1* Venom's Strongest Color Green?

Maybe I'm crazy, but after the last update every 1* Venom I face has Green listed as his strongest color. I never noticed that before...or maybe it's new. Hopefully someone can clear this up!

    always has been if you look at his match colors (that I know of). that's an odd one since the strongest color of the other 2-ability characters are of active colors. that I know of anyway. one of jugs matching colors is black but his strongest is green. so, you can feel free to let the panther rage against venom and it doesn't benefit him at all. however, might not be doing much harm with blade by taking his strongest.

    Well I would agree...but before the patch I was using 4* Wolverine's Surgical Strike (and Venom was the only one alive since I always save him for last) and it never got rid of Green until today.

    Quite a few of the older characters have tile strengths in a different order from their cover colors. There's a list of them somewhere on the forum, but I'll be damned if I can find it.

    Check out Deadpool, Beast, Loki, Classic Magneto, and Daken of either rarity for more examples of this.

    I would hazard a guess that Venom's strongest match colour is set as green so that he'll trigger Pheromone Rage more often when paired with Daken...

    While that's a good reason for green to be one of his colors, it doesn't really factor into making it his strongest color.

    I'm pretty sure Daken didn't even exist in the game yet when Venom was released.

    1* Venom and 2* Daken were in the game at launch. They're both part of the prologue storyline.

    OK, I'm probably misremembering the launch of 3* Daken, then.

    That said, at launch the game had a lot of characters with only two powers, and many of them had color strengths that seemed surprising in comparison to later releases and usually still do.

    Heck, Venom's not the only one who had weird tile strengths at launch.

    2* Daken's original tile strengths were greentile.png / blacktile.png / purpletile.png. Again, no green ability.

    Grey Suit Black Widow had purpletile.png / bluetile.png / blacktile.png -- and her abilities were still greentile.png / redtile.png / purpletile.png !
