Recommended Cursed King Boss Rush Build

Strength-stacked melee plan built around Fuuga's lingering field — Cursed King is the most consistently rated Boss Rush class.

Cursed KingBoss RushEditorial build — inputs reviewed, not proven optimalReviewed September 16, 2026

Recommended aspects

Stat priority

  1. Strength

    All damage scales off STR for this archetype

  2. Dexterity

    Only if you need dodge reliability

  3. Vitality

    Skip until you can dodge boss patterns reliably

Gear priority

  1. Ring with the most offensive affix lines (community consensus: rings carry the most damage affixes)
  2. Head/body gear with Skill Damage and Critical Damage affixes
  3. Match every remaining affix to Strength scaling — defensive affixes are reforge fodder

How to play

  • Drop Fuuga on the boss and fight inside the field
  • Use projectile slashes to control adds without leaving the field
  • Ride the defensive frames on 3 of 4 skills during boss rotations

Progression

  1. Farm the Sukuna lane in Boss Rush from floor 40 toward 100
  2. Bank Sukuna Fragments — 50 crafts a guaranteed Cursed Shrine at the Forge
  3. Stack Strength while leveling the class; add crit-damage affixes as gear allows
  4. Push mastery for +20% skill damage and -5% cooldowns

Alternatives

Anti Magic

Tankier lane class (410 HP) with a 3-second stun — pick it if Cursed King's HP pool scares you.

Honored One

The magic-lane equivalent with an auto-dodge skill, if you prefer casters.

Good for

  • S-tier on six of seven major tier lists
  • Sustained area damage during long boss fights
  • Its own unlock (Cursed Shrine) is farmed in the same mode

Weaknesses

  • 200 base HP punishes mistakes hard
  • Melee range on most of the kit
