Variant 8 Venompool Boss Help

I noticed KT1 was able to get him down using Apoc and Mister Fantastic synergy. But I missed how he did it - and I’m now stuck. Lol. Any one have any suggestions as how to get pass this guy?

I feel like vigor or arc overload 2.0 would be much better than permanent 1% regen

I took him down with Unobtainiumpool. -44 hits. Fun matchup.

I just discussed the use of unobtainium with my students this week...

The difficulty of this V8 does not equal the rewards. Lower difficulty or up the rewards. Kabam are way off with how this scales

Why is there no in game message! STOP! play venompool at your own risk. I and many others can’t live on the forums. I didn’t know this boss was getting fixed till after I tried him. Why would you leave this content open with out a message in game. What a waist of resources and time this is causing.

While you are not wrong that an in game message would be helpful. The greater question is why are you running new content so soon after it came out? The track record over the last 6 months shows that this is just a dangerous proposition.

I have 1 point in despair , will Apoc and Mr.F synergy work??

I've seen a couple people say they did it with 2 points, I do not recall seeing a post about anyone doing it with just 1 point.

At 1 you will need 20 debuffs to reduce to 100. Don't think that's practical at all

For danielmeth even reducing attack by 1% would be " nerfing a ton"

Haha I haven’t tried the fight yet so idk what it’s like, but if something is difficult just wait till they nerf it, no need to waste units or items

You should try it. If you have apoc even as a 4* , it's easy

True… but I have to say 7.3 was close to flawless as Kabam gets. I shouldn’t have to wait. There are 1000s of players that would happily beta test content for them. They need to hire some regular players not Youtubers as part time testers

The problem is that it's really only doable with Apoc and Mr. F, Sabretooth with the Bad Breath and Killmonger, Torch with Prefight, and Domino with mad luck. Half of those options aren't even Mercenaries.
I did it with a 2/3 Health 5/65 Apoc and Mr. F and soloed it with no problem. It's just such a restrictive fight.

I agree

For a moment I thought bad breath was a nickname for sasquatch

Seeing that a mod has to ask “what exactly are the issues with this fight besides needing a non-merc champ” tells me all I need know about Kabam:

They don’t truly test before new content goes live

They dont want to be bothered with doing testing.

Doing the fight themselves would show them what the problems are but I guess that’s too much to ask. No chance in hell I’m spending any money on a company this incompetent and apathetic.

As has already been pointed out many times, Miike isn't a game developer, he's the forum moderator. It's not his job to test the game or make sure it's working, it's to handle the forums and (I think) the twitter page. In situations like this, him asking what the issue is so he can tell the devs right away is exactly what he should do.
Also, yeah, I doubt that this content was really tested with any amount of seriousness, but that's not on Miike

If a mod needs to ask that to bring our feedback back to the devs…. That reflects poorly on them all. If the devs don’t know what the problem is and have to ask mods to ask the players for feedback , wow…. My statements still stands.

If the devs knew what the problem is, do you think they would have released it?

I used symbiote supreme , nullified his regen
Applied 19 snacks stacks
He still degened only 1%
Bugged fight , please reacess.

He takes 95% reduced damage from non-mercenaries, including the degen from the node

I gave it a run. Felt like VP could get it going, but I could never get the specials timing right to nullify his regen when I needed it. Tried Torch with Wags, and not successful there either.

Only threw a few L1s and heal pots at it, so nothing lost.

But…ally mate went full steam ahead and somehow missed all the notices in game and burned through a decent amount of pots and units before quitting out in frustration and checking chat.

That’s on him obviously, but it also further underscores why communication is important. If you aren’t on forums (as the vast majority of players aren’t) and don’t check YouTubers for every bit of content (impractical, and again most players don’t) you wouldn’t know how bugged the fight is.

Please fix it soon.

So are we not talking about that Deadpool -100% chance to throw specials yet he immediately throws SP3. smh

Mauled

That is being talked about but at least you can brute force that one. Incidentally, Nebula Sp2 does the job nicely and she can tank his sp3 - depending on the rank. I went in with ~50%, did one sp2 and ate an sp3 before the shock finished him off.

the difference between the two fights is one is an unforeseen interaction with the no specials, and I’m guessing the force of Will node clashing. I mean, both point to a total lack of play testing.

DrZola

Like Cage navigated it for me. Tank a Sp3, eat a Sp3. Then get a little lucky and stun lock to finish off. But that was after 4 champs died to Sp3. I’ve also seen some good use of Heimdall there.

None of which goes to say it isn’t bugged.
