- Anime Fighting Simulator cursed technique rolls cost 150 Chikara Shards through the crate NPC.
- Limitless is the listed Mythic technique, with a 0.36% roll chance.
- Cursed Speech and Larper scale with Chakra and suit ability-focused builds.
- Ratio uses Strength, while Weapon Specialist combines Strength and Sword scaling.
- Mastery levels unlock additional moves, so leveling a new technique is part of its value.
Anime Fighting Simulator Cursed Technique Overview
Cursed Techniques were introduced in Update 1 as a special ability system built around anime-inspired combat skills. You obtain them through a Cursed Technique Crate rather than selecting a permanent class. This makes the system a mixture of collection, resource management, and build planning.
The crate NPC is located in front of the Sorcerer Academy, behind the large City Island. The current wiki listing identifies Gojo, also referenced as Jogu in the location description, as the character connected to the roll system. Each roll costs 150 Chikara Shards.
Video Highlights:
- Update 1 added cursed techniques and new related progression systems.
- Limitless uses Chakra and unlocks Reversal Red before Lapse Blue.
- Boss farming can provide Chikara Shards for additional rolls.
- Mastery improves the practical value of a technique during combat.
The most important decision is not simply choosing the rarest technique. You should also check the technique’s scaling attribute, mastery requirements, cooldowns, and intended combat role. A Mythic ability may be difficult to obtain, while a lower-rarity option may fit your current stats more efficiently.
Chakra Builds
- Cursed Speech
- Larper
- Limitless
- Best fit for ability-based damage
Strength Builds
- Ratio
- Shrine
- Strong direct attacks
- Useful for strength-focused progression
Hybrid Builds
- Weapon Specialist
- Queen of Curses
- Uses Strength, Sword, or Chakra
- Flexible but more demanding
Before spending shards, compare a technique’s scale factor with your strongest stat. A rare technique is less efficient if your current build cannot support its damage scaling.
How to Obtain and Reroll Cursed Techniques
The basic acquisition process is straightforward, but shard efficiency matters because every attempt consumes 150 Chikara Shards. Travel to the Sorcerer Academy area, locate the crate NPC, and use the roll interface to obtain a technique.
The available roll list and displayed odds should be checked before committing resources. The published table lists five crate techniques, from the common Ratio to the Mythic Limitless. Other techniques appear in the broader ability documentation, but they do not all have crate odds listed.
Reach the Sorcerer Academy
Travel behind the large City Island and find the Sorcerer Academy. The crate NPC is positioned in front of the academy entrance.
Save Chikara Shards
Collect enough Chikara Shards before rolling. One listed Cursed Technique Crate attempt costs 150 shards, so repeated rolls require a reliable farming routine.
Review the Roll Pool
Check the displayed technique names, rarities, and odds. Use the current in-game interface as the final reference if values change after an update.
Roll and Inspect the Result
After receiving a technique, confirm its scale factor and available moves. A Chakra technique should be judged against your Chakra stat, while Ratio favors Strength.
Farm Mastery Before Replacing It
Test the technique and unlock its early moves before deciding whether another roll is worthwhile. A new result may look better on rarity but perform worse for your setup.
| Acquisition Detail | Current Information |
|---|---|
| Roll location | In front of Sorcerer Academy |
| Nearby landmark | Behind the large City Island |
| Roll currency | Chikara Shards |
| Cost per roll | 150 Chikara Shards |
| Roll source | Cursed Technique Crate |
| Best verification point | In-game crate interface |
Boss farming is one practical way to support repeated attempts. The Update 1 gameplay coverage highlights Kurama as a useful target for Chikara Shards and trait-roll resources. Treat boss efficiency as build-dependent: stronger players may clear it quickly, while developing players may need safer positioning and healing.
Do not spend every shard immediately if you still need progression resources. Keep a reserve for future rolls, then farm again after testing whether the current technique matches your stats.
Cursed Technique Odds and Rarity Comparison
The listed crate odds provide a useful starting point for planning. Ratio has the highest listed chance, while Limitless is the rarest entry in the table. The percentages describe roll odds, not a guaranteed number of attempts.
| Cursed Technique | Rarity | Roll Odds | Scale Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ratio | Common | 54.11% | Strength |
| Cursed Speech | Rare | 31.94% | Chakra |
| Larper | Epic | 12.16% | Chakra |
| Weapon Specialist | Legendary | 1.43% | Strength/Sword |
| Limitless | Mythic | 0.36% | Chakra |
The odds table is reproduced from the Cursed Technique page on the Anime Fighting Simulator Wiki. Because game systems can be adjusted, compare the published figures with the live crate screen before making a large investment.
Most Accessible
Ratio has the highest listed chance and scales with Strength. It is a practical result for players already training direct physical damage.
Best Chakra Progression
Cursed Speech and Larper both scale with Chakra, giving ability-focused players more attainable alternatives to Limitless.
