When to buy Toxic Bullets#
- You’re a gun carry and the enemy heals or lifesteals.
- Against high-health brawlers — the bleed scales with their max health.
When to skip it#
- You rarely shoot — melee hits don’t build the bleed.
- The fight is at long range; buildup drops with weapon falloff.
What it doesn’t do#
- Structures and the Midboss are immune to the bleed; troopers and neutrals take half.
- Spirit resist reduces the bleed damage.
Items that pair with it#
Recent changes#
- Healing reduction 35% → 40%.
