Cursed Energy Discharge is one of the strongest techniques in Kaizen right now, and for good reason. It turns you into a ranged damage machine, letting you blast enemies with sustained cursed energy attacks instead of getting stuck in melee range. The grind to unlock it is real, but the payoff is worth it.
How does Cursed Energy Discharge work in Kaizen?
Unlike some techniques that lean on physical combos, Cursed Energy Discharge is built entirely around ranged output. Every ability in the kit fires cursed energy forward, sideways, or downward, keeping you at a safe distance while piling on damage. The technique takes clear inspiration from Ryu's overwhelming cursed energy output in Jujutsu Kaisen lore.
The key thing to understand before you start farming: this is not a standalone skill you can buy individually. Kaizen uses a bundle system where abilities are locked to their parent technique. You unlock Cursed Energy Discharge as a full cursed technique, and all five moves become available as you hit the required mastery levels.
How to unlock Cursed Energy Discharge in Kaizen
There are two ways in: grind the materials or spend 919 Robux to skip the farming entirely. If you're going the free route, head to the school courtyard and speak with Dr. Shiro Kato, the NPC in a lab coat standing to the left of the Principal. You can also hit the red Shop button on the left side of your screen to open the menu directly.
Once inside, navigate to the Permanent Cursed Techniques section at the top. Here's every resource you need to unlock it:
| Requirement | Amount | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Yen | 3,000,000 | Missions, quests, and general gameplay |
| Grade 2 Cores | 50 | Beetle Curse, Demon Head, Frozen Corpse |
| Grade 1 Cores | 35 | Cave Mole, Cursed Wolf, Cyclops, Grin Curse, Koraker Curse |
| Cursed Hair Strands | 25 | 50% drop chance from the Ryu World Boss |
| Cursed Comb Fragments | 10 | 9% drop chance from the Ryu World Boss |
The Ryu World Boss spawns near South-East Shibuya. The Cursed Hair Strands are manageable at 50% drop rate, but the Cursed Comb Fragments at 9% will require repeated runs. Plan for a grind on those fragments specifically.

What are all the Cursed Energy Discharge abilities?
All five abilities unlock progressively as your mastery level increases. Here's the full breakdown:
| Ability | Mastery Level | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Granite Blast | 0 | Fires a concentrated cursed energy beam straight ahead for reliable single-target damage |
| Granite Rain | 20 | Launches you into the air and rains down blasts below, excellent for crowd control in PvE |
| Beam Ring | 65 | Two beams lock onto a target, dealing sustained damage while briefly stunning them |
| Every Last Drop | 80 | Charged version of Granite Blast that fires a massive sustained beam dealing heavy damage over time |
| Absolute Granite | 125 | Domain Expansion that damages enemies on activation, boosts skill damage, reduces cooldowns, and adds auto-targeting |
The early kit is functional but straightforward. Granite Rain at mastery 20 is where the technique starts feeling genuinely strong for PvE content. Absolute Granite at mastery 125 is the reason you're building this technique: a Domain Expansion that essentially turns every skill into a better version of itself while active.
What clan should you use with Cursed Energy Discharge?
The Ishigori Clan is the clear answer here. Its passive bonuses are built for exactly this kind of energy-heavy playstyle. The signature passive, Flawless Flow, increases your Cursed Energy regeneration and reduces skill cooldowns, which directly addresses the two biggest pressure points of this technique: sustaining energy during long fights and getting your abilities back faster.
The full stat package from the Ishigori Clan:
- +10 Melee
- +10 Cursed Energy
- +9 Stamina
- +13 Defense
- +6 Weapon
- +3.75% Cursed Energy
- +3.75% Health
- +8% Max Cursed Energy
That +8% Max Cursed Energy and the percentage-based Cursed Energy bonuses stack well with direct stat investment. The combination of Flawless Flow and those percentage buffs means you spend less time waiting on cooldowns and more time firing.
Is the Robux unlock worth it?
At 919 Robux, skipping the grind costs roughly $8 to $10 depending on your Robux bundle. The Cursed Comb Fragments at 9% drop rate are the real bottleneck. If you're farming the Ryu World Boss repeatedly and not hitting those drops, the time cost adds up fast. For players who want the technique immediately and have the Robux available, the direct purchase is a legitimate shortcut. For everyone else, the farming loop is entirely doable with patience.
