Poison Attack

For Cerberus's poison, see Cerberus/Skills#Gas Attack.

Details

Passively causes melee attacks to Poison the target, steadily draining the target's HP over time. Poison rate is ?. Damage is based on the target's HP; the higher the monster's current HP, the more it loses, and vice-versa. Poison ignores defensive stats and Mana Shield. This makes poison effective on enemies with high HP and defensive stats. Poison cannot lower a targets HP past 1. If the target has 1 HP, the poison will do no damage and display a 0 for Poison damage. Poison damage cannot score criticals. Not be confused with Mirage Missile's shock state or Dischord's sustained damage. Attacks blocked with the Defense and Counterattack skills will not inflict Poison status. Certain monsters may have a resistance to poison, or will be immune altogether. Resistance is a percent value and reduces poison damage by that percent. Targets that are immune to poison will never become poisoned. Pierrot Marionettes and Colossus Marionettes are immune to poisoning. Berserk makes the player temporarily immune to poison. Having a Poison Immunity set will make the wearer immune to poison, though equipping it while already poisoned does not cure it. Antidote Potions, Respite, Berserk, and Holy Shower can cure poisons, though Respite has a specific chance. Players can gain Poison Attack by applying a Poison Bottle or Potion on their weapon, by using the Venom Sword, or having a Coral Cobra or Desert Cobra pet. Poison Attack through a poisoned weapon only works on melee or archery attacks. The poison effect on a poisoned weapon is temporary and wears off after ?, which is indicated by a message stating '(Item's) Poison has evaporated'. Final Hit (which prevents Durability loss on Close-Combat Weapons) seems to allow for poisoning, without causing it to evaporate from the weapon. The Venom Sword passively and permanently hosts a poison effect.
