Advanced New Poison Mechanics??

I know that in the current update the poison spells deals greater over time. But in which ways does it work?

1) The effect of the poison spell only increase the longer the troops are in its aoe

2) The effect of the poison spell increases no matter if any troops are in its aoe. For e.g. i will lure the cc troops and place the poison spell at the corner where i will lure the troops to. Then will the damage get so great that, assuming the poison is still active, once the cc reach there, it will die almost immediately.

I believe your second point in the true one. The spell itself is weak until it has a chance to permeate. Then once the troops enter it does damage according to the increased damage. That's what I got from the videos I have seen from it at least. I have my dark spell fact down for upgrade so have not had the chance to play with it yet.

With the updated poison spell, wouldn't it be better to drop the poison spell on the cc troops immediately after they exit the cc castle, wait approximately 10 seconds, and then release your kill squad in the area to which you want to lure the cc troops? The spell continues to do damage even after the defensive units leave the aoe. By the time the cc troops reach your kill squad, they should be significantly weakened and easily finished off.

This is correct but still doesn't justify pre-deploying the poison spell since it would still deal more total damage if you lure CC to corner then put Poison and wait it out (if time-out isn't an issue of course).

2nd one is feasible. However Poison is no longer effective againt skellies for hogs and laloon attacks.
