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?

Despair mastery required ?

U need despair mastery for that to work I think

VP shrugs off all debuffs. You can’t rely on despair

He doesn't shrug the debuffs vs Apoc, so you can use him and mr fantastic.

I haven't tested, but I guess you could use sabretooth with KM synergy to see if you can reverse the regen with mr fantastic debuffs too

Apoc has that -100% purfiy ability accuracy to opponents though.

So the only way to beat the final boss is to use a champ who’s not a merc? That can’t be intended

Thanks.

My apologies I missed the part about KT1 using Apox, I was just thinking of ways to beat him using the desired champs of Mercs and the Deadpool family

who thought this fight was a good idea? terrible design, he is actually unbeatable.

spigwender

sorry, i just remembered some of you will lose it, he is unbeatable with 99% of characters in the game.

I mean there's niche fights and then there's this

This seems like a really poorly designed fight in my opinion. Not because it’s hard, I’ve just done it with Apoc. But it’s just too niche.

There is only 1 mercenary that can do it, and that’s only theoretically Sabretooth with KM synergy and Mr fantastic pre fights.

The other option is Apoc who I used. I guess it’s possible torch pre fight can do it, but you have one chance to do it, can’t parry heavy to keep temperature up and with energise and his power gain, it’s all but impossible.

It’s one thing to have a debuff shrugging regen champ, and have the counter be passive heal block, but when all those champions do 5% damage it’s just ridiculous in my opinion. Maybe there’s a bunch of champs nobody is thinking of, but right now, this seems far too niche design.

The good thing about this is a 4* Apoc could do it, since it’s reversing regen. But you’ll need despair.

If it was working as intended you should be able to out damaged based on the node I used bwdo because she applies a ton of debuffs and I had 20+ charges which for every 10 charges it’s 10% based on how the node reads but I barely took 5% off him and bam back to 100% instantly

Wish I realized that the boss was unbeatable without Apoc and Mr. F before I wasted a ton of resources getting to him.
Good work Kabam

AlexBossu

Tried with ht and bwcv. Didnt work 🥲

Shouldn't torch with pre fights technically work? Nova flame is passive and reduces healing by 20% per stack.

This is what I’m going to try. With wags prefight.

%1 regen shouldn't be there, it's too much.

-sixate-

So has anyone killed him with a mercenary? This is a stupid fight design. Just dumb af actually.

Let's create a quest to use mercs, but they're all useless to kill the final boss? What are you thinking Kabam?

TheBair123

but wait guys we got 5 revives last week. that should be enough, right?

sarcasm just to be clear

Domino with suicides can beat him with her ramoed sp3 and getting rng on your side

Hammerbro_64

Could GP work? Reduce AAR then debuff him down?

That regen node outregens the degen from Smorgasbord. They literally contradict each other.
This design is stupid in all honesty.
I was looking forward to a fun Variant which it was until this dumb boss fight.
What’s the point in making it for Mercs if no Mercs can take VP down?

Use all of Mr Fs pre fights, then use Apoc and just keep using heavies. Then use a sp1 and sp2 for more debuffs. Just use heavies. You also need 3/3 despair.

Just an FYI, you NEED the 1 shot. If you die, Apoc no longer works and you need to restart.

Does kabaam not have play testers? How did this get through? Apoc, Mr. Fantastic, and max despair is required. I beat the guy, but the rewards are terrible. F- kabaam

Great so u need whitemags to kill it and get lucky with bleed.

You need to get lucky to firstly get a critical bleed, but also for it to not get shrugged off. All for a 200+ hit fight.

Fabulous design if you ask me
