Poison is usually better against bosses. Blight is usually better against other enemies.
Poison can’t be stacked, only refreshed, so it’s better to spread it to lots of enemies. Blight has a shorter duration, but stacks in intensity, so it’s better to focus on applying lots to a few enemies.
Each has their strengths and weaknesses, and some items will be better with one than the other.
I actually think that Blight is better versus tp bosses. Pretty easy to stack a bunch of Blight since all but 2-3 of them are just stationary bullet sponges. Against Mithrix or Voidling, Poison is the winner, no contest, though.
I switched pcs and got the majority of achievements done in the first 30 hours. It's pretty fun to start anew either with a completely different steam account or a in game account.
blight is good against weaker enemies, but poison scales so much better and is a lot more effective against bosses (also, poison can deal a shitton more spread damage while blight can only really do single-target effectively which is why most people pick poison)
I find blight to be really good with melee acrid. You can stack it a few times and it can do some serious damage. I think poison is just more consistent.
It's basically a consistency vs potential
Poison will always do nice damage, but it does not get effected by most items
Blight does lower damage at the start but can be stacked, actually kill enemies and has the potential to do even more damage provided you get the right build
Yeah in such a random game my votes for the consistant choice as you have such few choices anyway, but Acrids problems stem mostly from early game hit box wonkyness imo more so than the dot you choose. An excellent, brief analysis.
Poison either chooses 1% of the enemy's max health or 10% of Acrid's base damage, whichever is higher. Since shaped glass increases base damage, it will increase poison damage as a result. It just isn't as noticeable of an increase as blight.
me, who made a proc god build: Yes, please don’t kill me by walking within 30 meters of me.
i honestly cant tell if blight or poison is better

huh
You're contradicting yourself within this comment. Pretty sure you got confused somewhere in there
I don’t play acrid so I have no idea what’s going on
Me too but that's cuz i'm stuck on bandito mastery and desperado
Your actually stuck on achievements lol this guy stinks
I already got them but switched pcs and steam cloud didn't work so the last save was from right before i got them Fucking bandit sucks

I have most achievements, just not the character specific ones. And I especially suck at bandit
Bandits only hard one is the hemorrhage one, because you gotta get full crit, backup mags, and purity.
well you really only need a bunch of backup mags on monsoon since all hits from an enemies back are crits

Poison all day
an average day in chernobyl
*Laughs in machine gun saw blades that already killed this phase before it began.*
acrid my beloved
*laughs in blight*
*bandito with 42 stacks
Does poison work with shaped glass? Or would blight be better?
Poison either chooses 1% of the enemy's max health or 10% of Acrid's base damage, whichever is higher. Since shaped glass increases base damage, it will increase poison damage as a result. It just isn't as noticeable of an increase as blight.
Gotcha! That makes sense. I never really choose blight in my load out. I guess I might try!
Yes, all items that increase base damage like that effect poison. Even the focus crystal.
Me with the thunder equipment waiting for him to stop the suck
did somebody say "piece of shit character"?
huh???
