Poisoner

Spreads AoE poison and slows enemy attack speed with toxin stacks.

"The slow death is the surest death."

What Changes at Level 10

When a Rogue reaches level 10 and you select Poisoner, two things change permanently:

1. Stat bonuses are added to the hero's ability scores immediately and permanently.
2. Active ability is replaced with the subclass variant (Venom Cloud).

Ability: Venom Cloud

Permanent Stat Bonuses

Poisoner grants the following ability score bonuses on top of the Rogue base scores:

• +2 Agility — adds to the Rogue base agility score
• +1 Intelligence — adds to the Rogue base intelligence score

These bonuses stack with ability score points allocated from levelling. They cannot be removed without retiring the hero.

Recommended Skill Tree Themes

Chaos (Venom Transmutation for poison+burn combo), Speed (faster attacks = faster proc rate).

See the Skill Tree deep dive for the full 120-node reference and routing advice, or the Rogue build guide for a complete path recommendation for this class.

Poisoner vs. Assassin

Both subclasses unlock at level 10. Compare them to choose:

The choice is permanent — use a Scroll of Divergence consumable to re-select without retiring the hero.

Applying via Archetype

Set an Archetype with Poisoner as the guild standard for Rogue — all future recruits of that class will automatically receive this subclass at level 10 without any manual selection.
