Poison Guts is an ability available to the Dead. It can be researched in the Graveyard.
Description[]
While toggled on, Poison Guts causes each of the Dead's attacks to cost mana and Poison enemies hit. The poison deals 6 damage every 2 seconds.
Toggling Poison Guts off disables its effects, causing Dead attacks to no longer cost mana or inflict poison.
Strategy[]
Poison Guts forms the bulk of the Dead's damage output. The poison inflicted usually forces the opponent to retreat back to the Castle unless they have Merics, Water, or Passive Cure on the battlefield, as they will surely die, even if they win the battle. In the early game you can 'snipe' archers by targeting them at the edges of the furthest point on the map (where units appear smallest) and land a poison debuff on an enemy archer, forcing it to retreat or just die.
Poison Guts can be toggled off on some of your Deads to reduce mana consumption.
Notes[]
- This ability was changed into a passive ability on the Toxic Dead, the Stick War II Dead's equivalent in later games.
