Accelerant

SilentPowerRare
Poison is triggered 1 additional time.
  • Poison: normally ticks once at the start of the enemy's turn, dealing damage equal to the stack and then dropping by 1.
  • With Accelerant on you: that tick happens 1 extra time, or 2 extra times once upgraded, and each extra tick also lowers the stack by 1.
  • Example: an enemy with 10 Poison takes 10 then 9 that turn and sits at 8 afterward.
  • Rules: the power itself is inert; the Poison power looks for it. Copies stack, and the trigger count never exceeds the current stack.

When to take Accelerant

Best once Poison is already your main damage plan and you have big appliers like Deadly Poison or Bouncing Flask. Upgrade early, since extra ticks nearly triple output on tall stacks.
