Annihilated: How to Get More Curses and What to Spend Them On

Here's a quick guide on how to get more curses and what to spend them on in Annihilated.

It's pretty easy to panic when your favorite weapon is down to its last hit in Annihilated. You find something decent, and then it's gone. Great.

Except that's not always bad news. Breaking gear gives you Curses, and those can be more useful than hanging on to a half-dead weapon. The trick is knowing when to spend them.

Break Gear Instead of Hoarding It

Every item has a limited number of uses. Once you've worn one out, you'll get Curses in return. Boss fights reward them too, so you don't need to break everything you own.

Better to use a good weapon than carry it forever because you're scared of losing it. Just make sure you've got something else ready before you burn through its last use.

Save Curses for Bad Dungeon Rolls

Ever failed a dungeon roll and immediately regretted trying? You can spend a Curse to Defy that result and undo what happened.

Not every failed roll deserves a do-over. If the consequence is harmless, I'd take the loss and move on. Save your Curses for traps or events that leave you in serious trouble.

Bring Back Weapons You Liked

Finding a weapon does more than put it in your inventory. You can later use Curses to forge another copy from its memory, even if the original breaks.

So if you stumble across something that works brilliantly with your setup, don't worry too much about using it up. You'll have a way to get it back, provided you've saved enough Curses to craft it.

Don't Spend Everything at the Campfire

Campfires also let you improve your equipment using Curses. Gear comes in Grey, Yellow, and Purple tiers, and upgrading the stuff you rely on can make your next few fights less miserable.

But upgrading every random weapon is a quick way to run short. Pick a piece you're actually keeping. Dying sends you back to a checkpoint, but you keep your Curses. You can use them to rebuild rather than starting completely empty.

Use your weapons, let them break when the trade is worth it, and keep a few Curses in reserve for emergencies.
