Venom Marvel Champions Review - Hero Spotlight 

What are your thoughts on the Space Knight- Agent Venom?

Love that you’re doing stuff outside the current release schedule. Enjoying your takes on older heroes - gives me an excuse to do a deep dive on slightly older content. And a good reminder to all of us to play the stuff we’ve got - there’s so much content for this game!

Great video! Venom is one of my favorites. Love him in blue with welcome aboard and blaze of glory.

Your videos are amazing! I'm watching them all during this difficult days (my father died 3 weeks ago). Agent Venom is one of my favorite heroes from Marvel Champions. I played him a lot with Aggression and Justice. This last aspect is my choice for him, because Leadership is my least favorite aspect in the game 😅

Great video! Looking forward to hearing your analysis on Gamora. She seems incredibly flexible to me. I also need to go back and watch a lot of the heroes you've already done.

Picked him up recently, and loved him just from his precon.I can only imagine once I start tweaking or even changing aspects. Loving this series(late to tne party I know 😅)

one of my favorites , i always use him with justice aspect , i finished the mad titan’s campaign with him

I just really enjoy Venom's confuse lock build with Concussive Blow, Scare Tactic, Sonic Rifle, Swift Retribution and Think Fast and there are very few other heroes that can make good use of a lot of those cards which is another reason why I like playing him in justice. This way I was able to give aggression, leadership and protection cards to black widow, wolverine, cyclops, iron man, spiderman and black panther. All that being said, Stalwart villains are really bad for the confuse lock deck lol.

I feel like venom is a good hero to have in your line up for when you are playing with friends or new players.. if people have picked most of your favorites or "the good" aspects you can just pick up venom. Having said that, when you have symbiote suit in play the additional encounter or booster card only gets given to the player who owns the suit right? It's interesting to see that protection is considered one of the lower ranked aspects for him as nearer to when he came out, lots of people said it was either protection or aggression but that might have been before the "take" is different from deal damage rule clarification. I currently do not have the cards that make him shine in aggression like Jarnborn or many of the guardian weapons so I seem to do ok in Justice with the build or in protection.. leadership idk when I play 2 handed solo the leadership aspect always benefits the other hero I'm playing as opposed to "lets not lose" vs "lets see what happens"

Venom is one of my least favourite heroes. Everything just lines up too well with no risk and tons of reward. He is a bit like Captain America in that he fill any role better than most characters can fill one. His guns are the solution to every problem. His Spider-Sense is basically The Sorcerer Supreme. He can stun, he can confuse, he's rich in resources. High health, high healing, great defensive card... It's just too much for my liking. You have to push the difficulty of scenarios high to make things a challenge, but super high difficulty tends to be very swingy and unenjoyable in my experience. I'd much rather play a weaker character against an easier challenge where the overall difficulty remains the same but the experience is better. For me, he's a top 5 character in terms of power. The aspects are tough to rank in multiplayer, easier in solo, but as is almost always the case: Leadership is Leadership. For solo only, I would put Justice second, Aggression third, and then Protection. To me, solo Justice builds are there to shore up threat removal. And, once that's sufficiently covered, you don't have to build any more thwarting in. Instead, you add ridiculous card draw and Turn the Tide's hyper- efficient damage. With confuses, you can always heal and Project Rebirth. With crazy threat removal, you don't lose to the main scheme. And Venom's damage is so high that he can chew through minions and the villain with ease. He doesn't really know how to lose in any aspect, but threat removal is harder to come by in general and card draw is so good that I rate Justice second. Aggression and Protection are very close. In either case, most of the above paragraph still applies. Venom just wins. Protection makes him even more invincible, Aggression chews through minions and has Psylocke shenanigans. With that said, as grumpy as Venom makes me, this was a great video! Excited to see the Gamora spotlight. She's super fun.

I've just watched your game vs Ebony Maw expert. In your build you didn't play welcome aboard . Now do you think that it will be a good card to include in this deck ?

Nelson: "When in doubt, always love Protection!" But, this hero is terrible with Protection. Wouldn't they be better in Aggression? Nelson: "No. Everyone has to play Protection!"

Venom is a fun hero
