Tips and Tricks
PLAYSTYLE AND STRENGTHS
Mobility: His L-Shift (Venom Swing) lets him swing across the map, making it easy to dive into fights or escape when things get too hot.
Self-Healing: His E (Symbiotic Resilience) gives him bonus health based on how low his HP is, making him even harder to kill when he’s in trouble.
Crowd Control: His F (Frenzied Arrival) knocks enemies into the air, and his right-click (Cellular Corrosion) slows them down, setting up easy kills for your team.
Ultimate Power: His Q (Feast of the Abyss) lets him burrow underground and pop up to deal massive damage, while also healing himself based on the damage dealt.
Tanky and Durable: Venom has a huge health pool (650 HP) and can generate bonus health with his E (Symbiotic Resilience), making him super hard to take down.
WEAKNESSES
Skill-Dependent: His abilities require good timing and positioning, so he’s not the easiest hero to pick up and play.
No Team Protection: While he’s great at soaking up damage, Venom doesn’t have any abilities to directly protect his teammates.
Reliant on Cooldowns: If his L-Shift (Venom Swing) and E (Symbiotic Resilience) are on cooldown, Venom becomes an easy target for enemies.
Weak to Crowd Control: Venom can get stunned or slowed, which makes it hard for him to escape or use his abilities effectively.
Vulnerable to Focus Fire: If the enemy team focuses him down, even Venom’s tankiness won’t save him without proper support.
