Lara finished a dungeon while Fired Up! She can gain two new abilities from this list:
Antivenom I: Once per dungeon can restore 2 HP to a nearby living creature that was damaged by poison on the current or previous turn.
Cloth Proficiency: +1 Def when wearing armour with no base Def bonus, or when wearing no armour.
Drider Bite I: Deal +2 poison damage when attacking unarmed.
Drink Poison I: Once per dungeon can consume carried venom to recover HP equal to its damage.
Frenzy I: Can make an attack at +1 Atk, but target is chosen randomly between those in the area.
Poison Use: Can use venom when attacking.
Spider Sense: +1 Atk and Def against spiders.
Venomous Sting II: Makes a ranged attack that deals 2-3 poison damage.
Poison Use and Drink Poison I.
We have good reasons to spend more money on Venom Glands now that we have the Venom Blades. Drink Poison is also a solid healing option.
I really wonder if we are going to be able to buy GargGlands as well. They are on the list, have price, etc – and they are ‘Venom’ so maybe even Lara can consume a charge from one to get healed once? Not much, but hey, emergency 3-6 doesn’t hurt
Poison Use and Cloth Proficiency
I’d rather get us a straight buff than the option of spending gland on healing instead of doing more damage.
Drink poison cant even be used on anyone else and is single use so its at best like, just 4 hp on Lara even if we ignore that it take an action and a gland.
I agree with the general argument, but how often do let Lara fight in robes?
That’s kinda my thought process too. I think in the future we’re gonna prefer she wear actual armor. The poison robes have worked wonders for the poison well and the poison spider dungeons, but probably wont be as useful elsewhere.
About Frenzy: “target is chosen randomly between those in the area” – is “those” everyone (including friends), or “those enemies”?!
Includes friends I believe. I think it was confirmed during the wrap up stream for her bond dungeon
Really? It says “target” w.r.t. to “attack” action, I think we can’t just attack friends/allies/pets/npcs. That would be an awful underclarification…
I don’t think strongly about any of Lara Abilities, we overused her a teeny tiny bit, but I would like to point out that Ricki has Poison Use avaible and if we are taking Gargantula Gland with us, it will go to Ricki.
Let’s take the secret hidden “Cure for Driderism” ability and Spider Sense. Woulda been useful in this dungeon.
