Laced Needle

An uncommon Thief set weapon with 10-14 durability that deals no direct damage but inflicts Poison 1 per hit — and can be used 3 times per turn. Three stacks of Poison per turn adds up fast; the Needle excels at accumulating Poison on single targets before stepping back. Unlocked by completing The Jurassic as the Thief class. Part of the Thief set.

Using the Laced Needle 3 times in a single turn applies Poison 3 total, which deals 3 damage per tick for as long as the Poison persists. Poison stacks multiply tick damage rather than extending duration, so rapid stacking is more valuable than spreading hits across turns. With 10-14 durability, you get multiple rounds of triple-stacking before the weapon is exhausted.

Best in Poison-focused Thief builds where consistent DoT buildup is the primary damage strategy. Works especially well against high-HP enemies where the accumulated Poison ticks deal more total damage than burst alternatives. Pair with mutations or passives that increase Poison tick damage or extend duration for compounding returns over a long fight.
