POISON
Poison is absolutely crippling in Lockdown where many players underestimate its effect and walk right into it. This greatly increases haze bomber survivability as any hits you do take aren't robbing you of half your health.
Additionally, anyone with a Venom Veiler on Mines can very easily dominate the center map perpetually by providing an area where teammates can heal, but enemies cannot.
A Venom Veiler and Stagger Storm combo make every Tier 3 monster as pathetic as Tier 2.
Poison is a lifesaver when fighting in situations where your shield would normally break very quickly. Against lumbers, for example.
A Venom Veiler demolishes enemies whenever there are two or more menders, and causes Gremlins to run into a corner and take a cyanide pill to commit suicide when they have low health. Other poison weapons are great for fighting monsters whenever a Mender is present, but is unable to be dealt with.
Obsidian Crusher allows further damage to its victims by keeping their defenses down.
The damage increase from the poison allows the Obsidian Carbine to do greater damage to gremlins than the Sentenza, despite the latter having a damage bonus to Gremlins.
In Lunar Knights, poison makes your vision really really pixelated whenever you move. (it's already a sprite-based game, so it's very difficult to see enemies)
When you're standing still, your vision gradually unblurs.
What do we have here, a noob complaining ?
No, seriously, check the wiki if you are not sure about something or test it out even more, poison is one of the most useful statueses in the game.
Poison neutralizes healers. Did you ever play a level where there be respawning Silkwings? Tell me then that Poison is a piece of junk. It dramatically increases your damage.
The last thing we need is a clone of another status.

Exactly. Why people don't want sleep back in the game, since it's just a freeze clone.
Poison is only useless if you don't understand how to use it. That's all I have to say.
Poison reduces the target's defence by up to 25% and damage by up to 50%. It also makes healed enemies take damage.
If you would like to damage enemies over time, try out fire or shock.
