Legendary Version:
- Forced Affix: Poison Skin Area
  - "Emits a toxic cloud when you take damage."

Works very well with the mutations Vengeance, Adrenaline and Recovery, letting yourself get hit on purpose to proc critical and DPS bonus to quickly heal a lot of health.
Blocking with any shield can enable critical hits more safely and easily by allowing you to take significantly lower damage from enemy hits.
Face Flask can enable critical hits on use without having to take damage from enemy hits. Using it with Instinct of the Master of Arms can allow to deal critical DPS permanently.

Critical hits cannot be triggered if the Cursed Sword is in the other hand or the backpack.
