Is it normal if "Cursed Doll" doesn't work with my Sukuna?
« on: September 03, 2015, 08:24:58 PM »
I mean, seriously. The item's description reads "When held, skills that wouldn't hit due to type immunity will now work."
Can I be explained why despite this, my Sukuna still miss her Fight moves against Nether puppets?

I just made the bitter discovery after using Transcend Form against a Merupo Merlin. Needless to say, my poor Sukuna commited a brilliant suicide instead of the usual overkill.
And I'm pretty sure that I haven't missed due to the attack's accuracy, as I boosted her accuracy (+Fo.Atk, with Concentrate Stance) beforehand.

I haven't played TPDP, but considering it takes a lot of things from Pokemon, I'm going to assume that the Cursed Doll works just like the Ring Target does in Pokemon games: the holder of the item no longer has whatever immunities their typing would have granted them, as opposed to the opponent losing their immunities.

Ok after some testing figured it out. The translation of Cursed Doll is a little misleading.

Cursed Doll causes attacks AGAINST the one holding it to be effective.

Test confirmed using Parsee Assist holding Cursed Doll against a Wild Reimu Normal
turn1 Furious Recitation failed
turn2 Shark Trade gave Reimu Cursed Doll
turn3 Furious Recitation hit

So giving it to the opponent by trading is the only use of this item?
Well, it can be useful against those who spam Thieving Wind, I guess.
