Description
The Green Lung Special
When an underperforming sword meets a crit engine and accidentally becomes a chemical weapon.
The Green Lung Special is a Hive Scum Devil’s Claw build that turns critical hits into airborne warfare. The sword itself doesn’t win fights by raw damage — it wins by proccing toxin over and over, choking out heretics while you dance through the mob like a walking OSHA violation.
This is a crit-driven toxin build, not a brainless spam fest. When the crits start flowing, so does the green fog.
🧪 Build Concept
The Devil’s Claw has always lived in the shadow of better melee options — until you stop asking it to hit hard and instead ask it to apply problems.
By stacking crit chance, attack speed, and uptime tools, this build ensures:
- Frequent critical hits
- Reliable toxin application on crit
- Sustained damage over time that softens everything around you
- A surprising amount of crowd control for a “mid” sword
You’re not here to one-shot enemies.
You’re here to make them regret breathing.
⚔️ How It Works
- Critical hits are the engine — every crit applies toxin
- The Devil’s Claw’s fast, repeatable attack patterns make crit fishing consistent
- Once toxin is rolling, enemies melt while you reposition, dodge, and parry
- Elites and hordes alike suffer from stacking chemical pressure
The sword itself becomes a delivery system, not the payload.
🎮 Playstyle
- Fish for crits, don’t tunnel on raw damage numbers
- Stay mobile — toxin keeps working while you move
- Let enemies cook while you control space
- Parry and reposition to keep crit uptime high
If the screen isn’t faintly green, you’re doing it wrong.
😈 Why Use This Build?
- You want a Devil’s Claw build that actually works
- You enjoy status-based damage over brute force
- You like meme builds that secretly pull their weight
- You want to gas Nurgle’s minions using their own color palette
☣️ Final Notes
This build lives and dies by crit consistency. When the engine is running, it feels amazing. When it’s not, you’ll feel it — so keep your stats tight and your swings frequent.
Breathe Deep.
The Green Lung Special is working.
