Toxic Growth is a Tier 5 Chaos-based Bow Attack in Path of Exile 2 that unleashes a toxic volley of arrows, planting pustules that explode after a delay. These pustules can be Poisoned to amplify their damage and detonation radius, making Toxic Growth a powerful tool for chaos-over-time builds and area denial strategies.
"Leap into the air and fire a volley of arrows which cause toxic pustules to sprout from the ground on impact. The pustules explode after a delay and can be Poisoned, causing them to explode faster and more violently."
Note: Purchasing this item, you will receive a level 21 Toxic Growth gem with 5 support sockets.

Path of Exile 2 Toxic Growth FAQs
How does Poison affect Toxic Growth's explosions?
Poisoning a pustule causes it to store poison damage, which increases its explosion radius and damage up to 300%. This makes poison-scaling builds extremely effective.
Can Toxic Growth be used in Barrage setups?
Yes. Toxic Growth is Barrage-compatible, allowing rapid deployment of pustules across a wide area.
Do pustules benefit from projectile or chaos damage modifiers?
Yes. The initial arrow and the pustule explosion both scale with projectile and chaos damage, making hybrid scaling viable.
Is Toxic Growth viable for boss fights?
Absolutely. Poison-stacked pustules can be placed in advance and detonated for massive burst damage when the boss enters range.
Can pustules be supported by trap or mine mechanics?
No. Toxic Growth is an attack skill and requires bow usage. It is not compatible with trap or mine supports.
