Damage Over Time Booster is a powerful perk in 33 Immortals that enhances the overall effectiveness of status ailments applied to enemies. By increasing the damage inflicted by effects like Bleed, Burn, and Poison, this perk plays a critical role in sustained-damage builds and synergistic team strategies.

Overview

The Damage Over Time Booster applies a passive bonus to all forms of lingering damage caused by afflictions. It does not affect the duration of effects but instead increases the damage they inflict over time. It is most effective when paired with relics, weapons, or perks that reliably apply status effects to multiple enemies or to powerful bosses.

Affected Status Effects

The following status effects are enhanced by the Damage Over Time Booster:

• Bleed – Deals damage over time after critical hits or special relic effects.
• Burn – Applies fire-based DoT from specific relics or event hazards.
• Poison – Causes gradual damage, typically triggered by certain weapon effects or encounters.

These effects benefit from increased damage per tick, making them much more lethal over time, especially in high-density combat or boss phases with prolonged survival windows.

Acquisition

Players can obtain the Damage Over Time Booster by venturing into the Beyond and defeating powerful enemies. Upon discovering perk tokens, players must return to the Dark Woods and speak with Dante, who handles perk upgrades and management. Perks can be equipped between raids and swapped to match specific builds or team roles.

Upgrade Levels

The perk is upgradeable across five levels:

• Level I – Basic damage boost to all DoT effects.
• Level II–IV – Gradual increase in potency and scaling bonus.
• Level V – Maximum enhancement, ideal for endgame builds that rely on sustained pressure.

Upgrading requires both perk tokens and upgrade resources obtained during successful raids and boss fights.

Strategic Use

The Damage Over Time Booster is ideal for players who:

• Use relics that apply Bleed or Poison with high uptime.
• Play in coordinated teams where others can group enemies for AoE status applications.
• Want to maintain high DPS over time rather than burst damage.

Pairing this perk with offensive relics such as Crimson Crown or weapons that inflict guaranteed status effects amplifies its impact. It is especially useful in boss encounters where consistent damage is more reliable than short burst windows.

Synergy Tips

• Works well with perks that increase critical hit chance, enabling more frequent Bleed procs.
• Coordinate with support players who can slow or immobilize enemies to keep them inside DoT zones.
• Consider combining with the Heartpiercer Fang for a hybrid build focused on crit-based DoT.
