—Agent Venom[src]

**Agent Venom** is a Skill Champion. Being a Skill Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Science Champions, but is weak to Mutant Champions.

## Bio

Eugene "Flash" Thompson, long-time fan of Spider-Man and friend of Peter Parker, thought his career was over after losing his legs fighting in the Iraq War. Desperate for another opportunity to help others, Flash enrolled in Project Rebirth and soon found himself bound to the alien Symbiote Venom. Now possessing many of the same powers as his wall-crawling hero, Flash covertly works for the U.S. government as the deadly Agent Venom.

## Mechanics

Agent Venom is a skilled symbiote carrier who has a chance to shrug off any Debuff and Bleed the opponent places on him when he launches his Special Attacks. Flash Thompson uses his government training along with the Venom symbiote to counter Evade chance, proving a worthy opponent to Spider-Verse Champions.

## Abilities

**Passive**

* Flash's intense military background, coupled with the alien symbiotic enhancement, grants him a 70% chance to shrug off any Debuff.
* The Venom Symbiote works with Flash's training to reduce enemy Evasion chance by 50%.

*Dev Notes: Agent Venom’s high chance to Purify Debuffs can be useful in Debuff Heavy matchups.*

**Special Attacks**

* 65% chance to inflict Bleed, dealing *X* direct damage over 4 seconds.

*Dev Notes: Agent Venom has a synergy with Symbiote Supreme that extends the duration of Bleed Debuffs by 20%. He also has a synergy with Goldpool that increases Bleed Debuff Damage by 15%. Pair Agent Venom with these two Champions to get the most out of his Bleed Debuffs.*

## Signature Ability

**Klyntar Rage** - Passive

* At the beginning of the fight, and whenever Flash loses 50% of his Max Health, he temporarily loses control of the Venom symbiote, increasing Attack by *X*. This effect is lost once he is struck 5 times.

* While under Klyntar Rage, Flash also gains *X* Critical Damage Rating.

## Special Attacks

**Special 1 - Suppressive Fire**

*Two acrobatic strikes, followed by a punishing barrage from Agent Venom's twin SMGs. Dodge this!*

* This attack reduces enemy Evasion chance by 30%.

*Dev Notes: Pair this Evasion Chance Reduction with the Passive Evade Chance Reduction in his abilities and you now are reducing the chance by 80% during this Special Attack. This is also the best Special Attack for damage, since all his Special Attacks have a chance to Bleed the opponent for the same duration and potency. You get the highest chance for the Bleed Debuff per bar of power.*

**Special 2 - Thermite Breach**

*Thermite, one of the US's most devastating grenades, thrown by a Symbiotic appendage at extreme velocity.*

* This attack incinerates the enemy, dealing *X* Energy Damage over 8.5 seconds. This effect also removes Perfect Block Chance and reduces Block Proficiency by 50% while it's active.

*Dev Notes: This Special Attack inflicts the Opponent with an Incinerate Debuff lasting 8.5 seconds. You can use this for nodes that require an Incinerate effect.*

**Special 3 - Shock & Awe**

*With two well-placed webshots, Flash keeps his target still while he unfolds six clips into them.*

* Any Bleed effect has an additional 25% chance to trigger.

*Dev Notes: This Special has a 90% chance to inflict a Bleed Debuff on the opponent.*

## Strengths and Weaknesses

### Strengths

* **Debuff Purification**

* **Damage Over Time Variety**

* **Evade Chance Reduction**
	+ Agent Venom reduces Evade chance passively at all times, but also reduces the chance during his Special Attack 1.
