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 spoke too soon. The game team is looking into changes for this fight. I don't have more information than that just yet, but we are hoping to get something out by the end of the day on Friday, or Early next week. Stay tuned!

So cause they messed up we have to wait 2 days for a fix? You are going to compensate players for this are you not?

i have to say i see mike more of a human from this thread rather than a kabam-hired robot who occasionally sends memes

magnus_xix

Highly doubt it. They didn't give compensation out when they removed the what's yours is mine node from a lane in V6 and they won't do it now.

Dr. Crab

I don't know why but this last path was the most unhappy I have ever been with this game, more than do you bleed rogue, more than ice Phoenix or tech adaptoid etc. I'm so indigent as a consumer. I've been through it all and honestly that last map entirely just really pissed me off. Life transfer with freakin pressure gauge and magic...and that's just what you have to do to get to venompool which is just on another level. I was really looking forward to that 15th terrible 6 star feature pull but I guess that **** pull will have to wait. Man, terrible terrible content. Oh, and this week's side event, like what is this, and for these 2018 rewards, garbage time in this great games history.

StevieManWonder

This one really does deserve compensation though

Gamer

Or better yet Kabam take the quset down see how many play it before fix I’m didn’t play it because one knew there’s be somting to be break it Kabam standards so far no regret to not play it but yes needs compensation for those who played it not everyone.

What’s happening here? I haven’t had the chance to get on but I thought they said Variants are no longer end game content but from what I’m reading it looks like it is however with variants reward. Or is it just that one fight. Well, I’m about to go on and see what’s happening.

KingInBlack

The fact they are hoping for a fix by the end of Friday or early next week is a bit irritating. Just remove the regen node for a quick fix. People wait for content to come out and for it to drop as is mid week and be left that way is a bad look.

Can somebody try out warlock with mister fantastic debuffs , his heal block is passive and cannot be shrugged of

Wiredawg1

I highly doubt it will work cause it drop fast with amount of buffs venompool gets @goingtobeuncollected

TheLegend27

What about the variant in general? There's no benefit to using mercenary champs. There's only a punishment for using non-mercenary champs. Punitive requirements like that have never been good game design IMO. Is the team also looking into the variant in general or just this one fight?

GOTG

man, it is so ridiculous, the first 2 bosses fight are all bugged, first one is unkillable even the shield down the second one use sp3 immediately. Have to back down, dont want to use items for this bs.

Realm_Of_Rah

Haven't started the variant but this seems like a nightmare lol.

Doesn't help I don't have any single of the champions needed at a Rank5 5* level. I feel like there should be a tweak, 50% attack reduction like the tech variant juxtaposed to the 95% it is currently maybe?

goingtobeuncollected

I'm sorry I didn't think about that maybe peni or Mysterio ?

Nalak8

I’m not touching this with a 6-foot pole.

Ironman3000

I'd rather they just released it next Wed and not have it be a bugged mess.

What's the compensation package for the bugged bosses looking like?

ExHavok

I completed first 5 map, skipped Venompool cause I don't wanna lose my temper and throw all resources into this. Difficulty is too much considering the rewards. I don't remember any fight in pre-nerf Act 6 as hard as this Venompool clown. ( maybe Acid Wash Mysterio in 6.3, don't know ). And they called this a " not endgame content ". I have a news for you Mr. Thrillson, it actually is.

Bugmat78

Well glad to hear a fix is coming. I've finished the first 5 quests also but will wait for the fix before engaging in any virtual hari kari.

H3t3r

Is it not as simple as just removing the 1% regen?

RCunha

Some units wasted, a few revives and potions used, all good, ok nice Variant despite the small amount of champs usable, untill reaching Venompool... and its game over... damn thats a dumb fight..

Cain

@Kabam Miike sorry if this has been mentioned but I think perhaps his regen is buffed by the global node affecting the pool of Pools

Zeronaut81

1. He regenerates 1% health per second, and you can’t reverse it effectively. Even using HT nova flames doesn’t work, due to (I’m assuming) the non-merc damage reduction. If you remove it the buff with Om Nom, the regen procs again within 5 seconds.

2. The snack node degens 10% of VP’s max health over 6 seconds IF you place 10 debuffs on him before the 30 second timer expires. His regen outpaces the degen, and he’ll fully regenerate before that next degen period comes around. If you don’t place 10 debuffs, he regenerates another 10% health.

3. His regen rate is 4379hp/second. He’s immune to debuffs, so you can’t lower his regen rate, apply any DoT effects, etc. If you don’t apply 10 debuffs over 30 seconds, he regens an additional 1465hp/sec. That’s 5844hp/sec.

4. VP has crazy power gain nodes (Energize for a +50% combat rate, Improved power gain for additional 200% from all sources) so you have to play cautiously. You have to bait out specials, so it’s hard to place 10 debuffs. The AI is content to sit back and heal 5844 hp/sec all day. There are no mercenaries outside of nebula or WS that can control power, and nebula’s power control is tied to shock debuffs while WS’s is unreliable. Don’t forget that VP gets a power gain buff if his sp2 is interrupted, and he has his own energize buff that grants him additional power gain.

5. With a limited pool of champs that don’t suffer a 95% damage reduction, can’t rely on DoT effects, can’t remove buffs, can’t power control, and have to play cautiously due to increased power gains, which champs are actual options to outdamage 5844 HP/second? Especially with a cautious AI that won’t throw specials?

Could you please put in the word that the rank-up gems should be at least pushed up to 2018?

We're closing in 2022, and we are still stuck with 2017 gems.

GinjabredMonsta

Or remove the year restriction in general

WillieB

At least the rewards make the struggle worth it! LOL!

Mobile_P0tat0

The VP boss would be cool in SoP style of content, but he's out of place for variant level content.

The_Sentry06

Atleast Miike is communicating well so that's something...
