How to Play Venom in Marvel Rivals: 5 Key Tips

Focus on Disrupting the Enemy Backline: Venom excels at targeting squishy targets like Strategists and Duelists. Use your abilities to dive into the enemy backline and disrupt their positioning, forcing them to focus on you rather than your team.
Master Mobility with Venom Swing and Frenzied Arrival: Use Venom Swing to quickly close the distance and Frenzied Arrival to dive into fights from unexpected angles. These abilities allow you to surprise enemies and create chaos.
Manage Symbiotic Resilience Wisely: Save Symbiotic Resilience for when your health is low to maximize the bonus health gained. This helps you sustain yourself in prolonged fights or during escapes.
Optimize Feast of the Abyss Ultimate: Use Feast of the Abyss to deal massive damage and heal yourself. It's most effective against clustered enemies, especially tanks. Save it for key moments to turn the tide of battle.
Play Aggressively but Avoid Overextending: Dive into fights, deal damage, and then retreat to heal. Avoid staying too long in enemy territory, as Venom's role is to disrupt and create opportunities for his team rather than to tank indefinitely.
