Funguys Swarm Fire Curses Guide
Master Fire Curses for accelerated progression — risk-reward analysis and strategy for each curse type.
Understanding Fire Curses
Fire Curses are optional modifier cards that appear during level-up screens in the 1.0 update. Each Fire Curse applies a specific penalty while simultaneously increasing your Dew and Starpath completion rewards.
How Fire Curses Work
When you level up during an arena run, you are offered three upgrade cards. Occasionally, one of these three cards is a Fire Curse. Accepting a Fire Curse immediately applies its penalty for the remainder of the current run.
Fire Curse Types
Fiery Speed increases enemy movement speed. This curse is particularly punishing in arenas with large enemy counts like Egglosseum and Hellscape.
King’s Favourite reduces your base weapon damage output. This curse directly impacts your damage scaling and makes runs longer.
Reinforcement spawns elite copies of enemies during waves. These copies have reduced health compared to normal elites but still deal full elite damage.
Fiery Aura gives certain enemies a fire damage aura on contact. This is the most dangerous curse for melee-focused builds.
Risk-Reward Analysis
The reward multiplier from Fire Curses scales approximately twenty to thirty percent per curse taken. For efficient progression, two curses is the recommended maximum even for experienced players.
Counter-Strategies for Fire Curses
Against Fiery Speed: Slo Moe Treeling’s projectile-slowing effect is essential. Against King’s Favourite: Stack multiple attack multiplier passives. Against Reinforcement: Prioritize crowd control skills. Against Fiery Aura: Maintain distance and use ranged weapon builds.
Forest Strength Synergy
Forest Strength Level 4 is particularly valuable when running Fire Curses because it lets you ban Fire-element cards from appearing during runs.
