Rusty Razor

The Rusty Razor deals 0 direct damage but applies both Poison 1 and Bleed 1 on every hit, with 6-9 uses. It's a pure status applicator — each swing starts two damage-over-time clocks simultaneously. The variable durability means you can't count on an exact use count, so treat 6 as your guaranteed minimum and anything beyond as a bonus.

For builds stacking damage-over-time, this is one of the most efficient tools available: two status effects per swing in a single weapon slot, with no hit damage that might complicate kill-credit for synergies like Fork or Sharp Straw. Against targets you plan to fight for multiple turns, compounding Poison and Bleed ticks add up significantly.

Pair it with Sharp Straw or Fork so a finishing blow still generates healing or economy while the Razor handles the softening work. Avoids interfering with kill-credit abilities since it deals no direct damage. Less useful in short fights where there's not enough time for DOT ticks to accumulate; best in rooms with multiple medium-HP enemies.
