What Is It? ​

A poison-element short blade that stacks venom layers on every hit. Single-hit damage is modest, but landing 5 consecutive hits triggers a poison burst for bonus damage. Built for close-quarters rapid strikes.

• Type: Melee / Quality: 5 / Element: Poison
• Drop: 20% from the Warden (works on vanilla maps too) / Dingdang's Shop (Affinity 5, stock 1)

Stats ​

• Dmg 22 / Speed 2.1 / Range 1.4m / Crit 8% / Crit Dmg 1.5x / Pierce 2
• Block 0.2 / Stamina 4/hit / Hit Delay 0.06s / Bleed 0% / Move Speed 112%

Venom Injection (Passive) ​

Each melee hit applies 1 poison stack to the target (max 5 layers):

• Stacks expire after 6 seconds without a follow-up hit
• Reaching 5 stacks triggers Toxic Burst: deals 35 poison damage and clears all stacks
• Stacking can restart immediately after a burst

What It Looks Like ​

Swings leave a venom-green trail. When the 5th stack triggers the toxic burst, a poison ring bursts at the target's feet and throws out shards, with a muffled bubbling pop — hearing it means the burst actually resolved.

Tips ​

• Fast attack speed (2.1) and low stamina cost (4/hit) let you stack venom quickly
• Burst damage is fixed at 35 — does not scale with crits or weapon stats
• 1.4m range requires you to be right on top of enemies — risky when surrounded
• Low crit stats mean early single-hit damage is weak; venom stacking is how you deal competitive DPS
