Best characters for Poisonous Tonic
Characters that pick up Poisonous Tonic in our curated build pool — with notes on why the combo works where we have them.
Apprentice
1 build
Poisonous Tonic is a premium offensive pickup: Attack Speed, Crit Chance and Range all amplify Apprentice’s ranged and elemental weapon setups. The minor HP Regeneration loss is manageable if you have other sustain.
One Armed
1 build
Attack Speed, Crit Chance and Range are all premium stats for both Shuriken and ranged builds, while the small HP regen penalty is manageable with good positioning and defenses.
Hunter
2 builds
Poisonous Tonic stacks three premium stats for Hunter: Attack Speed, Crit Chance, and Range. It supercharges Crossbow DPS and crit consistency at the cost of some HP regen, which Hunter can manage by playing at long range.
