Poison Tiers & Lethality

Applying poison to blades requires the Poisoning skill:

  • Lesser Poison: Mild ticking damage.
  • Regular Poison: Moderate ticking damage.
  • Greater Poison: Severe damage tick.
  • Deadly Poison (DP): Ticks for heavy damage every 3 seconds, preventing spellcasting and bandage application! Requires Greater Cure to survive.

Explosion Potions & Tossing Timing

Explosion potions are famous in classic PvP:

  • When double-clicked, a timer counts down over your head: `3... 2... 1...`
  • You must target an enemy or floor tile to throw the potion before it detonates in your hands!
  • Master duelists coordinate "purple potion" tosses to detonate at the exact instant their offensive spells strike, creating lethal burst combos.
