    This one taxed my patience, my boosts and my ISO hoard.  Ended up finally winning on the 10 try after leveling my 5/3/5 to 190.  Unfortunately that now means that when I pull that progression cover in the next event I'm probably going to want to champ him.  Bummer all around.

    Not fun at all. These missions are beginning to be pointless.

    This was a pain, but I got lucky. 5/3/2 lvl 150, 2+ all, 2+ r/y, 50% damage boost. Good board with lots of yellow and green. 

    This really highlights just how much of a buff Venom needs.

    Um yeah... 9 tries until success. Had to go up to lvl 146 reluctantly, for the health. I actually don't hate Venom as much as most, but this sure was a major test. Finally got 14+ green, 18+ yellow (including color boosts), to take him out. 
    I think the recent changes to Carnage were mostly positive, however, perhaps requiring his passive to have a color threshold, as in requiring his team to hold 6 black for his attack tiles to begin, or some similar qualifier.

    Level 278. I used AP boosts to start with 2 yellow and green. Unfortunately, the board was yellow starved and I wasn't able to make many green matches either. I closed out the fight with a Lethal Protector and less than 300 health.
    Sounds like a very similar situation to mine, my champed Venom scraped past Carnage with very little health left at the end due to a poor board that helped Carnage far more than me.

    On my second try, I won. But whoa, what a battle. I think it should be challenging with a low-covered character, but it should be pretty easy with a championed character, as a reward for bothering to champion him or her. It's easy in most cases, but not always.

    This one is grody to the max.

    Don't you love how Venom increases your enemy's attack tiles?  Works great against Carnage!  Good thing too, because Carnage is so outclassed by Eddie.

    If you can't tell, that was extremely sarcastic.

    Venom is the most useless 4* character they created.....took me 3 attempts for my Lv 200 Venom set at 535  :(
