Clover Time Poison Guide: Mist, Explosion & Clone Control

What does the Poison Grimoire offer in Clover Time?

Poison is an Epic Grimoire that combines a ranged projectile, continuing mist damage, an explosion around the user, and a fighting clone. These four roles give it several positioning choices during an encounter. Learn the attack areas and clone commands separately before trying to manage every part of the kit at once.

Original concept illustration.

Poison is in the tower’s Epic group alongside Explosive Flame. The Grimoire tier list compares its PvE role with the rest of the ten-book roster.

How do the projectile, mist, and explosion differ?

The projectile sends an attack toward a target, mist creates an area that continues damaging enemies inside it, and the explosion occurs around your character. Each therefore asks a different positioning question: can the shot reach, will the enemy stay inside the mist, and can you approach safely enough to use the explosion?

Keep the enemy’s attack range in mind when moving from ranged pressure into a closer exchange.

How do you think about Stop Clone and Order Clone?

Stop Clone tells the summon to stop and hold its position, while Order Clone tells it to focus on and attack a target. Clone control is a separate task from aiming a projectile or placing mist. Practise the commands while watching the summon so its behaviour remains clear during movement and spell use.

Treat the clone as an additional tool to manage, rather than assuming that placing a mist area also directs the summon.

When is Poison worth comparing with a sword kit?

Compare Poison when you want ranged pressure, a damaging area, and a summon alongside movement. A sword kit such as Anti Magic instead emphasises close-range attacks, approach tools, and a counter. Decide around the enemy and the positions you can maintain, then practise one part of the preferred kit before combining its tools.
