Venom is considered one of the most powerful and potent fruits in the game due to its passive abilities, overall damage, ease of use, and its versatility when it comes to farming or PvP due to its transformation which when activated, deals high damage to all enemies in the user's range. Although it has high mastery requirements, with 300 mastery being required to unlock the transformation, this fruit is decent in terms of grinding due to its [F] move.
The user starts with 50% of their "Fury Meter" bar filled upon spawning. The user's Fury Meter needs to be full to be able to transform. Fury is regained over time and drains while the user is transformed. Using moves while transformed also decreases the user's fury meter by various amounts. When transformed, the user gains a 50% defense buff with enhanced attacks.
Deadly Poison
Every NPC or player within the radius of certain attacks of Venom (X, C, and F explosion) will be inflicted with a poisonous miasma, which deals a hefty amount of damage. If caused by attack [X] or [C] (Transformed), the enemy's screen will turn dark purple and wobble.
Poison Puddles
The user can make poisonous puddles by certain attacks (Z, X and Transformed C). Upon standing on it, the puddles deal damage to enemies, but they will not be affected by miasma and will not be damaged if they walk out from the Puddles.
Venom Drop
While transformed, Air Jumping two or more times or going up to a good height and then falling to the ground will cause a small explosion and leave poison puddles. It is worth noting that the longer the user falls does not affect the spread of the puddles, similar to Buddha's awakened transform and Mammoth's Seismic Jump.
Poison Daggers
1 Mastery

-
The user fires a barrage of poisonous blades similar to Dragon C and Light X (unawakened) and launches them at the enemy with all landing simultaneously on the target. This leaves a puddle of Venom Miasma on the ground. Holding Z will make the user fire more blades.

The user gathers a large poison ball around their hands. After releasing the key, the user launches 3 bolts of venom at the same time, dealing damage and leaving 1 puddle that splits into 3 more puddles. People who get hit by this move will have their vision distorted for a short while (NOTE : This ability Has aim-assist/auto-aim).

Toxic Fog
200 Mastery

-
The user produces a deadly smoke, surrounding them completely until its duration ends. The smoke will continually damage the opponent (5-6 ticks) if they stay within the proximity of the Venom user. Interestingly, once the opponent is damaged by only one tick of this move, or damaged until the smoke ends, they will still take poison damage, meaning that this move inflicts EXTRA poison damage (3-4 ticks), which is pretty much similar to the X move.

Transformation
300 Mastery
+
-
The user gathers a large amount of venom and then transforms into a Three-Headed Dragon. This move consumes 20% of the Fury Meter. While transformed, Venom users take the form of a giant three-headed draconic monster, resembling a hydra. This move tremendously boosts damage for all of its attacks in the moveset, and massively increases poison damage (puddle). This move grants the user 50% defense against all attacks, and is immune to basic LMB attacks from NPCs (note that players could still hit the user with M1s). Transforming will drastically change the user's appearance. However, during transformed form, the user cannot use any other moves and attacks besides Venom's.

Serpent’s Wrath
50 Mastery

-
The user surrounds themselves with venom that resembles a long serpent before beginning to fly. The user's movement speed is quite slow in this form, but their speed increases as their health gets lower. Anyone who goes through the serpent will take continual poison damage. When the user stops holding the [F] key, it creates a small purple explosion, dealing AoE damage. Lasts for 40 seconds.

Serpent's Wrath
50 Mastery
+
-
The user surrounds themselves with venom that resembles a long serpent before taking to the sky. This time, the serpent is much larger, and moves much faster based on how much damage the user taken in total. 3 smaller dragon heads spin around the serpent. Once the user hits a target or stops pressing F, the serpent explodes, dealing damage and leaving a poison puddle if near the ground. The 3 heads will also be released, homing in on any nearby targets and dealing more damage. Unlike the untransformed version of this move, moving into the enemy while using this move does not affect them with the poisonous effect. Note: Only one target per head, if there’s only one enemy near, one head will target them, and the other two will despawn after they hit the ground. The homing heads will last for 10 seconds.

