Insect Web Curio In Honkai: Star Rail

Insect WebCurio inHonkai: Star Railis considered a Negative Curio, but it has both good and bad effects. The Insect Web Curio places theParasitizeddebuff on the character with thehighest ATK, causing them to lose 20% of their current HPat the start of every turn. However, in return, the character will also gain a whopping50% extra ATK. If the debuffed unit is knocked down, this debuff will be transferred to a random character.

Basically, if players havesufficientHonkai: Star Railhealer, like Luocha, then this Curio is more of a buff than a debuff. However, if the team is lacking a proper healer, it’s highly advised not to take this Curio. The debuff will never disappear, and the Curio will take effect in every battle for as long as you have it. Fortunately, there are some ways to get rid of a Negative Curio, like using a Curio that replaces all Curio, or through some Occurrences.
