Vanguard

Disrupter

Venom functions as a dive Vanguard built around swing engages, bonus-health cycling, and backline disruption. His value comes from forcing attention, slowing enemies with Cellular Corrosion, knocking teams up with Frenzied Arrival, and using Feast of the Abyss to survive or finish clustered targets. He fits dive comps that want a durable disruptor.

Venom Swing gives long engage and disengage routes
Frenzied Arrival adds AoE disruption, knock-up pressure, and backline entry
Cellular Corrosion slows enemies and punishes targets that cannot escape its tether range
Feast of the Abyss gives strong survivability, anti-heal pressure, and current-health damage
Strong at forcing support cooldowns before the full dive lands
Wall crawl and wall sprint create creative map routes
Low ultimate cost gives frequent disruption windows
