Cursed Waves

Introduction

Cursed Waves is a permanent roguelite game mode added during Across the Ruined Sea. This mode is continuously updated every patch with new rewards, characters, nodes, and story endings until Sands of Wrath, during which the fifth and final ending, Reader, is added.
In Cursed Waves, the player will progress through multiple nodes that feature story and combat encounters. Throughout their journey, the player must build a team and collect Artifacts that grant various mode-exclusive buffs to help them reach the ending.

Starting Out

Difficulty Levels

For each run of Cursed Waves, the player must begin with choosing a difficulty level. Once chosen, the difficulty level cannot be changed until the end of the current run.

Difficulty Level	Downfall Crystal and Curse-Dispelling Chapter Multiplier	Consciousness Stability Timer	Notes
Rising Tide (Normal)	x1	300s	-
Surging Waves (Hard)	x2	120s	-
Abyssal Torrent (Nightmare)	x2.5	90s	Recommended Minimum BP: 7,500

• Consciousness Stability: In Battle Stages, enemies will be enhanced after a set amount of time.

Extra Artifact

If the player reached Chapter 3 in their previous run regardless of the outcome, they will be presented with 3 random Artifacts from which they can choose one to aid them in their upcoming run.

Survey Team

After choosing a difficulty level, the player must then choose a Survey Team. Each Survey Team grants a different set of buffs.

Survey Team Name	Effects
Tide Seeker	Consciousness will stable for 30 seconds longer in the node.
Scavenger	Has additional Biomimetic Blood x 2 and Tinbread Cookie x 8 at the beginning of the game.
Traveling Troupe	Recruitment Refresh Attempts +1. Slightly increases the chance of recruiting S-Rank Omniframes.
Survival Expert	Immediately gives a random Artifact. Gives another random Artifact every two chapters.
Expedition Team	Each battle node cleared will increase all members’ Extra DMG Bonus by 5%.
Curse Queller	Doubles the Artifact Box rewards in Hard Battles.

Starting Character

After choosing a Survey Team, the player is presented with Invitations of all five elements: Physical, Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Dark. A randomly chosen element will have its Invitation upgraded to Level 2, which guarantees that at least one S-Rank character will appear every time the player refreshes the recruitment lineup. The player must choose one of the elemental Invitations, from which they will recruit one starting character of their choice. Players can acquire additional Invitations to build their team by clearing nodes during the run.

Team Building

Character Recruitment

In Cursed Waves, every character in the game, with the exception of collaboration characters, can be recruited using Invitations. In future versions, the lineup of available characters will include up to Lamia: Lost Lullaby; characters from Watanabe: Epitaph and onwards will not be added to the Cursed Waves recruitment pool.

Characters the player has not yet acquired via R&D (gacha) in the main game are available as trial characters. The trial characters will be at Level 80, Ultima Awakened, and equipped with Memories and their 6-Star Signature Weapon. The trial version of S-Rank characters will be at Evolution Rank S at Star level 1, and SS at Star level 2. However, Leap upgrades will not be available; it is therefore not recommended to rely on the trial versions of the characters whose performance depends greatly on their Leap upgrades (such as Liv: Luminance) in this mode, especially when attempting harder difficulties.

Every character can be recruited up to twice using Invitations. When a character is recruited for the first time, they will be at Star level 1. For non-trial characters, their stats, skill levels, equipment, etc. will match that of the player’s own characters in the main game. Summoning a same character for the second time increases their Star level to 2, which will greatly enhance their stats.

Characters have an increased chance to appear from Invitations during their debut patch.

Elemental Team Overview

Note: This section of the guide assumes a free-to-play level of investment for all characters (SS Rank or below / trial characters)

and is aimed towards newer players who are not yet used to the game's battle system. Experienced players with fully built teams will have little difficulty getting through Cursed Waves.

