I have the solution about The Serpent rebalancing

Rebark

It may sound crazy, but Kabam should buff The Serpent even more.

He's the fear guy. Your champions shouldn't have the courage to hit him. During the first 30 seconds you get rooted because you're paralyzed by fear.

He should have a second life, Nick Fury does and no one complains, why can't the supposed best defender in the game have one? And both should activate immunity to death, regeneration and power gain.

The fear debuff he places on SP1 should be passive, so no one can take advantage of it to regenerate with willpower.

His SP3 should ignore damage reduction.

The Serpent imposes fear, so you should lose power when you hit him.

Finally, you should be paralyzed by fear when The Serpent shows his abilities. After activating a special, you will be rooted until the end of the special.

This is what I’m talking about! I love it, but why stop at 2 lives when you can have 3? If he’s the best defender in the game he needs to put NF to shame, not just match him.

How about we give him indestructible passive for 500 seconds he will truly be unstoppable and would put nick to shame this time also increase by 30 per dread

Just give him phases like superior Kang where he rewinds time three times when he would get knocked out but give him the decoy for each phase too!

He also needs a BG specialized ability - if you ban him, your entire opponent’s roster gets a 30% attack rating, a passive indestructible buff every 15 seconds that lasts 7 seconds, and a passive power gain buff that increases in potency the more health they lose.

You will fear Serpent - even banning him will produce FEAR.

Theshadow

Nah this is just a nerf. He already has all this.

The real buff is when we start a fight serpent inflicts a fear on the device which due to fear refuses to open the game until serpent smashes the attacker.

There is a 25% chance to apply cross fight fear on the attacker which makes them hallucinate the serpent and his abilities making them unable to attack or defend for next ten fights.

If they add this I will consider it a buff. I won't settle for anything else.

I like this Idea.. dare to Ban hin..

Guys, guys. We're all just talking about abilities that make our champions fear him, not us fear him.

He should have access to our savings accounts. If we lose the game, bye bye college fund for the kiddos.

That does seem like the only way he could actually be even more balanced than he already is

Dust already have this ability I swear.

Serpent is the god of fear.... You are just playing against him in impossible difficulty. Upon losing a fight against any serpent in any mode, the champ you used will "die" instead of "K.O.", Permanently leaving your account.

Yall giving kabam ideas for the 9.2 boss? Or a summer of suffering boss.

You can get them back in the store with 4 T4 alpha. But they will lose any awakening, sigs, and rank. And if you just threw a 7 star R1 at him as a sacrifice, he takes your highest prestige champ.

Wiccan isnt consistent enough on serpent and works 75% of the time so to make wiccan more consistent we will give death immunity 200% ability accuracy so wiccan works 0% of the time.

EdisonLaw

Just give him an unblockable when he has death immunity and by hitting the opponent he can pause it indefinitely

Make immune to any ability reduction buff immunity and cant reduce power rate

Darkraw346

Psycho man is based on Fear too,
Give him that buff

Nightheart

If you use Drax against him it's a guaranteed win because we can't see Drax and neither can Serpent

WednesdayLength

It is disappointing that dll said he would have given him a pre fight to turn off his death immunity on offense so he can be better in long form content but because of the response anything that would have made him better in any capacity wouldn't have gone down well so they scrapped it. The death immunity is the worst part of his kit both offensively and defensively lmao

Ashacekar

Okie so now it's at "If you can't beat them, join them" stage. Kabam will be taking notes and will add it to upcoming champs if not Serpie.
Paralyse debuff sounds haunting enough.

Fryday

I think he also need Damage reflect, but let ensure to make it balance, so just 120% reflect the damage taken during the fight.

And to ensure he really raise the skill of players, just make it all the time.

That sound about balanced 😊👍

Kalantak

he should immortality opposite to herc, as long as opponent tries to hit him he stays immortal and if opponent stays on distance he gains stacking regen passive stacks, max may b only cap at 5?
while immortal he cant be killed by sp3 n sp1 and sp2 has 99.99% damage reduction,
while on second life he stays unblockable, unstopablle, stun immune, nulify immune, all damage over timr debuff immune

Emilia90

I think they should give him photon and bullseye’s defensive abilities too. He inflicts debuffs but WP is off and the more debuffs you have the more block damage you take. When he enters pure fear his specials are passively unblockable. He also causes massive energy damage with the sp1 through the block and he has killer instinct active

GroundedWisdom

This must have been what the conversation was like when Stryker made Wade Wilson into Weapon 11.

Ashacekar

I got one idea, he can have miike's revenge ability, he will have 5% chance per hit to remove 6* Hercules from roster when on defense.

Chuck_Finley

Think he needs an offensive buff too….

Just spitballing but:

-While Heavy Attack Charging: Serpent generates powerful waves of vibrations that causes an Earthquake, dealing X% of your Attack as physical damage per second.

-While Heavy Attack Charging: Inflicts Concussion, reducing the opponent's Ability Accuracy by X%. 100% chance to evade incoming attacks while opponent has a concussion

-While Heavy Attack Charging: While Serpent is generating an Earthquake through this attack, the Aftershock Scale goes up by X every X seconds.

Something like that would be pretty unique to 6 and 7 stars. Would really set him apart.

All jokes aside, I was surprised he didn't get buffed. Guess now we know for certain Sable and Negasonic won't get one.
