Is Venom the Duck good?
Venom the Duck is built for long quests, picking up multiple Regeneration Buffs along the way that Recovery makes even more valuable, and he does well in Blind Fights. Both his Bleed and Degeneration effects need Critical Hits to trigger, so Precision is worth investing in to keep them coming.
Short fights don't give him enough time to get that sustain and Debuff engine running, which puts him at B.
Strengths
- Picks up multiple Regeneration Buffs across a long quest
- Does well in Blind Fights

Background
An abject abomination crafted from the chaotic energy of the Contest itself and given shape by the monstrosity calling itself the Symbiote Supreme, Venom the Duck shapes its symbiotic mass to strengthen itself and tear its foes apart.
Driven by Venom’s bloodlust and controlled by Howard’s intellect and cunning, this aberration of the Contest is a force to be reckoned with.
