(DLC)
Poison Spear-Hand Strike can easily proc Poison in a few casts. Usually one is enough when running an ARC build.

Elden Ring - Serpentbone BladeSerpentbone Blade ・One of the only Katanas in the game that can inflict inherent Poison buildup.
・Katana moveset allows you to power-stance it with a Bleed katana for easy Poison and Bleed procs.
