Fires projectiles that fall from above, covering an area around the player while continuously draining HP. Unlike Dominus Agony's aura buff or Dominus Anger's piercing horizontal projectile, Dominus Hatred's overhead attack covers a wide zone regardless of which direction enemies are approaching from. The top-down trajectory makes it effective against groups surrounding the player.

Becomes consistently available after reaching level 6 with it during a run. One of three Dominus-series weapons — all three share the HP drain mechanic as a design cost for their power output.

Max Dominus Hatred (Lv 8), carry Dominus Anger (both at Lv8 for union; Dominus Agony may also be required for a three-way union), and open an elite-drop chest after 10:00 to evolve. If all three Dominus weapons are available in the run, leveling all three to Lv8 is recommended. The post-evolution weapon name is currently unconfirmed.

• Overhead falling projectiles hit enemies regardless of movement direction — coverage is omnidirectional
• Multiple projectiles can land simultaneously on dense enemy clusters for burst damage
• Part of Dominus three-weapon union evolution path
• Top-down trajectory may reach enemies beyond obstacles

• Continuous HP drain makes HP recovery passives mandatory
• Neglecting HP management risks self-elimination mid-run
• Running three Dominus weapons simultaneously occupies multiple weapon slots
• Falling trajectory may struggle to reliably hit fast-moving single targets
• Evolution destination currently unknown

• Barlowe Ivo: strong Dominus-series synergy (the character whose kill count unlocks Dominus Agony)
• High-max-HP builds: increases the HP buffer that absorbs the drain cost
• Imelda: +10% Growth speeds leveling of all three Dominus weapons simultaneously

• Dominus Anger: mandatory for union evolution (top priority)
• Pummarola: HP regen continuously offsets the Dominus drain cost (essential)
• Hollow Heart: max HP expansion increases the buffer for absorbing the drain
• Spinach: +10% Might raises falling projectile damage
• Candelabrador: wider area extends the impact zone of each falling projectile

• IX Divine Bloodline: crit compounding on falling hits raises DPS
• XXI Chaos in the Dark Night: max HP bonus expands the buffer for the HP drain cost

• Early (0–10 min): Level Dominus Hatred while securing Pummarola first — the HP drain starts immediately and recovery is needed early. Stay inside enemy clusters to maximize the chance of multiple falling projectiles landing simultaneously.
• Mid (10–20 min): Secure Dominus Anger (and ideally Dominus Agony) for union evolution. Getting all three weapons to Lv8 is the priority goal. Hollow Heart expands the HP buffer throughout the run.
• Late (20+ min): Post-evolution weapon delivers high damage output. Pummarola and Spinach together sustain HP recovery while the overhead coverage efficiently processes dense surrounding clusters.

Q: How do I unlock Dominus Hatred?
A: Reach level 6 with it during a run — after that threshold, it becomes consistently available in subsequent runs.

Q: Can I aim the falling projectiles?
A: No — the overhead projectiles fall automatically around the player. Staying inside enemy clusters increases the chance of multiple projectiles landing on the same targets simultaneously.

Q: Does the union evolution require Dominus Agony too?
A: Current data shows Dominus Anger as the primary evolution partner. However, all three Dominus weapons may be required for a three-way union — leveling all three to Lv8 is the safest approach.
