About Venompool
“Origin story time! Ahem. A long time ago...in a forgotten corner of the Contest, a wise, handsome, kick-butt dude became permanently duct-taped to a weird, alien Venom thingy…”
“That’sssss not what happened!”
“Shut up Symbioid, I’m telling the story! Dang. Lost my place. Oh well, anywhoozle, epic story told in haiku! Deadpool Venom mix; Smashed together, best friends; and....Chimichangas?”
“We must kill the Ssssssspider-Man!”
“Oh Symby! You’re the funniest. You always crack me up.”
Venompool's Mechanics
Venompool’s primary focus is on stacking up his Cookin’ Meter to gain an endless amount of his Blender Buffs. These Buffs can range from Combat Power Rate boosters to Bonus Burst Damage effects, each one providing you with a significant offensive power spike. Stacking up all 5 of his Blender Buffs at once will allow you to gain additional Fury Buffs and lay out some heavy punishment on your opponent. Additionally Venompool is still adept at stealing away Buffs from his opponent and cancelling out those pesky Tech Champions with a variety of Power Drain and Damage-Over-Time Immunities.

Champion Class: Cosmic
Basic Abilities: Bleed, Fury, Regeneration
STRENGTHS:
- High Damage Potential
- Venompool accumulates Buffs as the fight progresses, so the longer the fight the more Buffs he gains
- Great vs Buff reliant Champions
- Venompool is able to easily steal Buffs from other Champions, thus Buff heavy Champions are at a disadvantage
- Nullify
- Venompool is very Buff reliant, thus Champions that are proficient in Nullifying Buffs will have an advantage
- Short Fights
- Venompool takes some time to generate Buffs, thus in more time constraining fights it will be difficult for him to ramp up his damage
ABILITIES:
The following Stats and Abilities are based on a Rank 5, Level 65, 5-Star Champion
Cookin’ Meter:
- Venompool has a Cookin’ Meter which begins at 50 Charges and gains 10 more Charges every 5 second(s).
- Any attack from either Champion grants 4 Charges.

Heavy Attack:
- Re-roll the most recently gained Blender Buff.
- If the opponent is knocked down, 100% chance to gain a Vicious Buff increasing the Potency of Damage-Over-Time Debuffs by 60%. This lasts for 5 seconds per Unique Buff.

Sounds like a Culinary Variant of Venom The Duck lol
Let's put him fully ramped with all blender buffs, a couple of Furies (which will be very easy to sustain), and a Vicious buff, and the Falcon/Stealthy synergy:
+2640 Attack
+2800 Critical Rate
+60% Damaging Debuff damage
+25% Burst physical damage on every attack*
+15% Combat Power
+ Shut down all Spiderverse evade
*Personally, if I was an Awakened Venompool, I'd probably prefight this one, to increase it to +40% Burst physical damage on every attack. Unless I was fighting OG Spidey, in which case you want to get that Klyntar buff really early.
At the end of this ramp up, each bleed effect will be dealing 9684 damage, taking into account the Attack bonus and Vicious buff. Plus add another 12,900 damage for any Bleeds that get paused whilst your Cookin' meter is Spicy.
He's definitely out of the trash and into the useable column now. At least on Attack. He's probably less useful on defense, but tbh I'm happy about that too.
Can’t wait to test out all those synergies too, a lot of great champs in there 👌🏼
Nice job, Kabam!
Also he has tons of synergy with many good champ and those synergy work for him very well too, i can't wait to make a team like that.
Hit three SP1s or one SP3 and you should inflict three times that (9864x3=29,592 overall, unless you pause it). From the bleed damage perspective, it therefore doesn't actually make much difference how you use them.
It'll be interesting to see which synergies they change - the buff notes didn't mention the 'old' synergies carried by Symbiote Supreme and Masacre. Hopefully they stay the same, or similar.
It goes to zero to the best of my knowledge as having it reset to 50 would be odd
This is not including the furys, deep wounds or synergys
