PSA: Flaming Espinas weapons can also deal poison

[Juliane_L]

If you look at the weapon description, it indicates that the weapons can cause poison aswell. I heard for exemple that the HH should have about 40 poison according to testing. As this poison isn't written in the stats I am not sure if status trigger works on it.

Nice way to make Flaming Espinas weapons more interesting.
And nice way to make a Dual Element Dual Blade that isn't complete garbage.

If it does work like normal poison then a Status Trigger, Foray and Buildup Boost with a Flaming espinas weapon could be pretty good.

[FafnirChaos]

I think status trigger works with status build up, by the descripton it says "chance" so it could be a flat percentage, I'll test it out later.

if so I think I have my new fire elemental lance. That's a sweet deal.

Wait whaaaa, I was looking at their stats and was disappointed that it wasn't dual like the monster itself.

Where's my Flaming Espinas buddy gear?

is that the hidden status for the poison?

[SmallGespenst]

y'know this is really the kind of thing that should be mentioned in the information window, it's kinda bonkers that it's just a thing that the game hides.

its definitely a mistake. if you look at the regular espinas duelblades they do tell you that it does both

Maybe the UI code only has compatibility for Dual Blades since traditionally they're the only double-status weapon.

It does work, a friend tested it and could spam poison.

But yeah, apparently, ALL weapons can deal poison this way. Friend using lance was able to poison with Flaming.

Those are definitely some interesting numbers aside a weapon that does Fire damage.

This seems to shed some more light on the "hidden" poison

Seems like the Chameleos GS still tops it as a poison weapon. Though having fifteen affinity and a level three rampage slot aint bad. Math was never my strong suit.

This makes me sad that the regular Espinas GS doesn't have a hidden paralysis effect. The only paralysis GS in the game is hot garbage.
