'''Infectious Strike''' is a [[Special Moves|special move]] that took the place of [[poisoning]] all types of weapons on August 10, 2007 via [[Publish 46]]. Only weapons that possess the Infectious Strike move can be poisoned. Unlike most special moves, [[Tactics]] is not required to use Infectious Strike since it already requires Poisoning [[Skills|skill]] to be effective. This special move can be activated by setting a key macro for the appropriate primary or secondary weapon ability or double-clicking the icon in 2D. The icon will highlight red when activated.

The power of the poison depends on the type of poison applied to the weapon in question and a character’s Poisoning skill, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Poisoning of 00.0 - 19.9 yields Level 1 (lesser), with a chance for Level 2 (regular);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Poisoning of 20.0 - 39.9 yields Level 2, with a chance for Level 3 (greater);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Poisoning of 40.0 - 59.9 yields Level 3, with a chance for Level 4 (deadly); and<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Poisoning of 60.0 - 100 yields Level 4, with a chance for Level 5 (lethal).<br>

* '''Mana Cost:''' 20
==Notes==
* Poisoning a weapon no longer causes it to corrode.
* Targets are no longer poisoned based on chance; a successful hit is all that is required.
* No skill in Poisoning is required, but a Level 1 poison is the best that can be achieved.
* The greater the Poisoning skill of the wielder, the better chance he or she has of inflicting a higher level of poison on a target. The formula is one-for-one (i.e., attackers have a (Poisoning Skill)% chance to increase the level of poison delivered by 1.)
* The much coveted Lethal Poisoning is possible with Infectious Strike.
* Poison can be applied only to those weapons that have Infectious Strike as a special move, see below. 
==Primary Weapons==
* [[Assassin Spike]]
* [[Butcher Knife]]

* [[Cleaver]]
