Is Acquired Tolerance Worth It?

Skill Ranking S Rank Icon

Acquired Tolerance is a must-have skill for Toxicity Builds

This skill is very useful because increasing your maximum Toxicity will allow you to drink more potions and decoctions at the same time. It also synergizes really well with the Heightened Tolerance skill.

Lastly this skill becomes more powerful the longer you play. Discovering more formulas would further increase your max toxicity allowing you to have more potion or decoction combos.

Conclusion

This skill might not be useful early in the game, but late in the game this skill can outrank other skills due to its very good scaling and how cheap and easy it is to get.
