Throw Venom Knife is an offensive skill of the Assassin class that hurls a poisoned knife at a single enemy from a distance, dealing weapon damage and reliably inflicting Poison.
Overview
The Assassin throws a venom-tipped knife toward a target up to 9 cells away. Each cast consumes one Venom Knife from the inventory. The thrown knife carries the element of the equipped weapon, and virtually every hit leaves the target Poisoned.
Mechanics
The knife deals a percentage of the user's ATK based on the skill level, and every throw is all but guaranteed to inflict Poison on the target. The skill also grants a flat bonus to Hit Rate that does not change with level.
The attack uses the weapon's element rather than a fixed one, so the effective element depends on whatever weapon is equipped. When two weapons are equipped, only the right-hand weapon's ATK modifier cards contribute to the damage.
Damage formula: 75 + 50 × SkillLv (% of ATK)
Poison chance: 100% (guaranteed)
The skill always adds +20% Hit Rate regardless of the level learned.
Leveling
| Level | Damage% | SP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 125 | 10 |
| 2 | 175 | 11 |
| 3 | 225 | 12 |
| 4 | 275 | 13 |
| 5 | 325 | 14 |
Notes
The guaranteed Poison and the flat +20% Hit Rate make this a reliable opener against evasive enemies, feeding Venom Exploit's bonus damage against Poisoned targets on the follow-up. It no longer deals bonus damage against targets that are already Poisoned.
