Diamond| Star | Branch | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| T0 | Poison Conversion | ATK speed → 25% poison ATK; Skill DMG → 35% poison ATK |
| T1 | Escape Master | 35% chance on hit: blink + 3 poison arrows + 30% ATK speed + 15% dodge (30s) |
| T2 | Toxicity Upgrade | All poison effects stack simultaneously with no limit (GAME-CHANGING) |
| T3 | Multi-Shot Mastery | 25% chance triple-shot; each hit +15% poison amp for 15s (max 10 stacks = +150%) |
Unlimited Poison Stacking. Strongest single-target DPS in the game. Tier 2 unlimited poison stacking combined with Tier 3 triple-shot produces exponentially scaling DoTs.
Skill: Purple Poison Arrow
Every 8th arrow fires a Purple Poison Arrow that applies:
- -5% poison resist to the target
- 145% poison/second (15x poison scaling) for 12 seconds
This is your bread and butter. The resist shred stacks with every Purple Arrow, and the DoT itself is amplified by all poison sources.
Recommended Card
Best: 
Forest Queen — ★4
| Star | Passive |
|---|---|
| ★1 | +500 Poison DMG, +50% Poison Amplification |
| ★2 | +50% Poison Amp |
| ★3 | +50% Poison Amp |
| ★4 | +70% Poison Amp, Rose burst on auto-attack |
Rose Mechanic: Auto-attacks plant a rose parasite. After 3 seconds, the rose bursts dealing 1500% poison damage to nearby enemies AND instantly resolves 50% of remaining poison tick damage. Enemies hit receive a +7% damage taken debuff. 10s cooldown. Your poison stat provides 1500% scaling to the burst.
At max stars, Forest Queen provides up to +220% poison amplification — this multiplier applies to every single simultaneous stack from Tier 2.
Budget Alternative: 
Ladybug — ★3
Auto-attacks apply poison DoT (50% poison/sec, 5s). A stepping stone until you pull Forest Queen.

Why 6 Jadeite instead of 5+1 Ruby? Standard Poison Archer runs 1 Ruby to help trigger Forest Queen Rose via auto-attack damage. Morpheus already fires enough arrows (triple-shot + blink arrows) that Rose uptime is guaranteed without the Ruby. Full Jadeite maximizes every simultaneous stack.
Equipment Affixes to Target
Weapon
| Priority | Affix | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Venomous/Plague (Poison DMG) | Direct poison scaling — multiplied by every stack |
| 2 | ATK% | Multiplies base ATK for auto-attacks |
| 3 | DMG% | General damage increase |
Armor
| Priority | Affix | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | HP flat | Raw survivability |
| 2 | DEF% | Damage mitigation |
| 3 | DR% | Flat damage reduction |
SP Morpheus vs Standard Poison Archer
| Feature | Standard Poison Archer | SP Morpheus |
|---|---|---|
| Poison stacking | 1 stack per source (capped) | Unlimited simultaneous stacks (Tier 2) |
| Arrow volume | Normal fire rate | Triple-shot 25% chance + blink arrows (Tier 1/3) |
| Poison amp | Card-dependent | +150% from Tier 3 stacks + card amp |
| Survivability | Dodge-reliant | Blink + dodge + ATK speed steroid |
| Scaling ceiling | Linear | Exponential (more arrows × unlimited stacks × amp) |
SP Morpheus is the definitive upgrade. Tier 2 poison stacking combined with Tier 3 triple-shot produces exponentially more simultaneous DoTs than standard Poison Archer can ever achieve.
