With Season 1 starting on March 17, players interested in Delves can finally start progressing through the later tiers and work on their Delver’s Journey. Valeera Sanguinar is the Delve Companion for the Midnight Expansion, and so, we have a preliminary list of best curios to use with her!
Valeera’s Best Curio Selection
As of the time of posting and start of Season 1, the best overall curios for Valeera Sanguinar are as follows:
- Combat:
Porcelain Blade Tip - Utility:
Mandate of Sacred Death
All in all, all Curios for both Combat and Utility are pretty close in throughput, with Mandate of Sacred Death being the only one that’s really an outlier with how strong it is (especially for it being an Utility Curio). Valeera casts Tools of the Trade every time she’s close to a profession node, so its effects stack up fast. For Combat Curios, Porcelain Blade Tip is slightly above other options.
However, Mandate of Sacred Death does not do anything on delves where there are no profession nodes – namely, the Challenge Delve for Nullaeus, the Delve Nemesis for Midnight Season 1. Details about this fight are currently sparse (as Delve Nemesis are not tested by players on PTR/Betas), so we have the following recommendations for players looking to face Nullaeus once the Season starts. These recommendations are likely to change as we discover more details about the Delve Nemesis.
- Combat: Porcelain Blade Tip
- Utility:
Overflowing Voidspire
Valeera’s Curios in Midnight Season 1

Nether Entropic Kris: Your companion has a chance during combat to afflict an enemy with Nether Entropy causing them to take moderate Void damage over 30 sec.

Motionless Nulltide: Standing still during combat gain stacks of Cosmic Momentum every 6 sec up to 10. Each stack increases your movement speed by 1%.
