About Curse King
Its rival arrived on 6 March 2026: Curse King, based on Ryomen Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen, closed out the Honored One vs Curse King event. Like its counterpart it was a Limited spin style at 0.25% (1% with Lucky Spins) and is no longer in the spin pool. It plays as defense plus scoring for yourself, a decent all-rounder with weaker offense per the wiki's meta note.
The base moves chain into each other. Rebound (C, 60 seconds, off the ball) pulls a shot toward the enemy hoop to you and becomes Slash Layup on success. On V (65 seconds), Dismantle jumps in front of a shooter to block and stun them, and Red Line Dribble covers a lot of ground before Red Line Shot teleports you backward and shoots from anywhere on the court. The awakening, The Strongest In History, needs the ball and brings The King of Curses (20 seconds of auto-dribble and speed), Cleave Throw and Malevolent Dunk.
The MalevolentVision zone makes enemies you block kneel for a long stun and cuts block cooldown sharply. It can appear in the Black Market, usually at $1,000,000 per the wiki.
