Cursed Realm is the new AFK Arena mode where players have to fight the boss and 5 small teams using different team formations to grab countless massive rewards. You can access to it via the Hellscape building inside the Guild section.
Players with a high Resonating Crystal level or high Resonating Crystal max level limit are eligible to enter the Cursed Realm.
You need to have numerous well-geared heroes to gain a decent amount of damage in this mode as you need 6 different teams, 5 for the mini enemy formations (Shadow Guards), and 1 for the final boss.
All the bosses in Cursed Realm are from Twisted Realms.
Building up 6 best formations based on hundreds of heroes could be a super difficult task for most players but don’t worry, we have the best teams as well as budget Cursed Realm teams here for you!

Story
The lives of mortals are wrought with suffering and hardship, as they find themselves in a perpetual war with their own desires.
Ezizh Hellborn knows this fact very well, and the “Cursed Realm” is the prison he has built to cage them in.
Ezizh allowed for these feeble human minds to run amok in this killing field. Some humans seek out the fantasies that satisfy their deepest desires within this dreamworld, while others drive themselves crazy by instead stumbling into never-ending nightmares.
Those who are left trapped within the nightmare find themselves merging into the nightmare, becoming a part of it. They are the victims of this curse, and also its executors.
Now it’s your turn.
