In the game Galesprinter Knight, the knight class is praised by many players as a jack-of-all-trades due to its excellent adaptability and diverse development paths. Currently, a large number of players are fond of the knight, largely because of the power and practicality of the Poison Knight build. Therefore, in this Galesprinter Knight guide, I will focus on introducing some playstyles for the Poison Knight. If you have chosen the knight class, don't miss this introduction.
Before delving into how to quickly shape an efficient Poison Knight, it's necessary to thoroughly analyze its core build, which includes the talent tree and skill combinations of the Poison Knight. The so-called Poison Knight is a branch of the knight that uses toxic skills as its primary combat method. The essence of this tactic lies in continuously applying poison effects and triggering high-damage poison bursts. This build cleverly utilizes the synergistic benefits of sacred relics to put the target into a deep poisoned state, thereby achieving stable and significant damage output.
Especially when paired with the Toad Set, the Poison Knight not only forms quickly but also has a low entry barrier. Although it may seem unremarkable at first glance, once combined with the unique weapon Auroch, it can achieve full-screen toxin coverage, demonstrating impressive crowd control. Once formed, as long as you maintain an appropriate distance from the enemy, each jump can bring a substantial amount of poison damage, both visually and practically. To avoid confusing new players, all techniques will not be revealed at once, but rather introduced step by step.
It should be noted that this poison-based build is not exclusive to knights; theoretically, any class can try it. However, due to the knight's naturally high health, strong defense, and unique skill bonuses from the Auroch weapon, it becomes the ideal choice for carrying this build. After all, in the face of dense enemies, the knight's survivability better ensures the stability of continuous output. Of course, different players have developed their own variations of the Poison Knight. In the actual battle phase, you need to adjust the skill settings in the unlock interface, keeping only the Hate Spike and disabling all other skills temporarily.
The key here is to understand that mentioning only carrying a certain skill into the game means that all other skills except the specified one are disabled. Initially, enter the battlefield with only the Hate Spike, pushing forward until you encounter the first black market opportunity before the first boss level. The goal is to complete the special modification of the Hate Spike during this stage. If the modification is successful, you can end the current run to save time, as the successful modification is a prerequisite for unlocking the key skill Throwing Dart. Conversely, if the special modification is not achieved, you need to restart the game and try again. Usually, success can be achieved within a few attempts.
After obtaining the Throwing Dart, re-enter the game and prioritize using this skill to knock down several enemies, observing the green poison indicators appearing above their heads. Once this goal is achieved, you can also choose to end the game, as the conditions for unlocking the next important skill, Toxic Spread, have been met. Then, continue your journey with only the Throwing Dart and Toxic Spread skills until your character's life is depleted. During this process, if there are no unexpected events, you should be able to accumulate enough 10,000 points of poison damage to unlock the ultimate skill, Toxic Cloud, and also have the opportunity to unlock the auxiliary Neurotoxin skill.
It is worth noting that Toxic Spread, as a skill triggered after an attack, is relatively inefficient in accumulating poison damage in groups of monsters. Therefore, it is not recommended to deliberately wait for the skill cooldown to stack damage, as this would be inefficient. The correct approach is to fully utilize the characteristics of the Auroch weapon to continuously output and quickly stack poison damage, especially when fighting bosses. Additionally, there is a strategy to speed up the formation, which is to unlock and equip the Sacred Relics, Foul Soulstone and Mysterious Egg, in advance.
The combination of these two sacred relics triggers a special Rotten Egg synergy effect, causing all attacks to carry poison damage. However, considering the time and effort required to unlock and obtain these two sacred relics, it is often more efficient to accumulate poison damage directly through combat. Therefore, this is not recommended as the first choice. Next, the focus is on unlocking the advanced skill, Envenom. The unlocking condition is quite strict: it requires using a successfully modified four-star Toxic Cloud and dealing at least 500 points of poison damage. This damage can be the total damage taken by a single target or the sum of damage taken by multiple targets. The important thing is that it is not limited to the first strike on the enemy; as long as the total poison damage from a single burst meets the requirement.
For this challenging operation, here is a relatively simple method: carry the Overload, Toxic Cloud skills, and the Lizard Skewer, Flow Fragment, and Moldy Mushroom sacred relics into the game. After successfully modifying the Toxic Cloud, temporarily remove the skill and find an environment conducive to gathering monsters, such as using the multi-level structure on the map or the narrow passages in specific areas, allowing the monsters to naturally gather together. Since an initially modified Toxic Cloud can cause about 25 points of damage, it is necessary to attract more than 20 monsters to gather together.
Then, re-equip the Toxic Cloud and Overload, and head straight for the Greed boss on levels 1-3. The reason for choosing such a distant target is that the earlier bosses either move too fast to gather enough monsters or have too little health to withstand multiple attacks before the poison damage accumulates. By the time you reach levels 1-3, with the increase in skill levels and the collection of sacred relics, you should be able to meet the 500+ poison damage requirement in a single battle. Although this process may seem complicated, it is actually the most direct and effective way, and the entire process does not take long, usually just a few minutes.
In the Galesprinter Knight guide, have you found the characteristics of your class? If you want to go for the knight class and are also interested in playing as a Poison Knight, today's introduction can help you. Currently, the strongest build for the knight class is indeed the Poison Knight.