Rare Chase Result
Limitless is listed as Mythic with a 0.36% chance. Its rarity makes it a long-term target rather than a dependable early plan.
A low roll chance should not automatically determine your next move. Consider the following questions:
- Does the technique use your highest stat?
- Can you unlock its next move at your current mastery level?
- Are its cooldowns suitable for boss farming or player combat?
- Does the technique provide useful area damage or reliable single-target pressure?
- Would replacing your current ability slow down progression?
A displayed percentage describes the chance for an individual roll. It does not promise a result after a fixed number of attempts, so plan your shard budget around repeated farming rather than a guaranteed outcome.
Move Sets, Scaling, and Mastery Priorities
Each technique has its own move set, damage scaling, mastery requirements, and cooldown pattern. The most useful early comparison is whether the first move is immediately available and whether the second move requires a manageable mastery threshold.
| Technique | First Move | Second Move | Second Move Mastery | Combat Focus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ratio | Ratio Punch, 10x Strength | Ratio Smash, 20x Strength | Mas.15 | Direct Strength damage |
| Cursed Speech | Blast Away, 5x Chakra | Explode, 6x Chakra | Mas.10 | Area control and repeated hits |
| Larper | Granite Blast, 5x Chakra | Appetizer, 7x Chakra | Mas.15 | Charged beams and ranged pressure |
| Weapon Specialist | Heavenly Volley, 3x Strength | Thousand Slashes, 5x Sword | Mas.10 | Strength and Sword hybrid |
| Limitless | Reversal Red, 25x Chakra | Lapse Blue, 7x Chakra | Mas.25 | Heavy burst and attraction effect |
Limitless is especially notable for its first move. Reversal Red is listed at 25x Chakra, with a seven-second cooldown and higher listed damage values than the other first abilities. Lapse Blue requires Mas.25 and creates an attractive force that damages nearby enemies over multiple ticks.
Ratio has a simpler progression path. Ratio Punch is available at Mas.0, while Ratio Smash unlocks at Mas.15. This makes it easier to evaluate quickly if your Strength stat is already developed.
Cursed Speech and Larper both use Chakra, but their move patterns differ. Cursed Speech provides repeated-hit control through Blast Away and Explode. Larper focuses on beam attacks, including a held Granite Blast and a three-beam Appetizer.
Unlock the next move before judging a technique only by its starting attack. A second ability can change your range, area coverage, or boss damage pattern.
For boss farming, prioritize safe damage and repeatable cooldowns. For player combat, range, movement control, and burst windows may matter more than listed PvE damage. The wiki separates PvE and PvP values, so avoid treating one category’s numbers as universal.
| Technique | PvE Notes | PvP Notes | Recommended Test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ratio | Reliable direct Strength attacks | Stronger listed player multipliers | Test against a boss and a moving player |
| Cursed Speech | Multi-tick Chakra damage | Area disruption potential | Check hit consistency at close range |
| Larper | Ranged beam pressure | Hold-time and projectile timing matter | Test beam tracking and spacing |
| Weapon Specialist | Mixed Strength/Sword scaling | Fast slash sequence | Compare Sword investment against Strength |
| Limitless | High burst from Reversal Red | Useful pressure with ranged abilities | Test cooldown timing and Lapse Blue control |
Practical Farming Route and Progression Checklist
A strong cursed-technique routine has three phases: secure a technique, build mastery, and then decide whether another roll is justified. This prevents players from spending shards repeatedly without testing their current result.
Start by confirming your primary stat. If your Strength is significantly higher, Ratio can provide immediate value. If Chakra is your focus, Cursed Speech or Larper may be more accessible than Limitless. Weapon Specialist requires more specialized investment because its listed moves use both Strength and Sword scaling.
For resource farming, use bosses that you can defeat consistently. Kurama is highlighted as a source of Chikara Shards and other update-related rewards. If a boss takes too long or forces repeated defeats, a safer target may produce better progress per session.
| Progression Stage | Main Goal | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Build a shard reserve | Train your strongest stat and farm manageable bosses |
| First roll | Obtain a usable technique | Spend 150 Chikara Shards at the crate NPC |
| Early mastery | Unlock the first upgrade | Fight enemies while testing range and cooldowns |
| Build alignment | Improve damage scaling | Match Strength, Chakra, or Sword investment to the technique |
| Reroll decision | Compare long-term value | Replace the technique only after testing its move set |
Cursed Technique Progression Checklist:
- Find the Sorcerer Academy behind the large City Island
- Save at least 150 Chikara Shards for one crate roll
- Check the technique scale factor after rolling
- Unlock the next move through mastery
- Test the technique against a boss before rerolling
Keep a record of what works for your build. A technique with lower rarity may still clear training targets efficiently if its scale factor matches your strongest stat. Conversely, a rare result may require too much investment to become effective immediately.
Use the same boss or training target when comparing abilities. Consistent testing makes cooldowns, range, hit count, and actual clear speed easier to judge.
