How good is Venomage?
Venomage is an Epic magic champion from the Lizardmen faction, we know her as an amazing poisoner for overall game play, but how good is she, really?
The answer is quite simple: she is amazing, poisons, poison activation, decrease defence, decrease attack and a passive that reduces the damage from enemies by 15% when heal reduction is in place. Even though her A1 and A2 have a conditional attached to them, she herself can activate the conditions, most champions that have a condition need to be achieved with another champion, which she doesn’t need and that’s a plus.
Abilities:
A1 – Toxicity
Attacks 1 enemy 2 times. Decreases the targets MAX HP by 75% of the damage inflicted if they are under [Heal Reduction] debuff.
Each hit has a 35% chance of activating up to two Poison debuffs on the target.
A2 – Neurotoxin – 4 Turn Cooldown
Attacks 1 enemy. Has a 75% chance of placing a 60% [Decrease DEF] debuff for 2 turns. Also has a 75% chance of placing a 50% [Decrease ATK] debuff for 2 turns if the target is under a [Poison] debuff.
A3 – Fleshmelter Venom – 4 Turn Cooldown
Attacks all enemies. Has a 75% chance of placing a 100% [Heal Reduction] debuff for 3 turns. Also has a 75% chance of placing two 5% [Poison] debuffs for 2 turns.
Passive – Pain Writhe
Enemies under [Heal Reduction] debuffs inflict 15% less damage.
Why is Venomage so good?
Venomage’s abilities scream Clan Boss, Poisons, Decrease Defence, Decrease Attack and damage reduction. Her only problem is that heal reduction is wasted on the clan boss. However, the payoff of the reduced damage is worth the slot. Heal reduction works well against teams that have a lot of healers in it, for example in some doom tower floors and Heal reduction is also needed for the spirit potion stopping the boss from healing, the Dragon Dungeon is another area of the game where she can be used to great affect as poisons are the best way to kill that annoying dragon and the passive will reduce the damage taken from his main skill scorch!
In the video below DWJ shows just how effective she is for clan boss, with her dealing the most damage bar the clan boss god of poisons dracomorph, build her as tanky as you can get with the right amount of accuracy and speed and you will see your damage potential go up and up and you will also see yourself lasting longer because of that passive.
Lead with the A3 to get the heal reduction on the demon lord and you will be all set.
