Is Red Goblin good?
Red Goblin combos into Special Attacks off different Basic Attacks to build Buffs, then dumps Carnage Bombs that convert those Buffs into Debuffs on the opponent, getting even stronger once Frenzy kicks in near the opponent's death. Each Fury Buff adds an Armor Break to his Carnage Bombs, he gets a long True Sense after a Special 3 or a health-threshold drop that blocks Miss and Auto-Block, and Spider-Verse champions are especially vulnerable to him.
Nullify and Purify are his real problems since his whole kit runs on keeping Buffs up long enough to convert into Debuffs, and Regeneration that pushes the opponent back above the Frenzy threshold removes it entirely.
Strengths
- Each Fury Buff adds an Armor Break to his Carnage Bombs
- Long True Sense after a Special 3 or health-threshold drop blocks Miss and Auto-Block
- Spider-Verse champions have no Passive Evade against him and give bonus Bloodlust when defeated
Weaknesses
- Nullify strips the Buffs his whole kit depends on
- Purify or reduced Debuff duration costs him a lot of damage and utility once his Debuffs are stacked
- Opponent healing above the Frenzy threshold removes his Frenzy
