If I use 2 poison spells on the same troops at the same time, will it slow down the attack speed of those troops more than just 1 poison spell?

as far as I'm aware of, you're just wasting one poison spell.Quote:

As for attack speed, once dropped it will instantly slow movement and attack speed by the number indicated. These also do not stack. If you drop a max poison (50% atk speed reduction) on top of a 45% atk speed reduction poison, it will take the highest rated poison.
TLDR; stacking poisons is NEVER beneficial.
No. Poison has 2 components: Slow & Damage. Slow is applied in full effect immediately and doesn't stack - I think it will last for a short time after the unit exits the spell. The Damage component is a stacking Damage Over Time Effect. So, for example, it stacks 5 damage per second each second up to 20 stacks. That's why it starts slow, gets faster, but then caps out. I'm pretty sure that 2 poisons will stack the damage twice as fast, but it's much better to chain poisons together because it extends the time a unit has max stacks of damage.
