Venom the Duck - Storing Buffs

Dono512

I wanted to see if anyone can clarify specifically how Venom the Duck stores additional buffs when activating a special or heavy attack. I understand the overall mechanic, but one particular detail/scenario is mainly what I want clarity on.

Consider this scenario:
You enter a fight with 6 persistent charges (ie 6 existing buffs). Let’s say there are 3 regens, 1 attack, 1 power gain, 1 armor up. When you start the fight all 6 of these are active, so when you throw a special/heavy attack which of the active buffs will be stored? Since there is a per fight limit of 3, will it choose three of the active buffs at random, or is it based on the order the appear on the fight screen?

Another example, I had 3 regens and 2 attacks (so 5 total). I was hoping to add more attack buffs, but when I used a special it instead stored 3 additional regens, so then I would have 6 regens and still 2 attack. Is there any way to control which buffs you store?

From my experience it looks like he stors randomly so I don’t store after sp3. Tried it multiple times and there doesn’t seem to be an order

I have the same question and haven't found which nodes are stored in this example you gave. Is it the two or three most recent nodes your stored? we need to tag Kabam Mike or someone who can answer this

For anyone who doesn’t check reddit, here is the order of buffs.

You could just look at the buff bar. It stores the first 3. At least that’s what my experience with him tells me.

So when I wanna be selective, I’ll wait for individual buffs to store instead of post match start or sp3.
