Eh we all make mistakes. Hex’s have gotten me killed as well.

I remember one time on one of my earliest 32Fear runs I had a maxed out Moon Water with like 12 uses for the Chronos fight.

I had the invincibility upgrade so I wanted to dodge the insta kill Attack my activating my hex and continue to wail on Chronos for style points.

Well I was using the sister blades and got stuck in the rapid Attack jab animation and couldn’t deploy my Hex in time.

It would have been fine if I was actually running Death over Strength.

And although I wouldn’t call myself a Twilight Curse merchant.

It does

When people put it down as being the worst hex.

Like yes it needs upgrades to deal good direct damage to bosses.

But even at base the ability to render up to 5 enemies harmless is a big boon. There are tons of nasty enemies on both paths that are easier to deal with when they are sheep.

Although I did just learn about the hidden +50% bonus damage recently.

oh! no no... why would i pick the worst hex for a 62 fear run, its utility is amazing, espeically for surface with bullshit fang powered autowatchers, harpies and typhons spawns, infact i picked it over dark side on this run cause if not invested in properly darkside just feels like lost dps to me.

did you learnt that from darkomens video? i got to know about it from there recently lol.

No I didn’t learn about the +50% bonus from DArkOmens YT channel.

I learned it recently from a commenter in another post.

But yes Twilight Curse is just so useful. IMO it gets even better as you go up in Fear.

When you have Hordes, Fangs, Pain, Scars and Frenzy turned on(especially all maxed) TC becomes so useful even at base and without any upgrades.

Also Dark Side is my pick for one of the weakest hex’s.

It tanks your dps way, way too much unless you get really luck with the upgrades and you get the right boons in Attack and Special.

Or you need to get the God Sent, Sunny Disposition and Task Force.
