What the item does
Passive: Witch Blade
The next attack poisons the target for 4 seconds, slowing it by 25% and dealing damage each second equal to the owner's intelligence multiplied by 0.75. This attack cannot miss.
Passive: Magic Corruption
Your attacks reduce the enemy's Magic resistance by 20% for 4 seconds.
How I decide
«Parasma should change a useful attack, not just the inventory's size.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The basic Witch Blade is delivering value, and I need to invest further in this path.
- 02 My decision
- I upgrade after assessing protection and the new effect's specific contribution to my focus.
- 03 What I avoid
- Pay extra for damage without fixing a situation where disables prevent every first attack.
When I would buy it
After the main item and protection, to support reliably landing attacks.
