Strategy & Tips

Blood Pact is a Cursed Shadow card that trades 3 HP for 8 damage plus Mark application. Mark adds +2 damage per hit, which makes multi-hit cards like Shadow Assassin and Shadow Execution devastating follow-ups. Blood Vow relic eliminates the first curse penalty each combat, making Blood Pact essentially free for the first play.

At higher levels, the 15% per level penalty reduction shrinks the HP loss significantly. With 1.5x damage scaling, the base damage grows well too. Combine with Shadow synergy (play 2+ Shadow cards) to also apply Weakness, further reducing incoming damage to offset the self-harm.

In Cursed Cauldron builds, the x1.5 damage multiplier makes her hit extremely hard. Best in aggressive Shadow decks that aim to end fights quickly before the HP loss accumulates.
