Arakune's curse has been significantly altered in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift. Unlike in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, where he cursed immediately on hit, Arakune must now build up a Curse meter, and only enters Fever Mode once it is full. To compensate, however, he cannot be hit out of Fever Mode like in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, and remains capable of dealing massive damage (as much as 12k) in a single curse combo.
