Envenom is a Rare Power for the Silent. Any time an Attack deals unblocked damage to an enemy, the victim also immediately gets 1 Icon Poison Poison.

When Upgraded, Envenom costs 1 Energy instead of 2.

Mechanics[]

  • The Envenom buff can stack, so playing multiple copies of Envenom causes each unblocked Attack to inflict more Poison.
  • When using a multi-hit Attack (e.g. Dagger Spray, Eviscerate), every individual hit that deals unblocked damage will inflict Poison.
  • The Envenom effect applies directly after the damage effect of a card, occurring before the other effects of the Attack played. This can be useful for cards like Bane, as it activates its double-hit even without prior poison, or Neutralize, which it can allow to apply Icon Weak Weak after potentially removing an Icon Artifact Artifact stack.

Tips[]

  • Sadistic Nature and Envenom are a ruthlessly effective combo, as any unblocked Attack will also inflict 1 Poison and an extra 5 damage. This is particularly devastating with Shiv decks, making each Shiv deal 9 damage and stack Poison.
  • The SnakeSkull Snecko Skull effectively doubles the Poison inflicted by this card, producing even more damage in the long run.
  • Envenom is extremely useful for quickly removing stacks of Icon Artifact Artifact, as each unblocked Attack will remove 1 stack of Artifact immediately.