Physical

• Optimal Members:

  • Bianca: Stigmata, Liv: Luminance (Leap buffs recommended), Rosetta: Rigor (Leap buffs recommended)

  • From Everglowing Justice: Bianca: Stigmata, Alisa: Echo, Rosetta: Rigor (Leap buffs recommended)

• Notes:

  • The Physical team can make use of some great Bond synergies. The maximum level of the Final Judgement Bond allows the player to instantly execute any enemy whose HP is below 30%, which is extremely helpful in difficult battles. This Bond is also relatively easy to level up because Bianca: Stigmata and Bianca: Zero both appear from Invitation of Blade. The Pure Mercy Bond greatly boosts Liv’s already outstanding healing abilities and allows her to deal massive amounts of DMG at the maximum level.

  • The downside of the Physical team is that both Liv: Luminance and Rosetta: Rigor, two core members of the optimal Physical team, require Leap upgrades for best performance. This means that the player needs to have these two characters in the base game with their Leap upgrades unlocked to utilize the full potential of the Physical team, because Leap upgrades are not available for trial characters.

Fire

• Optimal Members:

  • Lee: Hyperreal, Liv: Empyrea, Nanami: Starfarer

• Notes:

  • The Fire team is extremely effective at higher difficulties, in which a single hit or two from enemies can be instantly fatal, thanks to Lee: Hyperreal’s outstanding survivability.

  • The Fire team is the first elemental team that can have all three members with Time Lag Calculation in their kits. This is very helpful in meeting the enrage DPS check in battle stages.

Lightning

• Optimal Members:

  • Vera: Garnet, Liv: Lux, Bianca: Veritas / Selena: Tempest (if at high investment).

  • From Wintry Shackles: Lucia: Crimson Weave, Vera: Garnet, Liv: Lux.

  • From Chaos Unsnarled: Lucia: Crimson Weave, Vera: Garnet, No.21: Feral Scent.

• Notes:

  • Until Wintry Shackles, it is not recommended to use the Lightning team for higher difficulties, as it lags significantly behind other elemental teams (especially Physical and Fire) in both survivability and DPS.

  • From Wintry Shackles, Lucia: Crimson Weave becomes a powerful “hypercarry” of the Lightning team. She relies less on having optimal team support, which lessens the impact of RNG when it comes to Artifacts and Invitations.

Dark

• Optimal Members:

  • Luna: Laurel, Karenina: Scire, Selena: Capriccio (if at high investment) / Vera: Rozen.

  • From Cradle Parade: Lamia: Lost Lullaby, Karenina: Scire, Selena: Capriccio (if at high investment) / Vera: Rozen. 

Ice

• Optimal Members:

  • Lucia: Plume, Chrome: Glory, Wanshi: Hypnos.

  • From Renaissant le Fantastique: Lucia: Plume, Chrome: Glory, Ayla: Kaleido. .

Notes:

• • The Ice team offers a defensive playstyle that utilizes the survivability of Chrome: Glory and Wanshi: Hypnos in addition to the extremely potent effects of the Fighter’s Wings Bond and possibly Fortress Bond as well.

  • The addition of Ayla: Kaleido in Renaissant le Fantastique significantly boosts the Ice team’s DPS, although it will still lag behind in pure DPS output compared to the elements that have the newer attacker characters.

Uniframes

• Optimal Members:

  • Selena: Tempest, Noan: Arca (+Chrome: Arclight)

  • Qu: Pavo, Pulao: Dragontoll (+Rosetta: Rigor or Hanying: Zitherwoe from The Floating Reverie)

• Notes:

  • A Lightning Uniframe setup offers significant damage output with Outlier & Matrix: Lightning bonds. 

  • Chrome: Arclight should be prioritized in your roster and will also benefit this composition due to Fighter’s Wings & Lightning.

• • With only three Bonds synergies to prioritize, this setup is both easy to acquire and use due to the sheer presence of Uniframe/Outlier & Lightning units. Fighter’s Wings can be set at bond level two while damage is prioritized. 

• • Selena: Tempest and Noan: Arca both have fantastic AOE capabilities, wiping out whole waves as they spawn if Bond level is set properly.
