Is Anti-Venom good?
Anti-Venom counters Mystic unblockable attacks and can flip an opponent's healing into damage through Heal Inverse, backed by general utility in his kit. Pairing Despair with Spectre and Petrify makes it easy to reverse enemy healing outright, and since he loads the opponent with debuffs, the Inequity mastery gets a lot of value on him too.
He's vulnerable to Clean and Purify effects along with combo control.
Strengths
- Counters Mystic unblockable attacks
- Can reverse opponent healing through Heal Inverse

Profile
Anti-Venom's full name is Eddie Brock. Anti-Venom is a male Human (symbiote host).
Background
Eddie Brock, now separated from the Venom Symbiote, had his cancer cured by Martin Li, the alter ego of the Supervillain Mister Negative.
Unbeknownst to Li, his healing powers fused with the remnants of the Symbiote in Eddie’s body and created a new mindless Symbiote now known as Anti-Venom.
Although Anti-Venom was released on October 14th, a 3-star version was gifted, together with Summoned Symbiote, on October 6th to every player who had completed the Solo Objectives from September.

Skills
7Defensive Power Gain
PassiveImmunity to Incinerate and Poison. During the Opponent’s Special Attacks Anti-Venom gains 40% Defensive Combat Rate per Debuff on the Opponent. Personal Passives are paused during Specials. Dev Notes: Anti-Venom can gain quite a bit of Power when blocking or receiving attacks, and thanks to his Signature Ability, he can do so while not losing too much health.
Genetic Memory
PassiveWhen the fight starts Anti-Venom inflicts an indefinite Klyntar Debuff. If this Debuff is removed by any means it comes back after 15 second(s). If the Opponent is suffering from the Klyntar Debuff, every 10 times either Champion lands a hit, Anti-Venom inflicts the selected Genetic Memory Debuff from the list below. Max Genetic Memory Debuffs 4. Spectre Debuff: Reduces the Opponent’s Regeneration Rate by 16.66% Disorient: Reduces Defensive Ability Accuracy and Block Proficiency by 12.5%. Decelerate: Lowers Evade and Unstoppable Ability Accuracy by -33% flat. Second Medium Attack changes the selected Genetic Memory Debuff to the next Debuff in the list. Defenders have a 50% chance to change the selection when inflicting a Genetic Memory Debuff. Dev Notes: A key aspect of playing with Anti-Venom is knowing which Debuffs to stack first against certain Champions.
Klyntar Debuff
PassiveKlyntar Debuff reduces Physical Resistance by 687.5 and gains additional properties based on Anti-Venom’s Opponent. #Spider-Verse Heroes: Reduce the Ability Accuracy of Evade effects by 100%. Mystic Champions: Reduce the Ability Accuracy of Unblockable by -65% flat. While 4 or more of Anti-Venom's personal Debuffs are active, this reduction becomes -100%. Dev Notes: This Debuff coupled with Decelerate is able to completely counter Mystic Champions that make use of Unblockable and Unstoppable. Inflict a Stagger Debuff for 10 second(s). Max 2 Stacks.

Controlled Symbiosis
signature abilityWhile the Opponent is suffering from the Klyntar Debuff, if Anti-Venom is struck by or Blocks a non-Critical Hit, he gains a Passive Regeneration stack that recovers of the hit damage taken over X seconds. These Regenerations are removed if the Klyntar Debuff is removed by Purify or Cleanse. Each time Anti-Venom inflicts a personal Debuff, he inflicts an indefinite 2.5% Exacerbate Passive. Max stacks: 10. Each personal Exacerbate Passive increases the potency of Anti-Venom's personal Debuffs by an additional 2.5%. Dev Notes: At 50 hits in the Combo Meter and with the Accelerated Mutation Passive active, Anti-Venom only needs one application of each Debuff to get most of its utility, since Accelerated Mutation inflicts 2 Debuffs each with 50% increased potency, which is the equivalent of 3 Debuffs at normal potency.
Special 1 - Constituent Hammer
special attackMorphing his arm into a hammer of constituent-matter, Anti-Venom bashes the head of his Opponent. If not already active, gain an Accelerated Mutation Passive, causing Anti-Venom to inflict an additional Genetic Memory Debuff for 15 second(s). Triggering Accelerated Mutation also refreshes the Evolved Mutation Passive. If Accelerated Mutation is active, all hits deal a burst of 3832.8 Physical damage. First hit inflicts a Petrify Debuff of 40% Potency for 20 second(s). Dev Notes: A very important aspect of his kit is being able to use Special 1 to refresh Evolved Mutation Passive from Special 3. If you can keep this Passive refreshed, Anti-Venom damage increases by a lot.

Special 2 - Constituent Spear
special attackAnti-Venom pulls a tendril from his body and throws it into the Opponent like a spear. On activation, gain a 7186.5 Fury Passive for 25 seconds for each Generic Memory Debuff on the Opponent, then consume all but the two most recent Genetic Memory Debuffs. Dev Notes: Timing the use of Special 2 can make a huge difference when it comes to his loop. You need to be able to time the activation in such a way that would allow Anti-Venom to loop back to Special 1 so he can refresh the Evolved Mutation Passive.
At tier 7
Special 3 - Purge
special attackAnti-Venom purges the life out of his Opponent's body. Inflict a Rupture Debuff, dealing 6707.4 Physical Damage over 15 second(s). Gain a non-stacking Evolved Mutation Passive, increasing the max number of Genetic Memory Debuffs by 4 and increasing Fury potency and duration by 25% for 25 second(s). The max stack for an individual Debuff is 4. Dev Notes: In longer fights Special 3 plays a key role in his loop. It allows Anti-Venom to inflict more Debuffs and consequently gain more stacks of Fury.
