Tips and Tricks
- Touch of Venom has a hidden effect that applies a DoT, damage over time, to the enemy you melee while invisible. The DoT lasts 9 seconds. You can also apply the DoT with both Arc Blade (also works with vanish) and Golden Gun. Golden Gun increases the DoT duration to 18 seconds and the DoT is applied to enemies affected by Combustion.
- Invisibility is broken by shooting, meleeing or blinking.
- Melee someone in The Crucible from behind when you're invisible is 1 shot kill.
