Direct answer

Select a unit in the game's curse flow and expect a mixed result: one random buff and one random nerf. The number of Fingers required for a curse is not published.

How the curse works

  1. 01 · Pick a unit

    The verified mechanic targets one of your units. Choose the unit you intend to affect; the precise menu path and a list of safe targets are not published in the verified data.

  2. 02 · Choose the curse action

    Use the game's Cursed Fingers action on that unit when it is available. The confirmed mechanic is not a straight upgrade: it applies one random buff and one random nerf together.

  3. 03 · Treat the result as a gamble

    Inspect both outcomes before deciding what to do next. The Finger requirement for this action, and any published reroll or undo behavior, are not documented by a verified source.

This planner counts only the listed code rewards and the verified quest payout. It is not a complete balance and does not estimate curses because the Finger requirement is not published.

What is still unpublished

  • The number of Fingers required for a curse: not published.
  • Any curse reroll, undo, or protection behavior: not published.
  • A complete list of which units are safe or optimal targets: not published.

The effect is known; the spending details are not. That distinction is why the planner reports claimable Fingers but never turns an undocumented cost into a fake number. See the full items reference for the wider source trail.
