revive teammates and conserve ability cooldowns

Detailed frame data varies by patch—confirm on Discord after updates. Boss guide summary continues on boss guide page.

Recommended Team Comps

Standard squad: one burst DPS (Kameki/Gloom), one control (Gazo), one defensive anchor (Lufus), one flex (Saito mobility). Swap flex for Foxuro adds if add control is harder than boss HP.

Communication beats raw tier labels—B-tier Lufus walls save runs. Practice callouts and ability rotations in private raid lobbies before public queues.

Gear: clarity swords from sword tier list still help read boss-related projectiles when mechanics mimic ball speed.

Loot & Farming Route

Cursed Spirit drops feed gem economies and occasional exclusive items listed on items hub. Stack runs during double-loot events announced on Discord—not fake Trellos (warning).

  • Redeem codes before long farm sessions
  • Use XP farming on alts separately
  • Bank materials for seasonal shop refreshes
  • Return to PvP with curve practice

Raid mastery makes you a better duelist—telegraph reading transfers directly to ranked faceoffs.

Cursed Spirit Wipe Recovery

Cursed Spirit raid wipes usually stem from three failures: ignoring add phases, burning burst cooldowns before enrage, and solo heroes ignoring revive windows. Phase two add spawns punish players who treat raid like PvP deflect spam—assign Gazo portals or Foxuro clones to add control while Kameki saves Dragon Rush for boss HP bar. Phase three enrage demands coordinated burst; calling cooldowns on voice prevents double-overkill whiffs.

Lufus Glass Wall anchors survive telegraphed slams that one-shot squishier kits. Position walls where map geometry channels boss movement, not randomly mid-arena. Potions from potions catalog may be restricted during enrage—confirm tooltip each patch via boss guide updates.

Loot efficiency: run Cursed Spirit when gem boost events stack with code redemption from active codes. Bank materials for seasonal shop refreshes rather than impulse-spending on banners. Failed runs still grant partial XP toward XP farming goals on alts.

  • Phase 1: learn telegraphs—no ability spam
  • Phase 2: dedicated add control role mandatory
  • Phase 3: hold burst until enrage callout
  • Wipes: analyze cooldown waste, not random blame

Telegraph skills transfer to ranked when boss projectiles mimic ball curves—practice reading from curve mechanics during phase one.

Record your first clear VOD and note which ability was still on cooldown during enrage— that single timestamp usually explains most public queue wipes. Farm Cursed Spirit on alts during main ranked downtime to keep gem income without LP risk.

Bring potions only when tooltip confirms raid eligibility—wasting boosts hurts long-term gem economy.

Phase two add control is the most common pug failure—assign it before queueing.

Additional tips

Extreme mode luck modifiers change weekly—snapshot drop rates when Shadow Pack events go live and update your gem farming spreadsheet.

Expert notes

Solo extreme runs need potion stock—farm potions on potions page routes before attempting profit splits.
