KAIZEN's cursed technique system is all about progression and farming across Grade 4, 3, 2, 1 and Special.

Related: KAIZEN Clan Tier List S-Tier Cursed Techniques S-Tier CTs Ranking Reasons King Curses Special Grade • The highest DPS potential of all CTs, especially with the Sukuna Clan • Best for both PVE and PVP now that Limitless is a bit weaker • Fuga/Divine Flame and the Domain have massive AOE damage that hits everything • That said, requires a ton of grinding for the base version and farming Domain Shards for the Domain • Just be careful of using the Sukuna Clan with this in PVP because the Clan ability is punishable due to animation lag Idle Transfiguration Special Grade • Up there with King Curses as the top 2 best CTs in the game • Really strong against humanoid enemies due to the grabs • Has a lot of PVE and PVP flexible moves with both single target and AOE damage • I would go for Idle over King Curses if you don't want to grind as much since IT is easier to farm and strong without Domain too A-Tier Cursed Techniques A-Tier CTs Ranking Reasons Limitless Special Grade • Still has good burst damage and a decent domain so it's good for PVE • That said Limitless isn't top-tier anymore in terms of DPS and the domain is a bit weaker than before • Still a great choice but there are cheaper options that are just as good and also stronger options Blood Manipulation Grade 1 • A bit tricky to farm for Grade 1 standards since you have to grind Choso raid • That said it's really strong for a kiting playstyle where you try to outrange your opponent • The R can deal a ton of damage on a full hit and the Clan ability heal plus speed buff are quite good for PVP • Plus it's just really safe to play for PVE too due to great range • Not as strong as Finger Bearer DPS wise or S-Tiers but a valid flexibile option for PVE/PVP Finger Bearer Grade 1 • Really easy to farm option that deals excellent damage • Excellent for maining mid to late game until you get King Curses or Idle • Leans more toward PVE with its damage burst but it's decent for PVP as well Straw Doll Grade 2 • Really underrated due to being Grade 2 but it's actually an incredible farming tool • One of the best things to rush in PVE • The V is your main tool for immobilization and comboing with Melee/Swords • Just an overall excellent supporting moveset that will carry you into the late game • That said the moves are a bit weak DPS-wise so combo it with a good fighting style or weapon Shock Amplification Grade 2 • Shock Amplification is another excellent PVE farming tool due to high damage and being easy-to-get • Cryofrost is better for PVP so SA is strictly for farming and progression • Once you get higher-tier CTs switch to them but SA will carry you there B-Tier Cursed Techniques B-Tier CTs Ranking Reasons Cryofrost Grade 1 • A bit weak for PVE due to lower damage than the higher tiers • However, it's extremely good for PVP due to massive combo potential • In fact, Cryofrost probably has some of the best PVP combos in the game • I put it in B-Tier for its specific use since it's not as flexibile Rot Grade 1 • Much weaker than Cryofrost but still an okay PVE option • Don't use it in PVP though C-Tier Cursed Techniques C-Tier CTs Ranking Reasons Cursed Speech Grade 3 • With the rework it's actually quite good for PVE farming • The moves deal great damage and there's some PVP potential too mid-game with the Clan ability enhanced hitbox • That said it gets outclassed by Cryofrost and higher tiers later on D-Tier Cursed Techniques D-Tier CTs Ranking Reasons Devil's Broom Grade 3 • Decent utility with this one but overall weak • Note that the M1s scale with Weapon stats Construction Grade 4 • An okay CT when you're starting out for progression • Switch it out when you can Cloning Technique Grade 4 • Probably the weakest CT in the entire game Boogie Woogie Grade 3 • Okay to have as a mobility tool on a Weapon or Melee build • Otherwise it's horrible to focus on KAIZEN Cursed Technique FAQ What is the best Cursed Technique and Clan in KAIZEN?
