General Legendary Gear
Endless Curse has 9 general legendaries that aren't tied to a class: they can drop no matter which hero you play, and all seven classes can wear them. Instead of changing a specific skill, they cover what class legendaries don't: survival, cooldowns and farming.
01General vs. class legendaries
- Anyone can find them, anyone can wear them: class legendaries only drop while you play that class and only work on that class; general legendaries have no such limit.
- They drop from Normal: none of the nine have a difficulty requirement, and the higher the difficulty, the bigger the numbers.
- They compete with class legendaries for slots: you can only wear one item per slot, so think about which slot to give up. Each item below says who it suits.
02The nine general legendaries (9 items)
The numbers in the effects are the values when it drops on Normal / Nightmare / Hell, in that order.
Butcher's Cleaver Arma
Kills have a chance to make the corpse explode and hit nearby monsters, with blast damage that grows with hero level. Feels great when monsters pour in wave after wave, but it takes your weapon slot, so it's usually a stopgap until you find a class weapon.
Heart of Fury Amuleto
Fury fills faster, and your ultimate deals +30% damage. Note that all seven classes' ultimate legendaries are in the amulet slot too, competing for the same spot.
Good for: Every class
Phoenix Feather Amuleto
Revive from a killing blow with part of your HP and 2 seconds of invulnerability, once per run. The best insurance when pushing a new stage or facing a new boss.
Good for: Sorcerer, Necromancer, Assassin
Ring of Greed Anillo
More gold, and normal monsters are ×1.5 as likely to drop gear. Wear it to farm gold and gear, then swap back for bosses.
Galeforce Boots Botas
Higher move speed, and −15% damage taken while moving. Suits ranged classes that never stop moving.
Good for: Ranger, Sorcerer, Necromancer
Thornmail Armadura
Monsters that touch you take several times the damage they dealt you. The more you're surrounded, the more they take back; ranged attacks don't trigger it.
Good for: Knight, Barbarian, Paladin
Hourglass of Time Yelmo
Shorter cooldowns on all skills, and your basic attack is 20% faster too. A helm that works for every class and every build.
Good for: Every class
Kingslayer Anillo
More damage against bosses and golden elites. Put it on for stage bosses and boss farming.
03Pick by what you need
| Your situation | Wear first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You keep dying | Phoenix Feather | The Phoenix Feather gives you an extra life; the Galeforce Boots' damage reduction while moving helps too. |
| Your skills don't fire fast enough | Hourglass of Time | The Hourglass of Time cuts every skill's cooldown. The most universal item of all. |
| You can't damage bosses | Kingslayer | Kingslayer boosts damage only against bosses and golden elites. Put it on for stage bosses. |

| You want your ultimate more often | Heart of Fury | The Heart of Fury fills your Fury faster and makes your ultimate hit harder. |
04Sharing slots with class legendaries
You can only wear one item per slot. The table shows how many general legendaries each slot has, and how many class legendaries each class has in that slot, for comparison.

05FAQ
Which general legendary is most worth hunting first?
The Hourglass of Time. Shorter cooldowns on every skill and a faster basic attack, useful for all seven classes. If you die a lot, get the Phoenix Feather first.
How many times per run can the Phoenix Feather revive me?
Only once per run. After reviving you're invulnerable for 2 seconds, so use that time to get out of danger.
Does Thornmail work against ranged monsters?
No. Only monsters that touch you take reflected damage; attacks from a distance don't trigger it.
Do the Butcher's Cleaver and the Necromancer's Charnel Plate stack?
No. Both make corpses explode on kill; wear both and only the higher chance counts.
