“A lethal specialist in toxins and decay, the Poison Master weakens enemies over time, spreads corruption across groups, and empowers the entire team by amplifying damage against afflicted targets. Through patient, strategic combat, this class turns every poisoned enemy into an opportunity for massive area control.”
The Poison Master is a Damage-over-Time / Debuff class in 99 Nights in the Forest, focused on applying powerful poison effects, spreading contamination between enemies, and weakening targets for devastating follow-up attacks. Starting with a Blowpipe and Poison Armour, this class excels at attrition-based combat and team support.
As it levels up, the Poison Master’s poison becomes stronger, gains a chance to spread on enemy death, and eventually increases all incoming damage taken by poisoned enemies — making it extremely valuable in boss fights and group encounters.
While not the strongest in burst damage, its scaling poison and team utility make it a unique and tactical class.

Perks and Leveling Progression

Starter & Level 1 Perks (Initial Unlock)
Starter Tools
- Blowpipe (unlimited ammo, long reload, instant poison)
- Poison Armour
Level 1 Perk — Enhanced Poison Damage
Your poison effects become significantly stronger, increasing:
- Total poison damage
- Overall DPS contribution
- Value of each successful hit
This perk massively boosts the class’s early power.
Level 2 Requirements
| Requirement | Needed |
|---|---|
| Kill poisoned enemies | 100 |
Level 2 Perks — Poison Spread on Death
Upon reaching Level 2, poisoned enemies gain:
- 25% chance to spread their full poison duration to nearby enemies when they die
- Spreads the full remaining duration, not a shortened effect
This provides limited but valuable crowd control potential.
Level 3 Requirements (Max Level)
| Requirement | Needed |
|---|---|
| Kill poisoned enemies | 250 |
Level 3 Perks — Increased Damage Taken by Poisoned Enemies
At max level, all poisoned enemies:
- Take increased damage from ALL sources
- Become vulnerable to teammates’ attacks
- Are significantly easier to kill during boss fights
This transforms the Poison Master into a team-wide damage amplifier.
Strategic Analysis & Gameplay
The Poison Master is optimized for:
- Damage-over-time combat
- Enemy debuffing
- Team synergy
- Sustained fights
- Poison spread crowd control
The Blowpipe’s unlimited ammo and passive reload allow players to weave poison shots between melee or ranged weapon attacks.
The class gains more value in longer fights, boss encounters, and multi-enemy situations.
Tips & Tricks
- Poison overwrites itself instead of stacking — wait for poison to expire before reapplying for maximum value.
- Blowpipe reloads even when not equipped — swap weapons mid-fight to maximize uptime.
- Level 3’s “increased damage taken” debuff is extremely powerful in team play.
- Poison spread on death has only 25% chance; treat it as a bonus, not something reliable.
- Poison Spear kills also count if obtained early from the Frog Invasion.
- Bunny kills do not count toward requirements.
- Great for supporting teammates fighting bosses due to the universal damage amp.
- Works well for rescuing Missing Children due to reliable long-range DPS.
