How to Play Venom in Marvel Rivals

As a tank hero in Marvel Rivals, Venom boasts impressive health and regeneration abilities. However, reckless charging into battle can lead to premature defeat. Instead, your main focus should be on distracting and disrupting enemy damage dealers and healers, thus paving the way for your Duelists to secure eliminations.

Utilizing Venom’s ability to swing and traverse walls across maps allows for effective retreat and regrouping when health is low. His ‘F’ ability is particularly advantageous for penetrating contested zones, enabling you to crash into enemies, apply Cellular Corrosion, and unleash a flurry of melee strikes.

While repositioning or falling back, it’s critical to coordinate with a healer to sustain your presence in battle. This strategy allows you to maintain pressure on the enemy with Venom’s devastating tentacle attacks. When your ultimate ability is available, take a moment to recover before burrowing underground to ambush high-priority targets like enemy damage dealers or healers.

Although mastering Venom may require some time, the reward is a powerful character capable of wreaking havoc and significantly disrupting enemy strategies.
