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

Cursed Technique Tier List in KAIZEN

Image by Destructoid The best cursed techniques in KAIZEN are King Curses and Idle Transfiguration for both PVP and PVE with KC having an edge in PVP. The A-Tier is full of alternative options for early, mid and pre-late game until you get King Curses or Idle. Let's talk about each CT individually below and why I've ranked it the way I did.

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 ManipulationGrade 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 BearerGrade 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 DollGrade 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 AmplificationGrade 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

CryofrostGrade 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 SpeechGrade 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 BroomGrade 3

• Decent utility with this one but overall weak
• Note that the M1s scale with Weapon stats

ConstructionGrade 4

• An okay CT when you're starting out for progression
• Switch it out when you can

Cloning TechniqueGrade 4

• Probably the weakest CT in the entire game

Boogie WoogieGrade 3

• Okay to have as a mobility tool on a Weapon or Melee build
• Otherwise it's horrible to focus on

How to farm a specific cursed technique in Kaizen?

For example, for Blood Manipulation you need to farm Choso raid or for Idle Transfiguration you need to farm Mahito raid.

What stat boosts Cursed Technique damage in KAIZEN? CTs are boosted by the Cursed Energy stat even though it doesn't state that it boosts damage.

What is the best Cursed Technique progression? Go for Construction then Straw Doll then Finger Bearer as optional before Idle Transfiguration if you don't want to farm Domain Shards since IT is great even without the Domain. If you are farming Domain Shards then King Curses is the best one in the game.
