Venomous Curse

Venomous Curse is a projectile modifier that inflicts a decay curse on a creature. Every projectile with this modifier that successfully hits a creature will add a stack of Venomous Curse.

Stacking

Venomous Curse is very effective with rapid fire wands.

Each stack ticks for 2 curse damage every 30 frames for 5 seconds (for a total of 9 ticks or 18 damage (the 10th tick is the same frame as the curse dies so it doesn't happen)). Adding another stack of Venomous Curse to an already affected enemy will reset the timer on the Curse's duration for every existing stack. If stacks of the curse are periodically applied without allowing previous stacks to expire, the total damage grows quadratically in the number of stacks applied and time taken.

Tips

  • Because it deals curse damage, this modifier is very effective to most kinds of enemies, excluding the few minibosses which are immune to Venomous Curse.
  • Damage and/or death caused by Venomous Curse will not spawn any type of blood, so it has an anti-synergy with Vampirism
  • Death resulting from the curse damage will not leave a corpse.
