Version 18.100.1 | 21 September 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 10 | Cursed Staffs are another top pick for the 5v5 Crystal League. With the latest buffs to Dark Matter, the ability has become very dominant in 5v5s. While we are happy to see this ability back in the meta, it currently gives Cursed Staffs a little too much burst damage, which has been toned down somewhat.

Version 18.040.1 | 6 May 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 4 (Balance Patch) | Cursed Staffs
Various underused Cursed Staff abilities were buffed, like Dark Matter and Cursed Beam. The range of Vile Curse was increased to make it more attractive in group PvP, where currently Cursed Sickle is the go-to choice. Armor Piercer is a staple of Cursed Staffs, but the armor shred was a bit too strong, and added too much of a damage spike to fights alongside its long range and short cooldown.
