Void

Fear_of_Clowns2099

Can someone please explain to me why Void is so amazing? Is he still great without despair? Please don't take me wrong, I'm a pretty new void user. I have him at sig 135. Any tips on using him are also appreciated

Don't run him with suicides and spam sp1. His damage is decent but his utility is what makes him so amazing.

I guess but void's passive damage makes him much better than YJ imo but I understand where you're coming from.

He’s pretty good imo because of his way of dealing damage and utility.

Every unique debuff on the opponent degen them a certain amount.
Void can inflict up to three unique debuffs via SP1 and another 2 via SP2 (technically three but never at the same time)
The three debuffs he places via sp1 and over time are Petrify (reduce healing and power gain by 50%), Agility (reduce AAR of evade and extremity mastery by 30%) and Fatigue (reduces critical rating).

When duped, whenever you get two of each debuff you turn them into FOTV which increases your damage and the speed of which you generate debuffs. The FOTV passive provides the same benefits of the debuffs it used to be applied.
That last point means when you stack the second set of debuffs or another FOTV you can have up to -200% regen and power rate (effectively reversing 100% of the regeneration and power gain), -120% Evade AAR (effectively preventing evade except some cases) and a flat value of reduced critical rating.
He is also incinerate immune.

Now about the damage. As I mentioned, his main source of damage is not by hitting but by inflicting debuffs and having them degen the opponent.
That means his damage is very much like a DOT. This also means he often doesn’t trigger nodes like rage, is very good for nodes like safeguard (because of the consistent damage) excellent against Thing (because you don’t trigger protection) or any other scenario where your regular hit damage would be capped.

The best rotation for him is to always use the sp1 to inflict your debuffs as fast as possible, therefore getting the damage and utility as quickly as possible.

@Onmix Nice write up. Thanks for the explanation!

The_Sentry06

At a high sig, he gains quite a bit of bonus attack from fotv. Let's him hit decently hard and pairs nicely since you ideally want fotv active for most of the time.

Void is the heal and power reversal king and degen damage from his debuffs helps you do damage even without hitting the opponent. He is also incinerate immune.
Yj doesn't even come close in terms of versatility and damage both.

Or design either. YJ feels kinda clunky while Void's combo flows so perfectly.

I love Void he has great DOT he melts away most of my problems. R5 200sig can't get better than!!

Is void a good domino counter?

Yes. I use him for Domino on Tier 2 war on Power Snack and on Footloose.
Used to do it on the Safeguard mini in the old map.
You just need to be careful that you’re not “Unlucky” when FOTV would trigger because she can make it fail.

And you’re welcome! Hope it helped !

Also one little note is that his parry also causes damage.

Well not technically. It's not his Parry itself that causes the damage (Like Colossus's) but it's the stun debuff from Parry that does. It counts as a debuff for Voids abilities

I really enjoy the different playstyle that Void brings to the table. As others have mentioned, since most of his damage comes from having Debuffs on his opponent, rather than from landing hits, he's able to get around a lot of challenges just by applying Debuffs and biding his time. I like to say that Void has power proportional to a player's patience; the longer you can keep him in a fight, the more damage potential he has.

Since he's so reliant on Debuffs, be mindful about taking him into fights against opponents who can get rid of them easily. That said, he can gain even more power when you can apply more Debuffs to his opponent, like if you pair him with Mister Fantastic.

Aside from all the other utility already mentioned in this thread, I also like his Heavy Attack. It hits a few times and has a pretty decent range, so I've had success using him in fights where I need to Heavy intercept an opponent.
