Venom is really kicking my ass . What’s the best champ to use on him and how can we avoid the damage when we knock him down ?
Don't knock him down, is the best way to avoid the damage when you knock him down. 🙂 As for fighting him, Try using an XL champ. They have great spacing against him. XL champs have a much deeper evade then smaller champs. For example, if you attack him with a M champ, and try to bait a special by evading his basic attacks, he will follow through with multiple lighting fast light attacks after his dash. Because with smaller champs, even a deep evade will likely leave you in reach of his light attack (one of the fastest, longest reaching lights in the game). This leads to either getting clipped, or pushed back. You'll find yourself in the corner before long.
When you attack him with an XL champ (I used Venom himself for the Symbiote objective), when you are baiting his specials you can evade his dash attack deeply enough that you are out of range of his light attack. It will actually change his behavior. He will back off and give you space because he knows if he were to whiff you'll have frame advantage. You'll find it much easier to keep him on his side of the stage and even become more loose with his specials.

Take a look at Howard videos (not kidding). Probably the most straightforward approach.
Dr. Zola
Howard requires you to be good at Duck mashing. If you parry Venom and then do a heavy you'll stack armor breaks as you mash. If you do this well you can stack enough armor breaks that the set up and spike node will damage Venom instead of you. I think you need at least six debuffs for the damage to go to Venom instead of being reflected back at you. Which means you need to be able to consistently mash every heavy you use. If you can do that, the Duck is a good option. But if you aren't good at doing mash bonuses with Howard, this option probably doesn't work as well.
You also have to be on your Parry game, and at the moment that is iffy for a good chunk of the players.
Since you are reversing the point for doing the Week 4 boss, which I understand, can you also reverse the units or potions I spent beating him again please?
Why should they?
Because they had every opportunity to warn people an extra point would be revoked and didn’t? I dunno. I didn’t look at the timeline. I “earned” the extra point because I saved my mutant/villain kill once they announced the extension. I didn’t expect to keep the bonus but it’s yet another example of Kabam failing to get in front of a problem, just like the Bishop/map6 issue.

So you got the Villain/Mutant kill points now? So you spent items to get that? Then you'll keep those points.
The only point they are removing is the SINGLE point for beating Darkhawk IF you already beat him in the previous weeek. Not for the objectives, and not for a very first time defeat.
If you spent items to get the Villain/Mutant objectives done, then your items weren't wasted and you're not losing anything that you should have got.
Completed the objectives with a Venom and Sparky take down yesterday. With that out of the way.. time for some fun. This killed him from 55% and it was completely overkill too.
So we are going to give players an extra week to fight DarkHawk but not an extra week to do the other fights? Why not just leave all the content up and add the new weeks challenging champion each week? That way players have extra time to complete all the fights.
I honestly missed the Mysterio week. I thought I had it completed but that week I was so busy becoming ThroneBreaker and with real life stuff that I missed it. To be fair to all players it would be nice to have a shot and completing week 3 again. I’m sure there are some players that have missed a week as well.
When the content was first released I had my eyes set on just getting to milestone 7 so I could finally have a R3 6* champion. Then the update stating that Cav players could only reach milestone 6. Well I had accepted the fact I wasn’t going to get past milestone 6. Then RNG was on my side with some T5CC crystals and I now I have my eyes set on milestone 8 which will mean 2 more R3 6* champions not to mention a 6* class nexus selector.
Take a moment and think about the players that are Cavalier and become Throne Breaker mid way through the event. The way it’s set up they are SOL (**** outta luck) to get the juicy rewards but could potentially earn some account changing rewards if it wasn’t time gated.

Even if it were considered fair to do so, which I'm not sure I agree with. It wouldn't fit on the menu my friend. But yeah, it's not designed for players who were not even eligible to meet the minimum requirements when it began. It's designed for end game players. But it was decided to include Cavs as a nice gesture. If you missed an entire 7 day period, I don't think you can fault the game mode design for that, honestly. If it was so valuable to you, you would have remembered it was there.

Well, We have had a bug which has affected a large part of the player base when Darkhawk week came on, that is the reason Week 4 is being extended. There was not supposed to be an additional week. One of the challenges here is the time limit. If you don't have an ideal champ, you have 1 week to acquire, rank up and use said champ to defeat the Boss. If you have a good roster, you already will have the champ and only the fight will be the issue.
How exactly is it fair for people who ranked up, used items and completed the challenge within the week because that is what was said when the event started. This event was supposed to be for players who have completed everything. People who become TB midway through the event are not the target of the event at all. If you are cav, milestone 6 gives you the rewards to become TB, which is a very good reward in my opinion.

Not sure what there is to think about. Players who are not Thronebreaker when a Thronebreaker time limited event comes out will miss that event, just like players who become Cavalier after a time limited Cavalier event expires will miss that event, just like players who become Uncollected after a time limited Uncollected event expires will miss that event. Some content is permanent, like story arc content, and some is time limited, like monthly events and special events. You seem to be saying that time limited events are unfair to players who don't meet the requirements of the event until after the event is over. But that's the point to time limited events: to encourage players to progress and qualify for them, and to limit the amount of effort they can expend to complete them.
Keeping in mind that it is high-level content (or supposed to be so, cause week 4 and 5 pretty doable with multiple options (if we are not talking about objectives)), there is one question bothering me.
Will the 6* Nexus be 3-position or more-position? Cause next fights I am sure will be pain in the mess, and, honestly, very interesting will it be juicy choice, or, like always, "meh"-choice?

