Acrid

hybridMedium

PvE Rating

3/5 Average

A venomous creature that applies poison to enemies. Acrid uses Epidemic to spread poison across groups of enemies and can choose between ranged Neurotoxin or melee Ravenous Bite playstyles. His regenerative passive keeps him healthy between fights.

Strengths

  • +Poison deals percentage-based damage, scales infinitely
  • +Epidemic spreads poison across entire groups
  • +Passive regeneration keeps him topped off
  • +Flexible melee or ranged playstyle options

Weaknesses

  • -Poison alone is slow to kill enemies
  • -Melee playstyle is risky without items
  • -Low burst damage compared to other survivors
  • -Poison does not benefit from most damage items

Tips & Strategy

  • 1Poison is percentage-based — it scales with enemy HP, great in late game
  • 2Epidemic can spread poison to enemies you cannot see or reach
  • 3Ravenous Bite heals on hit — use it for sustain in melee range
  • 4Death Mark synergizes perfectly with Acrid applying multiple debuffs
  • 5Blight alternate passive deals stacking damage instead of percentage DoT
