  • Lizardmen

Venomage is a Magic Epic Support champion from the Lizardmen built around a tightly connected Poison, Heal Reduction, debuff, and mitigation loop. Fleshmelter Venom is the core setup skill: on a 4-turn base / 3-turn booked cooldown it attacks all enemies, can place 100% Heal Reduction for 3 turns, and can place two separate 5% Poisons for 2 turns; both listed placement chances rise from 75% to 100% when booked. Heal Reduction then does double duty by enabling Pain Writhe, which causes enemies under the debuff to inflict 15% less damage, and by enabling Toxicity's MAX HP destruction. Neurotoxin

Best used in: Demon Lord · Dragon · Faction Wars · Fire Knight · Iron Twins · Doom Tower Floors
