Each orb deals up to 3500 range damage when it lands and leaves behind a '''Poison Pit'''. ​ Poison Pits are large green pools that remain in the arena until Rathis uses '''Poison Absorption'''. Standing in them deals poison poisonicon damage every tick and applies ''Corrosion'', increasing all damage taken by 20% per stack, up to 100%. ​ Poison Pits shrink when stood in, going from 5x5 → 3x3 → 2x2 → 1x1. ​ '''Solution:''' ⬥ If avoiding them: ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Step away from the landing tiles as the orbs arrive ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Move only as much as needed, then return to melee distance ​ ⬥ If shrinking them: ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Keep Elder Overload Salve elderovlsalve, Venomblood venomblood or Super Antipoison superantipoison active to reduce poison damage ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Briefly stand in Poison Pits to shrink them before Poison Absorption ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Avoid building too many ''Corrosion'' stacks, as this makes all incoming damage more dangerous ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Do not risk dying just to shrink every pool ​ === Poison Absorption [https://img.pvme.io/images/ihohKA14Pr.mp4 (Example)] [https://img.pvme.io/images/ihohKA14Pr.mp4 Video] === '''Mechanic:''' Rathis absorbs any remaining Poison Pits, healing based on their size (you will see Uber Heal ‎appear over Rathis).
