Double Death Scythe Poison Build
Double Death Scythe Poison Build
Mecánica Principal
A heavy-poison build that runs two Death Scythes to push the poison counter to 80-100 in a single round. Combined with Snake (Venomancer)'s cleanse-prevention, the opponent is locked into being shaved to 0 HP roughly 20 seconds in.
Death Scythe deals self-damage, so the key is to maintain your own HP with healing items or lifesteal weapons while fighting.
Subclase Recomendada: Venomancer
Venomancer is mandatory at Round 8. Snake's cleanse-prevention and poison-duration boost maximize the value of running two Death Scythes.
Objetos Clave y Colocación
| Objeto | Rol |
|---|---|
| Death Scythe x2 | Main poison damage source |
| Pestilence Flask | Poison source (multiple copies preferred) |
| Green Gem (Chipped Emerald or up) | Amplifies poison damage |
| Healing items (Healing Herbs, Health Potion) | Covers self-damage |
| Hungry Blade or Bloodthorn | Lifesteal to offset self-damage |
| A few Pets | Required adjacency for Snake activation |
Cluster the two Death Scythes and socket Emeralds plus Green Gems to maximize poison output. Place healing items near the Scythes so the self-damage / lifesteal balance is easy to maintain.
Orden de Construcción
Juego Temprano (Rounds 1-6)
Prioritize Pestilence Flask and Healing Herbs. Move Wooden Sword → Poison Dagger to seed the poison floor. Hunt the first Death Scythe early.
Juego Medio (Rounds 7-12)
Take Venomancer at Round 8. Buy Snake and slot the first Death Scythe into the Ranger's Bag. Socket Green Gems and Emeralds into the poison weapons.
Juego Tardío (Round 13+)
Land the second Death Scythe and shift to dual operation. Line up 2-3 healing items so the self-damage is fully offset. When everything connects, the opponent dies to poison roughly 20 seconds in.
Tácticas y Posicionamiento
The risk of this build is "you also chip yourself while attacking". Don't force the issue until the healing loop is online — let poison stacking carry you. Death Scythe self-damage is significant, so the standard pattern is to backstop it with Hungry Blade lifesteal.
Enfrentamientos Difíciles y Contrarrestadores
- Opening-rush archetypes: self-damage stacks with incoming damage and your HP plummets. Layer shield + helm early.
- High-armor: poison passes through, but Death Scythe's direct damage is mitigated through armor.
- Same-class poison mirror: it becomes a cleanse-prevention race, so prioritize fastest-possible Snake +20 Lucky.
Variaciones
Splice in Hexblade (Cursed Dagger) for the adjacent-weapon damage boost on Death Scythe. A variant of "Death Scythe + Pandemonium Tank Scythe" instead of two Death Scythes also works well — random powerful effects raise the burst ceiling.
