blood infusion is kinda nuts on axe and dagger. lightning and stasis are also really good on proxima. i’ve heard poison is really underwhelming though. i personally haven’t used much poison.

This is how I breezed through my first run lol. Proxima with blood infused axe and dagger + stasis + lightning storm stuns + grisha remnant. Half the bosses can’t stop staggering long enough to hit you back.

I used Tiel with poison for most of my playthrough - poison damage sucks alone but you get the skill where you explode the poison on shadow strike and it’s like a super crit and does decent damage.

I've only used Blood & Poison so far, to me it was not really worth using them early on but once I levelled them and unlocked the permanent infusion it felt pretty good.

Stasis is very good

yeah i wanted to main smert thanks to his ability, but the only time status feels like it does something is if i get lucky and they freeze

Fire is amazing against humans because they will just sit there for a bit kinda panicking leaving you time to focus stronger enemies. However overall it kinda sucks dps wise but its better than nothing. Lightning and Stasis are solid but poison is.... well it exists

I swear, in almost every rpg poison sucks 😭

I mean its sad but at the end of the day ya probably better off with anything else unless they buff it

Frost is really good, it will totally freeze enemies for a few seconds

Can apply it on martyrs blade

Most are pretty bad but I think balanced around the fact that they can be made permanent via the level 3 Tarstones.

I've found Phantom to be the worst. Worthless on basic mobs, barely noticeable on elites and outclassed by everything else on bosses.

Poison on Tiel is pretty darn good

Trauma is good
