Kit interpretation
What Cursed Student (True Love) does
Copies a nearby ally's attack every third regular attack. Equipment turns Bleed stacks into short-lived spirit summons.
These are mechanical roles, not a promise that the unit wins every map. Placement, upgrades, target type, allies and stage duration can change the outcome.
Reroll stop rule
Trait direction
Unbound for scaling; Draconic is a valid Bleed-oriented stop.
Use the trait odds calculator before committing crystals. A mechanically relevant owned trait can be better account value than chasing a rarer headline trait.

Spirit Bats (equipment passive): At 20 Bleed stacks in range, summons a Bat Spirit (capacity 3). Each Bat attacks three times at 25% of the unit's current damage.
Evidence limits: A second publisher's equipment guide matches the stat ranges, Spirit Bats trigger, capacity and damage behavior. Drop chance and pity still rely on the Beebom table.

Original field protocol
How to test Cursed Student (True Love) on your account
- 1. Freeze the conditions
Use the same stage, act, party, upgrade, placement, trait and equipment. Record the game date or visible version.
- 2. Measure the kit's real job
Name the copied ally, lock its upgrade state and count follow-ups; test Promise Ring summons as a separate equipment condition.
- 3. Keep outcomes separate
Record personal output, team effect, control, economy and clear consistency as separate fields. One blended score hides why a unit worked.
- 4. Repeat and label the sample
Start with at least 10 matched runs when practical, publish the exact count and retain failures. A small sample is useful when it is honestly labeled.
