Projectile modifier spells that add a trail of a material to a projectile as it moves.

Poison Trail is a projectile modifier that causes projectiles to emit a continuous poison stream, while also applying the Poisoned status directly on impact to a creature. The pools of poison that form will evaporate over time into flammable poison gas.

Tips

• The poison liquid formed deals damage both through inflicting Poisoned stains and via material damage.
  • The material damage to enemies is typically 1/4 that of acid or lava if there are no resistances/immunities involved.
  • The material damage to you is 1/5 that of acid and 1/3 that of lava.
• The on-hit Poisoned effect (not the stain) will last for 720 frames, or 12 seconds, enough for 8 ticks of its effect.
• The amount of poison gas formed is typically small, but is long-lasting and can lead to suffocation damage and is easily ignited.
• This is the most reliable way of obtaining poison for Alchemy.
• As there is no way to become immune to being Poisoned, this modifier is arguably more dangerous to you than the enemy. Exercise caution when using it.
• While it is not a direct immunity, the Freeze Field perk prevents damage as frozen poison deals no damage.
• Poison is an exceptional damage source against the last boss as it deals %health damage.
• Normally, the lingering Poisoned status effect cannot kill you or enemies directly, similar to Toxic Sludge, since it stops dealing damage if the target is at 5% hp or less. If one tick of damage deals more than 5%, it can become lethal. NG+ and Nightmare mode multiply the damage you take and can make poison and toxic lethal.
