Wand of Poison
The Wand of Poison is a magical wand in Remixed Dungeon that inflicts the Poison status effect on targeted enemies.
Stats
- Charges: 2 (base) + 1 per upgrade level (max 9 charges)
- Recharge: Gradual recharge during gameplay when below maximum charges
- Effect Duration: 5 + effective level turns (affected by target's poison resistance)
Description
The Wand of Poison releases a bolt of toxic energy that poisons its target. When used against an enemy, it inflicts the poison status effect causing damage over time. The poison will last for 5 + the wand's effective level turns, with the duration affected by the target's resistance (e.g., from Ring of Elements).
Mechanics
- Effect: Applies the Poison status effect for (5 + effective level) turns
- Target: Single target in line of sight
- Range: Limited by Ballistica distance calculation
- Effectiveness: Duration affected by target's poison resistance (from Ring of Elements, etc.)
- Damage: Poison damage is (time remaining / 3) + 1 per turn
- Recharge: Recharges gradually during gameplay when below maximum charges
Strategy
- Excellent for dealing sustained damage without direct engagement
- Particularly effective against enemies that don't kill you immediately, allowing the poison to work
- Good against groups when enemies are adjacent to each other (poison may spread)
- Less effective against poison-immune creatures or undead
- Use to soften powerful enemies before direct combat
- Effective against high-HP enemies that take time to defeat
Availability
- Found in stores and occasionally as dungeon loot
- Can be used by the Wandmaker NPC to create upgraded versions
- Relatively common wand type
