Venomancer Glyphs

These are the Venomancer skills and Glyphs available for the class after obtaining the Chaotic Soul and Celestial Saint Cultivation. For a complete list of Venomancer skills see Venomancer Skill List.

Sanguine Glyphs
Sanguine Glyphs deal with Chi. Skills with these Glyphs will give extra Chi or restore Chi after use. Blazing Barrier is an exception as it reflects negative status effects based on Soulforce. Fossilized Curse and Arcane Antinomy are also exceptions as they receive a damage increase from these Glyphs.

Crush Vigor instantly removes the player target's Chi. If the player target has less Chi than what is removed, then they take damage for every 1 point of Chi they lack, equal to 1% of their maximum Health or the Venomancer's maximum Health, whichever is lower. The damage is a Damage-over-Time (DoT) type that only ticks once. Venomancers can increase the damage of Crush Vigor by lowering the target's HP with Soul Degeneration or by increasing their own HP with Tree of Protection (Genie skill). As with every chi draining skill, Crush Vigor can bypass Faith (Genie skill), but Faith will still block the damage.

Ethereal Glyphs
Ethereal Glyphs deal with channeling time reduction. Skills with these Glyphs will have their channeling Time reduced, but they will still have a normal casting time. Some skills also gain additional benefits. Crush Vigor with an Ethereal Glyph curses the target to lose 20 Chi per hit instead of 15. Amplify Damage and Soul Degeneration with an Ethereal Glyph give 30 Chi instead of 10. Blazing Barrier with an Ethereal Glyph will cost no Chi. Fossilized Curse and Arcane Antinomy will significantly reduce the enemy player's attack.

Verdant Glyphs
Verdant Glyphs deal with special skill effects. Fox Form skills with these Glyphs can be used in a combo with Argent Glyphs on human form skills. The effects of Verdant Glyphs on Fox Form skills are affected by different elements of DoTs but are not affected by multiple stacks of a single element. For maximum effect or duration, a Venomancer has to use all four human form skills with Argent Glyphs (Venomous Scarab, Redstone Venomworm, Noxious Gas and Lucky Scarab). If the Venomancer uses only one human form skill with an Argent Glyph, then Fox Form skills with Verdant Glyphs will have the minimum effect or duration.

Venomous Scarab with a Verdant Glyph will deal more damage than with a Golden Glyph, as long as a pet is summoned. Redstone Venomworm with a Verdant Glyph will reduce a player target's physical defense to zero.

Soul Degeneration using Verdant Glyph in combination with the DoT attacks curses the target and prevents healing from charms, potions or skills. The anti-heal curse cannot be purified, does not overwrite other curses and cannot be overwritten by other curses. The DoT stacks do not disappear upon using it. However, skills that heal a percentage of HP work even with the anti-heal debuff on, such as Metabolic Boost (Venomancer skill) or Blessing of Immortality (Cleric skill).

Golden Glyphs
Golden Glyphs deal with damage. Human form skills with these Glyphs will deal additional weapon damage. Fox Form skills with these Glyphs will deal a percentage of base physical and magical damage. Blazing Barrier with a Golden Glyph reduces damage significantly.

Argent Glyphs
Argent Glyphs deal with special combos. Human form skills, except Parasitic Nova, become Damage-over-Time (DoT) skills.


 * Argent Glyph DoTs get unique icons and cannot be overwritten by regular DoT effects.
 * Argent Glyph DoTs work like any other DoTs: they ignore damage reduction buffs and terrain penalties.
 * Argent Glyph DoTs can be stacked up to 10. The damage gets progressively stronger if the Venomancer keeps using them.
 * Argent Glyph DoTs can be purified. They can also be blocked with the Genie skill Faith.
 * Argent Glyph human form skills deal a percentage of direct damage along with the DoT. The direct damage can be a Critical Hit. It removes the Sleep effect and it can tick Defense Charms.
 * Seekers cannot pass back these DoTs using their Quid Pro Quo skill.

Parasitic Nova and Fox Form skills with Argent Glyphs can detonate the DoTs and deal the remaining damage. Blazing Barrier with an Argent Glyph removes the damage reduction buff, but the Venomancer becomes immune to magic damage instead.
