Crimson Curse



The crimson curse is a permanent status effect, much like a disease, that gives a hero unique conditions. It is only found in the Crimson Court DLC.

Passive
When first contracted, the curse is its passive state. In this state heroes receive:
 * -5% Stun, Blight, and Bleed resist
 * -10% Max Hp
 * -5% virtue chance
 * +1 SPD

If you give a vampire The Blood while the curse is passive, they receive +10 DODGE and +3 SPD.

Craving
Like hunger activations, eventually your vampire will get hungry, and enter a state known as Craving. At this point their condition gets worse;
 * -10% Stun, Blight, and Bleed resist
 * -20% Max Hp
 * -10% virtue chance
 * +2 SPD

In addition to the debuffs, the hero can also randomly do the following things: At this point you can ignore their craving and let them get worse, or you can give them The Blood, which will send them into Bloodlust mode. If you ignore, however, they will become Wasting.
 * Stress out party members that use curios, believing the curio may contain the blood.

Wasting
In this state, the hero starts getting desperate, as flies start appearing around their body. Their stats are the same as Craving, however they have the addional penality. Past this point, if the hero does not recieve The Blood until their next blood check, they will die. (Confirmation Needed?)
 * -10% Deathblow Resist

Bloodlust
If a Craving vampire is given The Blood, they enter Bloodlust state. Here is where the true power of the curse is revealed;
 * +25% DMG
 * +4 SPD
 * +15% Stun, Blight, and Bleed resist

While in Bloodlust mode, the Vampire also can randomly do the following things:
 * Attack teammates, possibly inflicting Bleed.
 * Scream twisted toughts related to the blood, dealing stress damage to the party.
 * Deny heals and Buffs.
 * Move foward, in a rage to attack.
 * Stress out teammates who are attacked.
 * Other Effects unknown.

After a while, the bloodlust will calm down, returning the curse to its passive state.

Be wary, however, for the curse can spread while you're away from the Hamlet, and while in a dungeon, you may come across those who wish to end the curse by any means necessary.
