Enchant Deadly Poison is the signature damage steroid of the Assassin Cross. It consumes a bottle of Deadly Poison to lace the weapon, massively raising physical damage for a limited time. Reworked on Vortex Legends with a duration that shrinks as the level rises.
Overview
Enchant Deadly Poison trades resources for raw power: each cast costs a brewed Deadly Poison bottle and a heavy chunk of SP, and the stronger you make it, the shorter it lasts. Level 5 delivers the biggest damage spike in the Assassin arsenal, but only for 100 seconds, while level 1 gives a smaller boost that lasts five minutes. Choosing the level to cast is a real decision rather than an automatic max.
Mechanics
- Damage bonus: +(175 + 25 × SkillLv)% physical damage while active.
- Deadly Poison on hit: attacks have a (2 + SkillLv)% chance to inflict Deadly Poison, a stronger version of Poison.
- Duration: 350 − 50 × SkillLv seconds; higher levels burn brighter and shorter.
- The buff cannot be removed by Dispell.

Notes
The negative duration scaling rewards planning: level 5 before a boss burn or a PvP engage, lower levels for long farming runs where uptime matters more than peak damage. While active, Locked-On doubles its bonuses, making the pairing the core of Assassin Cross burst windows.
