Game Mechanics

Poison damage is based around two things:

  • The Poison effectiveness (or strength)
  • The attacker's combat medic's Combat Medicine Effectiveness modifier



To calculate Poison damage, the following formula is used:

Real tick damage =

Real Tick Damage = (poison effectiveness) * (1 + (CM effectiveness) / 100)


Poison effectiveness includes the Poison strength stat on a creature's attack, the combat medic's Poison packs or the strength value on dot weapons. Poison sources that dont use CM effectiveness modifier would use 0 for this part of the formula.
