Hints

  • Strengths
  • Weaknesses
  • All
Strengths added by admin 0 0
  • Spike Damage: Venom now has the ability to spike his opponent down later on in the match. To quickly finish off most opponents, get them below 18% health then use Venom’s Special 2 Attack to finish them off. The massive damage boost from the Special 2 Attack combined with Unblockable attacks and True Strike will take down most challengers.
  • Adjustable Power: Through careful use of Heavy Attacks, Venom can change his Genetic Memory Buff choice to better match his opponent. If the opponent has an effect that regularly ignores armor, try switching to Physical Resist or to an offense focused Genetic Memory Buff instead.
Weaknesses added by admin 0 0
  • Buff Reliant: Venom is very reliant on stacking up his Buffs to get the most damage output possible. Champions that can easily Nullify his Buffs will have a much easier time fighting Venom.

Abilities

Signature ability

Aggressive Symbiosis
Passive
Rapid evolutionary changes to the Symbiote grant Venom an additional Genetic Memory Buff at the start of the fight, as well as a X% chance to gain a third Buff to start the fight.

Hero Champions: +15% Bleed Ability Accuracy.
Spider-Verse Heroes: All attacks ignore Passive Evade effects.
Tech Champions: Power Burn & Power Drain Immunity.
Armor Break
Armor Break breaks the Armor of Armored Champions, preventing Armor from preventing damage. Armor Break is an effective counter to Armored Champions.
Heavy Attacks: A heavy strike inflicts Armor Break, reducing the opponent’s Armor rating by X for 11 seconds. Landing this attack also causes Venom to randomize his most recent Genetic Memory Buff.

Critical Hits: Critical Hits lacerate opponents with a 80% chance, inflicting X Bleed damage over 4.5 seconds.
Buff Steal
Buff Steal allows a Champion to take an opponent's active Buff (Armor Up, Regeneration, etc.).
Special Attack 1: Each strike has a 55% chance to steal a Buff and feed it to the symbiote, Nullifying the Buff, triggering a Genetic Memory Buff and healing Venom for X Health.
Fury
Fury increases a Champion's Attack power.
Special Attack 2: Venom is unleashed, converting all Genetic Memory Buffs into Fury Buffs, each increasing Attack by X for 12 seconds.
Genetic Memory
Genetic Memory is an ability exclusive to Venom. Genetic Memory allows Venom to gain a permanent beneficial effect that is chosen at random.
Passive:
Venom has a Klyntar Mutation Buff that refreshes itself every 9 seconds. When this effect activates, a random Genetic Memory Buff is gained from the list below. If Venom becomes Incinerated, the Mutation Buff is Nullified. Max Genetic Memory Buffs: 7.

Special attacks

1: Constituent Lash

Morphing his arm into a whip of constituent-matter, Venom lashes his target thrice.

Bio

After Peter Parker rejected a sinister alien symbiote, the extra-terrestrial threat sought revenge by bonding with Eddie Brock, ex-photographer for the Daily Bugle and Peter’s longtime rival. Fueled by their shared hatred of Spider-Man, Brock and the symbiote now use their immense strength and deadly abilities to gain revenge as the fearful Venom.