@ItsDamien have they confirmed this anywhere? I forced myself into becoming thronebreaker this week because the objectives were fairly doable. I plan on beating darkhawk AGAIN with magneto. Am i safe for the 2 extra points(from objectives) there to earn? Any confirmation possible? @Kabam Miike

The idea is you get one point for defeating a Summer of Pain boss, and one point per objective completed. Anyone getting more than one point for any of those things will have the extra point removed, but the first point earned for doing any of those things while the fight is still available is safe to earn and won't be taken back.
Kinda wild and super unfortunate that the only thing keeping Summoners like myself from extra Summer of Pain rewards is T5CC crystal luck.
I've defeated SoP fights per the Thronebreaker objectives - as I'm sure many Cav players have - and those earned rewards won't be seen due to T5CC rng. If we can defeat the GM and accomplish the Thronebreaker objectives for SoP, I really don't understand why we can't earn the bonus points for the event.
After a variant 6 100% push this weekend for the T5CC crystal, I'm feeling very defeated after pulling the wrong class.

1/6 chance to pull the “right” class.. or.. you’re just picky on your rank up?
Spending that T5CC on any champ and getting at least 1 selector back from the TB objectives/SoP rewards is a free R3.
Rather than complain about it, put in the work that everyone else who is TB has already completed to get there.

If we can defeat the GM and accomplish the Thronebreaker objectives for SoP, I really don't understand why we can't earn the bonus points for the event. Kinda pointless to do the objectives if you don't have TB title, that is the reason you are not getting the bonus points. I can complete an objective of SOP with my lvl 19 dummy account. It does not mean I deserve the SOP rewards.smh. After a variant 6 100% push this weekend for the T5CC crystal, I'm feeling very defeated after pulling the wrong class. What do you mean wrong class? Do you have only 1 6 star? There are lots of places T5cc is coming from now. Only thing required is the effort to complete those.

You need to stop listening to people telling you that luck is holding you back from becoming Thronebreaker. Luck is not holding you back. All Thronebreaker-caliber players have already made their first R3. If you haven't yet, you aren't, period.
TB was not targeted at players who could barely make one R3. That's not a Thronebreaker-caliber player. TB is targeted at players who have a) completed Act 6 and thus theoretically speaking were able to move on to Act 7 and b) is focused on taking 6* champs to high rank - r2 and r3 specifically. By definition you cannot be focused on doing R3 rank ups but unable to do R3 rank ups. If you're not doing them, you're not doing them.
Conceptually, the idea was for TB players to already be sitting on three or more R3 rank ups. Think about that for a while, while you ponder your "bad luck" forming one single tiny T5CC. The problem is, if you make the requirement three R3s, some TB players sitting on lots of T5CC waiting for better rank up options would have to burn them on suboptimal champs. As a compromise, the devs decided to make the requirement one single R3, on the assumption that while that requirement was a little low, at least all true Thronebreaker players would now have no excuses. No true Thronebreaker player could complain about needing just one single R3. If you couldn't even make one, no way were you among the top tier of players focused on R3 rank ups. That's just ridiculous.
The side effect, however, was a bunch of Cavalier players who thought having one single R3 was some magic ticket to TB, a magic ticket you needed luck to achieve. It is not. A Cavalier player could get lucky and become TB a little head of schedule, just like crystal luck has always sometimes allowed players to advance faster than normal. But the fact of the matter is, if you think you need luck to become Thronebreaker, you're not actually a Thronebreaker-caliber player yet. You're supposed to have a bunch of R3s, but they had to draw the line somewhere and the devs decided to cut the players a break and ensure that luck *did not* block a TB-caliber player from becoming TB. And it does not. It does allow some Cavalier players to sneak under the rope with really good luck, but it prevents bad luck from holding back any deserving player.

Man, u just put on the table uno-card, that also damage your position as well. TB players do not need luck to become TB, but Cavs with good luck became TB which influence their progression drastically, also as their skill.
As a former Cav player I can say for sure - luck DO MATTER. Cause I had (and basically still have) awful roster of 6* garbage, and for me luck did incredibly funny - formed almost three catalysts WITHOUT fully forming a single one completely. Only Nexus shards from Cav difficulty saved me from being pushed away from the content I CAN and I DO right now. Luck is not a point?

heh. sure.
If you've done all available content, you could form plenty of T5CC, both selected and randomly. If you weren't TB but had T5CC and "bad champs" then it isn't luck that's holding you back.

Where did I say luck doesn't matter. I said it does matter, specifically in the case of Cavalier players getting there faster with good luck. Where it doesn't matter is when people say bad luck holds them back. It does not for deserving players. What's a deserving player? It is a player who is doing what is necessary to have a very expansive 6* roster and earning enough catalysts to be consistently ranking up 6* champs to rank 2 and rank 3.
Are you someone that has and is continuing to grow a highly expansive 6* roster? The fact that you say your 6* roster is "awful" suggests not. Are you doing everything possible to acquire as much catalysts as possible for rank up, including T5C? It doesn't sound like you're doing that either. And yet you became Thronebreaker, exactly as I said was possible with good luck.
But if you were one of the players that Thronebreaker specifically targets, you wouldn't need luck. You'd have lots of R3 options, more than you could rank. You'd have lots of catalysts, more than enough to be ranking 6* champs continuously. The R3 requirement would be a tiny unnoticeable speed bump along your progression path. The fact that you think bad luck held you back, and then good luck fixed your problem, means you got there early.
Also, it doesn't matter what you think you can do. This isn't a juggling contest. This is a progression game. You progress by meeting the requirements for progress. Not when you think you deserve to.
