Outbreak

SilentPowerUncommon
Every 3 times you apply Poison, deal 11 damage to ALL enemies.

A 1-Energy Power. Every third time you apply Poison it deals 11 damage (15 upgraded) to every enemy. The code counts application events, not amounts: a card that applies Poison three times counts three, a multi-target effect counts once per enemy, and a single big dose counts once. The damage is unpowered, so Strength and Vulnerable do not change it, but Block absorbs it.

When to take Outbreak

Take it once the deck applies Poison often, not just heavily, since Bouncing Flask, Noxious Fumes in group fights and Envenom feed it best. Upgrade it for a bigger burst.
