What is Curve Shot?

Curve Shot bends the shuttle. It is epic in the catalog. The Season 5 meta table ranks it C because defenders learn the arc. Play guides and a patch note still treat the curve, including a change to the first shot, as a real scoring tool in 1v1 and 2v2. Both can be true: it wins until the opponent has seen it, then it becomes a read. It is less useful in 3v3, where more players cover the bend.

FAQ

Curve Shot questions

What is the pity?

Guides say a legendary awakening is guaranteed at 80 spins. That does not publish the rate of a specific legendary such as Wall Portals.

Can I change awakening during a point?

No. Choose the awakening in the lobby before the match, using the queue you are about to play.
