Spells Bio, Poison

Monster Abilities Acid Rain, Virite

Confusingly, Poison is both an Element and a status in this game. That said, aside from the Monster Ability Acid Rain, all Poison-Elemental Abilities inflict Poison as well, so the difference is mostly elementary.

Nonetheless, the damage dealt by Poison-Elemental Abilities is significant even aside from the Status effect. Most of the Monsters that have a weakness to Poison are human, while the ones that are immune tend to be undead.

Unfortunately, a Poison weakness becomes less and less relevant as the game progresses because of the availability of tier-3 Elemental (and better) Spells. They deal more damage to neutral targets than your best Poison Spell (Bio) does against a Poison weakness.

Compare Poison to other Elements
