Act VI - Chapter 3 Finale Boss (Venom)
I've had a glimpse of how strong Venom could be with multiple local Bonus Nodes to boost his Attack/Health plus a couple special Passives that he might not have had before. I tried using my regular team to take him out and then I decided to try an All-Mystic Team to conquer the unrivaled Champion with little to no success. Clearly, I need to clear out some Nodes and Opponent Champions before I meet Boss Venom again?
Venom is incredibly efficient and thus deserving of the God tier with major Burst/Spike Damage amongst True Strike and Unstoppable Abilities, based on his arsenal of abilities - planning should be prepared assuming that you take his siphoning force serious enough to fulfill his reckoning. Furthermore; Venom gains Cruelty and Precision during the beginning of each fight via Signature Ability.
Unlike others; Venom's Passive Buff is dependent on the Champion Class he will battle.
-Tech-Class cannot use Power Burn or Power Drain due to Venom becoming Immune.
-Spider-Verse Heroes cannot use Evade due to Venom becoming Immune.
-All other Heroes suffer from +15% Bleed Ability Accuracy.
Based on the small sample size of his biography - all I am thinking of is 'OUCH!'
Heavy Attacks inflict Armor Break so Parry and/or Dexterity Masteries would be great in hopes to counter any Charged Attacks and Stun Venom?
Critical Attacks will also gain 80% chance to cause Bleed Damage forcing additional Damage-Per-Second on the Champion.
Utilizes both Armor Up Buffs and gains Increased Physical Resistance would suggest using Bleed or Poison Damage-Over-Time might be the fastest way to eliminate Venom while absolutely avoiding his Special Attacks using Block with any particularly strong Block Proficiency Champion to negate as much Damage via Block as possible.
-SP1 Attacks grant Nullify after Venom uses Buff Steal and then turns it into Health Regeneration which could instantly become a nightmare for many Heroes that are ill-prepared for Venom. Using any Champions that can reduce Defense Ability Accuracy might help to slow down Venom.
SP2 Attacks - converts all Genetic Memory Buffs into Multiplier and transfers them into Fury Buffs.
-When below 18% Maximum Health; Venom gains True Strike Buff ignoring all Armor Rating and Resistances PLUS becomes Unstoppable in the process. With a well-placed Heavy Attack; survivability becomes slim to none.
SP3 Attacks - Venom gains +5% Attack Damage for each Buff on himself.
It could be a wild chance however Elektra with Signature Ability unlocked offers a similar Passive to any targets under 25% Maximum Health and if the Player has the Assassin Mastery; could further put some hurt on Venom if Armor Break is available?
Venom excels at Burst Damage and becomes more dangerous within 20% Maximum Health threshold. Opting for Bleed Immune Champions can further help avoid significantly losing Health quickly. Perhaps using any Health Regeneration Champions could also prolong the fight and hopefully align the battle into your favor. Considering that Venom is constantly using Buffs I'd imagine that Nullify could work well despite Venom also having a Nullify of his own.
What Champion(s) did you use for this particular Act-4/3/6 Quest? Whom would you suggest for defeating Venom?
