Spider-Man (Symbiote) Rework Idea

Marvel’s Contest of Champions 2021
Character Update


[OLD] Spider-Man (Symbiote)
[NEW] Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow)
Cosmic




Spider-Man Symbiote is long overdue for an update gameplay wise and animation wise. I am thinking this would probably be a Spider-Man (Miles Morales) level update. Due to that fact Spider-Man (Symbiote) could do with a new lick of paint, for which he can be unique among all of the current Symbiotes and Spider-Men and Spider-Woman that we have in the game thus far.

Symbiote Spider-Man has recently gotten a new comic run in the form of What If? Spider-Man: Spider’s Shadow written by Chip Zdarsky, Pasqual Ferry and Matt Hollingsworth. This is a perfect opportunity to update this web-slinger (venom-slinger) and bring him back into the limelight to be used without people being disappointed.

Spider-Man (Symbiote) currently revolves around being an absolute crit monster but due to the evolution of the game, that isn’t the case. I have a few ideas for an update to Spider-Man (Symbiote) that could bring him up to standard.

The reason why I like the What If? Spider-Man: Spider’s Shadow run is because its Peter Parker if he never gave up the Venom Symbiote. He gets to a point where he just kills all the Villains he comes across. Personally I think that idea is awesome and is where I got the new Passive Ability: Rage of the Symbiote from.



Things Spider-Man (Symbiote) needs to become relevant again:

- Signature Ability Update and Overhaul
- Special Attack Overhaul
- Special Attack Animations Update
- New character model to come into line with the recent comic run: “What If? Spider-Man: Spider’s Shadow” (that’s my opinion anyway not needed but would be absolutely awesome)




[NEW] Signature Ability: Symbiote’s Infinite Rage
The strange alien Symbiote grows stronger as Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow)’s hatred and rage increases. When Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) gains a Rage Charge he has a (X%) to gain another +1 Rage Charge which increases the potency of his Rage Charges by (X%). On Critical Hits Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) has a 35% chance to armor break reducing their armor (X%) per Armor Break.

With this new signature ability will make Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) a force to be reckoned with in attack or defense.




PASSIVE ABILITY

[NEW] Poison Immunity
Due to the Cosmic nature of the Symbiote and its ability to adapt, Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) is immune to poisons of the battlerealm.


[NEW] Enhanced Spider-Senses
Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) has increased agility having a 10% - 45% chance to evade incoming attacks. This percentage is increased by how many Rage Charges Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) has.


[NEW] Rage of the Symbiote (Rage Charges - Max 10 Stacks)

Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) Rage increases during the fight, having a 15% - 40% chance of gaining +1 Rage Charge on Critical Hits. This chance increases with every Rage Charge gained.

Rage Charges increase Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow)’s Crit Chance by (X%), Crit Damage by (X%), Attack Rating by (X%) and Evasion Chance by (X%) per charge. These Rage Charges last 15 seconds and refresh when a critical hit is landed. All Rage Charges are used when a Special Attack ends.



SPECIAL ABILITIES

[NEW] Special Attack 1

Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) has a 45% chance to inflict an Armor Break per hit (up to three hits) reducing their Armor by (X%) for 10 seconds.

Rage Enhanced
Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) increases the chance to armor break from 45% to 100% based on how many Rage Charges he has. The opponent will be 100% stunned at the end of the Special Attack for 5 seconds.



[NEW] Special Attack 2

Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) has a 45% chance to Critical Hit (up to five hits) granting Spider-Man a Fury Buff per hit raising his attack rating by (X%) for 15 seconds.

Rage Enhanced
Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) has a 45% to 100% chance to Critical Hit based on how many Rage Charges he has. Each Critical Hit (up to five hits) will grant two Fury Buffs per hit increasing Attack Rating by (X%) for 25 Seconds.



[NEW] Special Attack 3

Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) hatred runs deep and is infinite. Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) inflicts a Weakness Debuff reducing the opponents Attack Rating by (X%)

Rage Enhanced
Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) stores up to 3 Rage Charges permanently giving Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) the ability to break the amount of Rage Charges he can have one time. If Symbiote Spider-Man (Spider’s Shadow) is at 10 Rage Charges he permanently increases his Critical Hit Rating by 25% (Up to 75% max after three SP3 Attacks)




Due to the possibility of this kit being overloaded, this is just my two sense on how I think the champion could evolve in our current state of the game. I think the initial dream that was envisioned for Spider-Man (Symbiote) was to be an absolute monster that Critical Hits often and hard. Due to the content we have to this date we need more utility and/or more ways of increasing damage so we can get through the content. Personally I still think this is a little light but didn’t want Spider-Man (Symbiote) to have absolutely everything. I also wanted him to have a mechanic that would be fun to use.

Thanks for reading!
