You don't get invitations immediately because you don't need them. You can avoid the Court indefinitely, allowing you to collect blood before you ever need it, giving you all the time you need to set yourself up for an easy time (level 2's, level 4's, level 6's without worrying over blood). Like all zones, it starts at apprentice, and activating it immediately doesn't punish you in any way other than a minor stress-relief penalty if you delay the first mission. It should be activated from the start as that is how it was designed. So, i would say do not activate Court from the start

What is different is upgrade cost and level restrictions, so, start of the game and endgame in radiant and normal are exactly the same in combat difficulty. Radiant isn't really that much easier, as far as i remember, all hero and monster stats are the same. That way you will have trinkets and upgrades to do ok inside, and you will have something to do outside, while game timegates you. So, i would say do not activate Court from the start, but rather wait around mid-game. Although, i started on already completed save, so part of my gripe may come from the fact that game doesn't let you play DLC until you get invitations, which are just timegated.Īlso, crimson curse cant outrite ruin your game now, you get just enough sources of blood, but still is a pain to deal with. I wouldnt say it is not manageable, but i found it as really frustrating experience. It ♥♥♥♥♥ you over, because it forces you to go into new location, but at the same time it doesnt let you until you get invitations. If at least two of your heroes have The Crimson Curse, The Fanatic will start to roam the dungeons in search for the cursed.Honestly, i find crimson court really annoying more than anything.Using Holy Water on a hero afflicted with the Crimson Curse will result in 4 Blight damage for 3 turns, a -5 SPD debuff, and a -40% Blight Resist debuff for 12 turns.Cursed heroes are immune to other diseases.If you give a hero The Blood during Bloodlust, they will receive 35-40 Stress Damage, but the buff will be reapplied. Attack teammates, possibly inflicting Stun or Bleed.Īfter a while, the bloodlust will fade, returning the curse to its passive state.The hero can also randomly do the following things: Here is where the true power of the curse is revealed: If a Craving hero is given The Blood, they enter Bloodlust state.
