A question to the Venom the duck fans/ players

I took my 4* VTD to variant 2.0 and there is no doubt that this guy can clear the entire content of the map but how good is the 5* version in other pieces of content in the game namely Act 6 or variant 1.0 or AQ .

I have played him for the very 1st time in variant and even ranked him up only 5 min prior to my 1st fight in 3.3 . If he is that good why don't people use him in AQ map 6 or higher ?

Can someone experienced with VTD gameplay explain this ?

Thanks in advance

    I solo AQ with VtD, and he's great for Late/Endgame Content with Lots of Fights. Those first 1 or 2 fights will be pretty average but after he's built up a little you can Destroy near everything, I'd suggest bring Venom for the Synergy that starts VtD with 40 Aberration Charge at the start of every fight.

    Also VtD is a Beast in Varient 2, I just completed Chapters 1 and 2 using him for almost every fight.

    Did he handle the poison and starburst lanes??

    Does this include act 6 as well ?
    I don’t use my maxed out 5* vtd much in act 6. But that’s mostly because my roster is deep and I can bring more viable counters per lane or bosses. But he could easily be a force to reckon with in act 6. At least to clear a majority of lanes up and use someone else on the bosses.

    My biggest piece of advice for Venom the Duck is to scout your lane and plan what fights you want to use them on ahead of time, as well as what Buffs you are aiming for. I usually try to plan what Buffs I aim for based on the boss or some of the later fights in the lane. I try to find some easier fights early on in the map to get the time to get to the Buffs I want. Some early Regeneration Buffs can help keep him topped up throughout the quest, but if the Boss fight has Heal Block mechanics, I may save up fewer Regens than normal to make room for other Buffs. Again, scouting out the lane beforehand and planning out what Buffs you want and who you want fighting each fight can be a big help with him, and the game in general.

    VtD can be good, but he doesn’t really bring any particularly good utility. Looking at all the new buffs that have come out, VtD doesn’t counter them very well except buffed up. He also suffers on a number of nodes, such as buffet, pilfer, fisticuffs, and tranquility. Most other top tier champs, and even cosmics, have buffs but have some utility that makes them useful for end game content. Medusa gains fury buffs and can shut down robots like Ultron and Sentinel. Corvus hits hard too but has immunities and can gain true strike with synergy. Cull is a recently released champ who also hits hard but also has true accuracy. VtD just doesn’t really bring anything to the table another champ can’t do and then some, especially if one has a deep roster.

    I got lucky and got a Regen Buff right away that I doubled, that kept me going on the Starburst Path.

    He's mainly a Burst Damage Champion, ideally ends fights before the Enemy can activate their various Abilities. Also his Bleed being swapped for Passive Degen when the Enemy is Bleed Immune can be considered Utility.

    Best regen champ the overlords have released since Ghostrider. Check my profile for a 5/65 sig 200.
