The Venomous Fang is a Claw in Elden Ring.
When to Use It
Mid game. It is found around Caelid, which opens up past Stormveil Castle, so it arrives once a build has taken shape.
Why Players Pick It
The only claw without bleed, carrying 72 deadly poison instead. Infusing it with Poison keeps the deadly-poison damage while using normal poison's duration, and that the poison scales with Arcane under Poison, Blood and Occult, it reaches B Arcane and 66 poison on Occult +25. Also the only claw with a 100 rather than 110 critical.
Upgrades
Ordinary Smithing Stones carry it all the way to +25, and because it is not a Somber weapon it will also hold a grease or a weapon buff, which is a damage source the unique blades simply do not have.
Build
Its scaling runs Str at D and Dex at D, so Str and Dex are the stats worth levelling, and you need Str 9 and Dex 9 before you can lift it. Any Ash of War and any affinity will sit on it, so its scaling can be re-cut towards whichever stat you are already levelling. It also causes poison buildup (72) on its own, with no infusion needed.
Notes
One of the weapons designed for gladiatorial combat. Used by duelists who were exiled from the colosseum. The black fang protruding from the bronze snake head is coated in deadly poison.
