Understand Venom Teeth
Useful when…
- Adding Toxin damage and Status Chance to compatible companion claws.
Effect
Venom Teeth adds +15% Toxin and +15% Status Chance at rank 0, +45% of each at rank 2, and +60% of each at rank 3. It is a dual-stat bonus for claws, not an instruction to convert all claw elements to Toxin.
Fit and investment
The standard Claws mod has Madurai polarity, base drain 4, and maximum rank 3. Rank 2 to 3 costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits for the listed increase from 45% to 60% to both stats. Rank it according to the value of that incremental increase in your claw setup.
Compare conversion effects carefully
Sepsis Claws, Burning Claws, and Chilling Claws each list a much larger matching elemental and status bonus, and each converts all elemental damage from the claws to its named element. That conversion is a distinct build constraint; Venom Teeth's supplied description does not claim such conversion.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The maximum listed bonuses are lower than the conversion mods' listed bonuses.
- The mod applies to companion claws, not ordinary melee weapons.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Installing it on equipment other than compatible claws.
- Assuming it converts all existing elemental damage to Toxin.
