Cursed Techniques Overview
What Cursed Techniques are, how rarity tiers work, and how to read each technique's moves.
A Cursed Technique (CT) is your character’s combat identity on ARC ONE - a full moveset pulled from a Jujutsu Kaisen character. You roll for techniques with Cursed Scrolls; rarer scrolls have a higher chance at stronger techniques. See Cursed Scrolls for spin odds.
Rarity tiers
Every technique belongs to a tier. Higher tiers are rarer to roll and generally stronger. Browse the full move lists per tier:

Grades and unlocks
Most techniques gate their stronger moves behind your Grade (your progression rank) and certain achievements:
| Requirement | What it means |
|---|---|
| Grade 4 -> Grade 1 | Your sorcerer grade. Higher grade = more of your kit unlocked (Grade 1 is above Grade 2). |
| Semi-Grade | A step between grades (e.g. Semi-Grade 1, Semi-Grade 2). |
| Special Grade | The top combat grade - required to use any Domain Expansion. |
| Domain Expansion Achievement | Needed before any technique’s Domain can be used. |
| Black Flash Achievement | Unlocks certain peak states (e.g. Mahito’s Instant Spirit Body). |
| Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT) | Healing-tier unlock that gates some advanced moves. |
Reading a move
Each move lists what it does in plain text. An italic note (like this) under a move is a requirement or condition for that specific move.
Domains are end-game
Nearly every technique’s Domain Expansion needs the Domain Expansion Achievement and Special Grade. Domains are the strongest moves in the game - treat that grind as the real unlock.
CT storage: keep more than one technique
You are not locked to a single technique. The CT storage bench holds techniques you are not using, and you can swap your active technique at the bench whenever you are out of danger.
- Everyone gets 1 storage slot free.
- Buy up to 2 more with Arc Coins - the second slot costs 5,000 and the third 12,000.
- Earn bonus slots on top: certain Cursed Pact tiers grant a permanent extra slot that stacks beyond the buyable three, so a dedicated season can grow your bench past the shop’s ceiling.
Swaps are blocked while you are in combat, inside a raid, competing in the Culling Games, or transformed - pick your moment.
A style no scroll contains
Rumor in the colonies: an informant takes messages for a man with no cursed energy at all. Whatever he teaches does not come from a scroll. Keep an eye on the quest board.
