Brimstone
Applies 1 stack of burn and poison every second to all enemies within a {[range]} tile radius (max {[max_burn_stacks]} stacks). Burn deals {[min_burn_damage]}-{[max_burn_damage]} damage per stack per second and poison deals {[min_poison_damage]}-{[max_poison_damage]} damage per stack per second.

Rating
Brimstone is a B-tier Stone-line evolved ball with a dual passive DOT aura. Every second, it simultaneously applies burn and poison stacks to every enemy within its radius. Two different DOT sources accumulate in parallel on all enemies.
Compared to single-DOT specialists like Sun (burn only, S-tier) or Swamp (poison emphasis, A-tier), Brimstone trades depth for breadth — it accumulates both simultaneously but each at a slower rate. Against builds that can leverage both DOT types, this dual coverage has meaningful synergy potential.
The B-tier rating reflects moderate standalone DPS versus dedicated alternatives. However, Brimstone is accessible and serviceable, particularly as a foundation for mixed-DOT builds.
When to Pick
- Mixed DOT builds that want both burn and poison accumulating simultaneously
- Situations where passive area coverage is needed but dedicated S-tier options aren't available
- Long rounds where both DOT types can reach maximum stacks
- Synergy with both burn-enhancing and poison-enhancing passives simultaneously
Best Characters
| Character | Synergy | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-DOT hybrids | A | Both burn and poison stacking simultaneously for two compound DOT sources |
| Endurance builds | B | Both DOTs reach max stacks over time for combined peak DPS |
| Wide-area builds | B | Radius coverage applies to all enemies in range simultaneously |
Recommended Passives
| Passive | Synergy |
|---|---|
| Burn damage up | Increases per-second burn damage per stack |
| Poison damage up | Increases per-second poison damage per stack |
| DOT stack cap increase | Higher cap for both DOTs simultaneously |
| AOE radius increase | Wider coverage applies to more enemies per second |
| DOT duration extension | Stacks persist longer between enemy contacts |
TL;DR
Brimstone applies both burn and poison simultaneously every second to all enemies in radius. B-tier dual-DOT aura. Lower per-DOT efficiency than specialists but useful in multi-DOT builds that leverage both types.
