Poisonous Sting

Effect and compatibility

Poisonous Sting is an Uncommon Archmelee mod with Naramon polarity, standard slot type, and base drain 4. It adds Toxin damage: +20% at rank 0, +80% at rank 3, and +120% at rank 5. No Status Chance increase is listed. Consider it when Toxin fits the damage setup you want for an Archmelee weapon.

Ranks and investment

The mod can reach rank 5. The listed rank-up steps cost 20 Endo and 966 Credits from rank 0 to 1, 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits from rank 2 to 3, and 320 Endo and 15,456 Credits from rank 4 to 5. Raise it when the larger listed Toxin bonus suits your setup and the upgrade cost makes sense for your resources.

Related Archmelee choices

Infectious Injection lists +60% Toxin and +60% Status Chance, combining Toxin with a separate status bonus. Astral Slash lists +90% Slash, a different damage type. Astral Autopsy serves a scanning purpose: fatal strikes perform a Codex Scan if a Codex Scanner is equipped and has an available charge. These candidates have different stated effects, so consider them according to the effect you want.

Listed sources

The supplied list includes Phobos/Kepler Rush, Rotation A, at 16.67%, and Saturn/Pandora Pursuit at 4.74%, as well as drops from Exo, Kosma, and Gyre enemies. These are listed chances from the supplied source data and do not establish current availability.

Limitations and tradeoffs

• Its listed effect is Toxin damage; it does not include the Status Chance bonus listed for Infectious Injection.
• The rank 4 Toxin value is not supplied, so the exact increase from rank 4 to 5 cannot be stated.
