Where you fight it 1

Flat defense
Subtracted from each hit before negation; it matters most for weak hits. Area scaling raises it along with HP.

Buildup needed for the first proc, and how much more each following proc needs (it grows after every proc, up to the fifth).
| Status | 1st proc | 2nd | 3rd | 4th |

| Poison | 351 | 449 | 739 | 1,196 |
