I got the idea to place this idea for a poison alchemer line.
Just think of all other status alchemers, but then poison.
2*: Venomtech Alchemer
3*: Venomtech Alchemer MK II
4*: Venom Driver
5*: Anthrax Driver
Tell me what you think.
Poison Alchemer?

I wouldn't use it because poison sucks on monsters, most of the time.

Alchemers (Like their sword counterparts, Brandishes) are more often than not used for offence, hence the reason they have offensive statuses (since they do something without needing further interaction after being applied). Poison is a passive status (Because if your not using the increased damage, and there are no healers around, it wont do anything). I would not be against a elemental/poison gun, but Alchemers are meant for offence.

Considering ricochets, damage, overall speed and all, it would be too good against poor Biohazard (wich isnt that great already)

Oh no
Hey look! All lines don't have a poison type weapon! Let's add some right now!
We can added a poison alchemer, poison brandish and poisonous bomb! Then we can make all the faith it the most useful bomb in Spiral knights! It's beast!
Oh no! Please don't make this happen ever!

The papaya adds one thing
@Bluebrawlerneo Well, quite a few weapons out there will finish monsters in just a matter of blows/shot/explosions. The deduction of defense and attack is quite pathetic. Lets say you were gonna use this poison alchemer in FSC. I'm pretty sure shots from a Polaris or Blitz would be much more effective, a combo of the alchemer and the blitz/polaris is just a waste of time. I think the alchemer would really be only useful for the Jelly King and Frigid Ice Queen..................As for healing...............well I don't see too many healers of any kind in fsc........................poison is also quite pathetic in lockdown (Well, I've never seen anyone put poison to good use anyways)..............................
More about healing...........................For gremlins, its much more effective to just pick the healers off with the Sentenza.................for Silkwings a simple blow from the flourish will do.............................for love puppies, well I don't see why you would want to kill them...................
More about the shadow lair:The defense decrease would be quite useless in boss levels because of the constantly expanding swarm seed....................and poison would really only be useful for the Frigid Ice Queen as I said earlier. Cause Darkfire and Rabid are immune to poison.
Snort.
