Rotten Meat

A rare consumable from the Rotten and Meat item sets. When used, you gain Poison 1 (a self-inflicted cost) and your basic attack transforms into Puke Shot — a 4-tile Dexterity-based lobbed attack that hits the targeted tile plus all adjacent ones. Successful Puke Shots also apply Poison 1 to enemies hit. The AoE spread makes it surprisingly effective against grouped targets, and DEX-heavy builds get more out of the damage scaling. One use per battle, and the self-poison is a real cost — plan accordingly.

Puke Shot replaces your basic attack for the rest of combat — not just one use, but a transformed permanent basic attack for that fight. The 4-tile range with AoE coverage is significantly better than a standard melee basic attack, especially against clustered enemies. DEX scaling means Thief or high-DEX builds get substantial damage per shot. The self-Poison 1 is a minor HP drain each turn that compounds over long fights.

Best used in fights with multiple grouped enemies where the AoE hit pattern applies Poison to several targets at once. DEX builds get disproportionate value from the damage scaling, and Poison-focused builds can use this as an efficient Poison applicator. The self-Poison cost is manageable on builds with Health Regen, but avoid activating it when you're already taking DoT damage from other sources.
