💡 How to Use
Poisoned Stab is a versatile early-game card that provides immediate physical damage while initiating the Poison status for long-term scaling. It is particularly effective in Act 1 for stripping Artifact charges and providing a reliable way to start the Poison clock on high-health enemies.
⚡ Synergies
relic
Snecko Skull
This relic increases the amount of Poison applied by 1 every time a card applies it. This significantly boosts the efficiency of Poisoned Stab, turning its 3 Poison into 4 for the same energy cost.
card
Envenom
Envenom applies Poison whenever an Attack deals unblocked damage to an enemy. Since Poisoned Stab is an Attack, it triggers this effect, allowing the player to stack multiple layers of Poison with a single card play.
card
Bubble Bubble
Bubble Bubble requires the enemy to already have Poison to apply its massive 9 Poison stack. Poisoned Stab acts as a cheap and reliable enabler to ensure the target is conditioned for Bubble Bubble's high-value follow-up.
relic
Twisted Funnel
Twisted Funnel applies 4 Poison to all enemies at the start of combat, providing an immediate baseline. Poisoned Stab helps maintain and accelerate these stacks on priority targets, preventing the Poison from decaying before the enemy is defeated.
card
Noxious Fumes
While Noxious Fumes provides steady area-of-effect Poison application every turn, it can be slow to ramp up. Poisoned Stab provides the necessary single-target burst to focus down dangerous enemies while the passive scaling builds up.
