Venture's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Forceful engage via Burrow
.Venture is invulnerable while burrowed in Burrow
, so by advancing all the way to the center of the enemy formation and then bursting out, they can greatly support their team's engage.Burst damage via combos.
The burst damage from combos like Burrow
→ primary fire → Drill Dash, or primary fire → Drill Dash → primary fire → melee, is very high.Wide range of their primary fire.
Venture's primary fire, like Sigma's, explodes after traveling a set distance, so when fighting around walls they can attack by landing the blast, hitting from an angle the enemy can't attack from. Also, since it's a single-shot attack, it's easy to perform peek-shooting motions.
How to Counter
Use heroes that can fly into the air.
By dodging into the air the moment Burrow
comes in, you can avoid Venture's combo. Venture's primary fire also has short range, so it's hard for them to apply pressure on airborne heroes.Use heroes with crowd control (CC) abilities.
By disrupting Venture as they emerge from Burrow
with Mizuki's Mizuki:E or Ana's Sleep
, Venture is then left unable to do anything. If you can land it, using Burrow as an attack becomes a risk for Venture.
