Rating
Sacrifice is an A-tier dual-debuff ball that applies both bleed and curse simultaneously on every hit. Where Phantom only applies curse, Sacrifice layers two debuff types in a single throw — bleed stacks up as ongoing DOT while curse accumulates its hit counter independently.
The compound damage cycle: bleed ticks steadily throughout, then when the curse counter is reached, a burst fires on top of the existing DOT. Maximum bleed stacks + frequent curse detonations creates substantial sustained + burst damage from one ball slot.
Sacrifice's dual-debuff nature makes it efficient for builds that want both DOT depth and burst damage without dedicating two separate ball slots to each.
When to Pick
- Builds that want both sustained DOT and periodic burst from a single ball
- Curse-heavy builds where adding bleed alongside curse doubles the damage output
- Multi-hit builds that rapidly accumulate both bleed stacks and curse hit counts
- Complement to other bleed or curse sources for compounding debuff layers
Best Characters
| Character | Synergy | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Bleed-focused builds | S | Rapid bleed stacking from multi-hits while simultaneously charging curse counters |
| Multi-hit builds | A | More hits fill bleed stacks AND curse counts simultaneously |
| Debuff hybrid builds | A | Combine with other DOT sources for multi-layer compound damage |
Recommended Passives
| Passive | Synergy |
|---|---|
| Bleed damage up | More DOT per bleed stack |
| Curse burst damage up | Higher burst when curse detonates |
| Bleed stack cap increase | More stacks = higher sustained DOT ceiling |
| Curse trigger count reduction | Curse detonates with fewer hits = more frequent bursts |
| Fire rate increase | Faster accumulation of both debuffs |
TL;DR
Sacrifice applies bleed and curse simultaneously on every hit — sustained DOT plus periodic burst from one ball. A-tier dual debuff. Strongest in multi-hit builds that stack both debuffs rapidly.
