The 99 Nights in the Forest Poison Master is a new, toxin-focused class from the Frog Invasion update. Instead of brute-force brawling, it leans on damage-over-time (DoT) and crowd control to wear enemies down safely. This guide covers how to unlock it, what each upgrade tier adds, and the best gear pairings so you can turn poison into a reliable win condition.
How to Unlock Poison Master (Location & Cost)
You can unlock Poison Master right from the hub. Head to the Class Shop in the main lobby, look for the icon marked NEW with a green exclamation point, and purchase the class for 200 Gems. Once bought, it’s available permanently on your class list.
On unlock, you immediately receive two essentials for the playstyle:
Blowpipe — a ranged weapon that applies poison.
Poison Armour — defensive gear with poison resistance so you can stay active while your DoT ticks.
This baseline kit lets you start playing the class as intended—tagging enemies from safety, repositioning, and letting stacks do the heavy lifting.
Poison Master Skills & Upgrade Path
Poison Master progresses through three upgrade tiers, each one deepening the poison theme and scaling better against groups:
Level 1 – Stronger Base Poison: Increases your core poison strength so tags matter even on healthier targets. It’s your consistency upgrade—more value from every hit.
Level 2 – Spreading Toxin (25% on Death): When poisoned enemies die, there’s a 25% chance their poison spreads. This is the class’s signature crowd-control moment: one good tag can ripple through clustered packs.
Level 3 – Bonus Damage vs. Poisoned: Directly amplifies your output against enemies already infected. It rewards disciplined play—apply poison early, then press the advantage when foes are softened.
Together, these tiers turn Poison Master into a force in group fights, raids, or any area with dense enemy counts. You control the tempo, avoid risky trades, and let attrition win.
Best Gear for Poison Master (Frog Invasion Synergy)
Frog Invasion drops several items that sync perfectly with the class’s kit:
Poisonous Frog Armour: Reinforces survivability against venomous threats while you kite and re-tag enemies. It pairs naturally with Poison Armour’s theme of staying power in toxic zones.
Poisoned Spears: Great for midrange engagements—apply DoT, back out, re-engage when spreads and ticks open a window. The reach suits your “poke, peel, and punish” rhythm.
Poison Darts: Quick, precise tags from farther away to start the chain. Use darts to prime packs before they collapse on you, then finish with Blowpipe pressure.
These items don’t change the plan—they amplify it. With stronger resistances and more ways to inflict poison safely, you’ll trigger more Level 2 spreads and cash in on Level 3’s bonus damage.
How to Play Poison Master (Practical Loop)
Think of each fight as a controlled burn:
Tag first, commit later. Open with Blowpipe or Poison Darts to start DoT early.
Create space. Keep distance so poison ticks without you trading health.
Chain the spread. Focus on already-weak targets to trigger the 25% on-death spread near clustered foes.
Capitalize with upgrades. Once a pack is thoroughly infected, press in for quick finishes and let Level 3’s bonus damage do work.
Stay patient. The class is strongest over time—avoid panic dives that cut your uptime.
This methodical approach beats reckless pushes and pays off most when enemies stack up.
Why Choose Poison Master?
Elite crowd control: Spreading poison converts clusters into liabilities for the enemy.
Gear synergy: Armour, Spears, and Darts from Frog Invasion sharpen both safety and uptime.
Long-term scaling: The more targets you infect, the more your Level 3 payoff snowballs.
Great value at 200 Gems: A low unlock price for a class that opens a whole new strategic lane.
Final Thoughts
Poison Master trades flash for inevitability: apply poison, stay alive, and let the system work. With a simple unlock path (Class Shop → 200 Gems), a ready-to-go kit (Blowpipe + Poison Armour), upgrades that spread and amplify your damage, and clean synergy with Frog Invasion gear, it’s a standout pick for players who prefer control, safety, and calculated pressure over brute-force brawls.
