Powers

The following are powers in the Poison powerset.

Poison Alkaloid.png Alkaloid

When used correctly, poisons can be used to heal, as well as harm. Alkaloid consists of just the right amount of amino acids to safely heal a single targeted ally. The healed target is also left with some resistance to Toxic Damage (This Toxic Damage Resistance cannot be Enhanced). You cannot use this power to heal yourself.

Poison ElixirOfLife.png Elixir of Life

With this Elixir, you can revive a fallen ally and turn him into a killing machine. The revived target has increased damage, Accuracy, Endurance recovery, and attack speed, and gains a resistance to Toxic damage. A brew of this sort is not without its side effects. The revived target will soon become very sick and severely weak after about 90 seconds. All effects of the Elixir will eventually wear off. Elixir of Life can only be used on players and cannot be used on your Henchmen.

You can build a Poison Trap on the ground. Any foes that bass near the Poison Trap will cause it to detonate and release its toxic vapors.
