Mastering the King of Curses Ability

In A Universal Time, the King of Curses ability—inspired by Ryomen Sukuna—is a top-tier power that requires dedication to unlock its full potential. Mastering this ability is not just about using it in combat; it involves a systematic progression of leveling up through the use of specific rare items. By reaching higher mastery ranks, you unlock devastating moves that define the meta, such as the iconic Malevolent Shrine and the game-changing World Cutting Slash.

To begin your journey toward becoming the strongest sorcerer, you must first secure the King of Curses ability itself. This is done by collecting rare items like the "Remembrance of the Fallen" and "King of Curses Shard," both of which are rare drops from the King of Curses boss. Once you have the ability equipped, the real progression begins.

Mastery Progression and Item Requirements

The mastery system for King of Curses is divided into two distinct phases. Unlike some abilities that level up solely through combat experience, this path is heavily reliant on specific legendary items that act as catalysts for your growth.

  1. Ranks 1 to 19: You must utilize the Sukuna’s Finger item. This legendary-tier item is essential for climbing the early and mid-level mastery ranks.
  2. Rank 20: Upon reaching the final level, you must apply the Wheel of Dharma. This item signifies the completion of your mastery progression, unlocking the final ultimate move.

According to community documentation, these items can be farmed from specific high-level encounters. Players frequently report that the King of Curses boss, The Bearer slayer boss, and the Mahoraga raid boss are the primary sources for these necessary materials.

Unlocking Powerful Moves

As you rank up your mastery, you will gain access to new abilities that significantly increase your offensive capabilities. Each milestone is designed to make the King of Curses more versatile in both PvP and PvE scenarios.

Mastery 8: Fuga

Unlock the pyrokinetic arrow move. By forming and shaping cursed energy into a projectile, you can send a powerful burst of fire forward to damage distant enemies.

Mastery 15: Malevolent Shrine

Expand your domain. This move inflicts constant slash damage to all enemies within the vicinity. It also buffs your other moves (Dismantle, Cleave, World Cutting Slash, and Fuga) and increases your defense and damage by 20%. Note that this move causes "burnout" cooldowns on your other skills once it ends.

Mastery 19: Fuga (Ult)

An ultimate variant of Fuga. When triggered inside the Malevolent Shrine, the damage output is exponentially increased, though it will immediately end the domain expansion upon use.

Mastery 20: World Cutting Slash

The pinnacle of your mastery. This move enhances your standard Dismantle attack to target the very fabric of the world, dealing true damage that bypasses standard resistances.

Strategic Tips for Mastery Farming

Efficiently leveling up requires preparation. Because the items required for mastery are legendary drops, you should prioritize boss farming.

Tip

Community reports suggest that grouping up for the Mahoraga raid boss is the most reliable way to hunt for both Sukuna’s Fingers and the Wheel of Dharma. Soloing these bosses is possible for veteran players, but raids are significantly faster for gathering materials.

When using Malevolent Shrine, keep in mind that you are vulnerable during the hand-sign animation. If you activate the input a second time to make the slashes unblockable, you cannot move or defend. Time this move carefully during boss fights or PvP engagements to avoid being interrupted by enemy crowd control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I level up King of Curses without these items?

No, the mastery progression for this specific ability is tied to the use of Sukuna’s Finger and the Wheel of Dharma. You cannot skip these items to reach higher mastery levels.

Does the damage buff from Malevolent Shrine stack?

The damage of the domain expansion itself ramps up as you land hits on targets within it. This creates a high-risk, high-reward cycle where staying aggressive inside your domain is key to maximizing your DPS.

Where is the best place to find the Wheel of Dharma?

Based on current game documentation, the Wheel of Dharma is a rare drop from the Mahoraga raid boss. It is specifically required for the final mastery rank (Mastery 20).
