Keywords & Mechanics

Poison: Poisoned creatures lose HP at the start of their turn. Each turn, Poison is reduced by 1.

Synergies & Strategies

This card accelerates The Silent's damage output immensely. By triggering Poison multiple times per turn, it bypasses the usual wait time, making it devastating against bosses or high-HP elites when you already have massive stacks of Poison applied.

Downside: Increased Poison Drain

Because Poison is reduced by 1 every time it triggers, Accelerant drains your poison stacks at an accelerated rate. Un-upgraded Accelerant removes 2 Poison per turn, and the upgraded version removes 3 per turn.

This can create an anti-synergy with slow-building cards like Noxious Fumes (which applies 2 Poison per turn). Normally, Fumes builds a growing stack over time because it applies more poison than the standard 1-stack drain. However, with Accelerant in play, Fumes no longer out-paces the drain on its own.
