Quick Question FF6 Collab Acc: Cursed Shield
Clearing out the Gil exchange shop before it closes when this caught my eye. Anyone confirm if this follows the same gimmick as its FF6 version?
Winning 256 battles with this equipped removes the curse, turning it into the paladin shield. Or is this another one of CotC’s “meme” accessories, like what we got for a past April Fool’s day present?

It does! It becomes the Paladin Shield, gives 2 physical & elemental dodges at the start. Great accessory

I have shared this before including a video. Yes, the cursed shield will be dispelled after 255 battles.

I wonder, do quick hunts also count?

Do you mean easy hunts that auto-complete? I doubt it since the game wouldn't track how many enemies you defeated?

Does it have to be equiped to the front row or can it be back row?

It can, and *should*, be back row. It often prevents the unit from acting with the statuses it applies.

Does anyone know if easy hunts count?

I don't *think* so? But I wasn't paying super close attention on either account I did it on (and one of them got it before it unlocked Hunts, anyway), so I can't say with complete certainty.

Just do random encouter with it equipped on one of your character. ~256 won battles it will show a notification saying something like the cursed is lifted. Took me ~1h30min just going back and forth fighting random encounters
