Venom
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.
Base Stats & Abilities
*All stats based on 4 Star, Rank 5, Level 50, Signature Level 99
Class: Cosmic
Special 1: Constituent Lash
The symbiote attempts to replicate the opponent’s beneficial effects, with a 45% chance to copy up to 1 effect(s).
This effect can be used to copy any beneficial effect the opponent has, such as Armor Up, Fury or even Regeneration. The effect will be at the same strength as the original effect but will have its duration set to 7 seconds.
Special 2: Constituent Carnage
The symbiote attempts to replicate the opponent’s beneficial effects, with a 75% chance to copy up to 1 effect(s).
Special 3: Hide-And-Seek
The symbiote attempts to replicate the opponent’s beneficial effects, with a 100% chance to copy up to 2 effect(s).
Passive - Genetic Memory
Once every 10 seconds, the symbiote known as Venom calls upon its collective hive mind and grants its host a permanent beneficial effect from its genetic memory pool. Venom can only host 5 effects at a time.
Symbiote Rage: 9% increased Attack.
Symbiote Durability: 9% increased Physical Resistance.
Symbiote Shield: 6% increased Armor.
Symbiote Cruelty: 47% increased Critical Damage.
Symbiote Frenzy: 17% increased Critical Hit Rate.
All Attacks - Bleed
7% chance to inflict Bleed, dealing 34% of your Attack as direct damage over 5 seconds.
Signature Ability - Bloodlust
Venom’s bloodlust triggers whenever the opponent bleeds, increasing Critical Hit Rate by 20% and Critical Damage by (15% - 115%) for as long as the enemy continues bleeding.
This effect stacks with all benefits from Genetic Memory.
This effect also triggers off of enemy Self Bleed effects such as Double Edge.
Synergy Bonuses
Spider-Man - Nemesis: +6% Attack
Spider-Man (Black Suit) - Family: +5% Health
Electro - Rivals: +25% Critical Hit Damage
Recommended Masteries
Enhanced Fury
Each Symbiote Rage effect counts as a Fury and Enhanced Fury will increase all of those effects. Since these effects last the entire fight, gaining the extra damage output and extra Bleed damage can be very punishing.
Cruelty
With the increased Critical Hit Rate from Genetic Memory and Bloodlust, Venom can land fairly reliable Critical Hits while his enemy is bleeding. Increasing his Critical Damage can turn these moments into devastating attack opportunities.
Physical Resistance / Perfect Block
These masteries, as well as the ones that lead up to them, help increase Venom’s overall endurance in order to ensure he lasts longer in the fight and has more of a chance to build up his Genetic Memory triggers.
Strengths
Venom performs his best when the fight has gone on long enough for him to stack up multiple effects from Genetic Memory and as a result, favors players who can hold back long enough to trigger multiple effects to gain the best results.
Venom’s ability to copy his opponent’s beneficial effects is extremely powerful when used against champions with predictable effects, such as Ultron, Iron Man or Deadpool. Copying a powerful Regeneration effect can allow Venom to heal up a massive amount of Health while his Genetic Memory protects him from further harm. Holding back a Special 3 until just the right moment can allow a clever player to copy these effects for maximum use.
Venom is best used in an aggressive manner while the opponent is bleeding. Holding back during these times is not as advised as the large boost to Critical Hit Rate and Critical Damage can allow Venom to put out a large amount of damage from a single combo.
Weaknesses
Like many Cosmic champions, Venom is very reliant on his beneficial effects to see him to victory. As a result, he performs poorly against Mystic champions that can strip away these effects reliably such as an awakened Dr. Strange or Magik.
