Burn damages the target twice per second and decays as it ticks. Poison damages once per second, does not decay and goes straight through Shield. Shield halves Burn damage while you have any. Regen heals you every second, and Heal removes part of your Burn and Poison.
| Effect | Ticks and decay | Shield and removal |
|---|---|---|
| Burn | Twice per second; decays | Halved while you have Shield; Heal and Cleanse remove part |
| Poison | Once per second; no decay | Ignores Shield; Heal and Cleanse remove part |
| Regen | Heals you once per second | — |
Burn decay
Patch 12.0 (4 March 2026) reduced the Burn decay rate to 3%. Keyword references still describe Burn as losing one point each time it deals damage; Tempo has not published the full formula.
Heal and cleanse
Heal restores Health up to your Max Health and cleanses 10% of your Poison and Burn. Items that “cleanse half” remove much more: Karnok’s Yarrow Paste (Patch 19.0) Heals and cleanses half your Burn and Poison on a 5-second cooldown.
Poison counters
- Regen offsets Poison tick for tick while your Regen is at least your Poison.
- Ectoplasm (common) has a 6-second cooldown since Patch 20.0 and Heals five times your enemy’s Poison, up from once.