[F] Serpent's Wrath
1193 (Depends on how long the move is being held, maximum is 11930)
2148 (Depends on how long the move is being held, maximum is 21480)
Very versatile, fits/pairs almost every playstyle/weapons, and counters most fruits.
Extremely good for close-range battles in an enclosed space (just like in the source material) even compared to other fruits, as two of its moves work best in close proximity, and the poisonous puddles that deal damage over time are extremely powerful.
Works well on both air and ground combats.
Puddles of Poison passive can drain Instinct dodges, making the Instinct of enemies nearly useless against Venom.
Venom puddles stay on the ground for 10 seconds, giving enough time for the user's cooldowns to regenerate while keeping the enemy at bay.
Its high damage output with a lack of knockback makes it extremely useful for grinding, especially among the more expensive fruits in trading.
[Z] Poison Daggers
Decent Stun.
Decent range.
Relatively low cooldown.
[X] Noxious Shot
Auto-aims to the nearest enemy. (Must be pointing in the direction where the enemy is)
Good hitbox.
Causes enemy vision to be distorted.
[C] Toxic Fog
Puddles of Poison passive damage ability.
[V] Transformation
Fast transformation.
[F] Serpent’s Wrath
The lower the user's health is, the faster the flight speed is.
Strong move for grinding that is accessible to lower level players due to the low mastery (50).
Deadly Venom passive can last longer, unlike other moves. (7 ticks of damage)
Relatively low cooldown.
Pros (Transformed)
General
During Hydra form, the user cannot be hit by any basic LMB attacks from NPCs.
Transformation includes extremely boosted attacks plus 50% defense against attacks.
While transformed, the user's air jumps are greatly buffed. Similar to Buddha.
High range, roughly double that of the untransformed form.
[X] Noxious Shot
High damage.
Slightly stun.
Auto-aim.
Causes enemy vision to be distorted.
High range.
[C] Toxic Fog
Enormous AOE.
Extremely good for raids.
Causes enemy vision to be distorted.
[V] Transformation
TBA
[F] Serpent’s Wrath
Extremely useful for grinding because after the flight is used, the 3 homing heads rush towards the nearest enemies (each on a different enemy), allowing you to easily group up enemies and annihilate them.
Puddles of Poison passive can last longer, unlike other moves. (7 ticks of damage)
The three homing heads can also be used to counter runners.
All moves have limited range and are somewhat slow.
Fury meter charges passively, meaning it does not increase by dealing damage.
Poison effect from 3 moves do not stack, meaning, if a player get the X move poison effect while having F or C poison effect, the new effect will cancel the old one and vice versa.
[Z] Poison Daggers
1-3 blades have low damage.
Small hitbox.
[X] Noxious Shot
Bad range.
[C] Toxic Fog
Bad range.
Certain combos can prevent the user from taking damage, such as Z Godhuman. Or some combos can one-shot the user even with this effect.
[V] Transformation
Requires full Fury Meter in order to transform.
The user cannot use Fighting styles, Swords and Guns.
[F] Serpent’s Wrath
Can only fly for a certain period of time.
Having low health giving a speed boost isn't really that useful in some situations.
Cons (Transformed)
General
Speed and dash distance are nerfed in the transformed state.
Hard to see over the body model without instinct.
Bigger hitbox, making attacks easier to hit on the user while on this form.
[Z] Poison Daggers
Small hitbox.
[X] Noxious Shot
Mainly used for single target.
[C] Toxic Fog
The user's vision may be obscured without instinct.
Using Toxic Fog while transformed forces the skill to stay in one spot, allowing enemies to easily avoid it. (Although it has a big hitbox so most of the time it will hit an I-frame of 1 second)
Damage in PvP is unreliable.
[V] Transformation
TBA
[F] Serpent’s Wrath
Slow speed.
Grinding[]
Venom is a great fruit for grinding due to the AOE and the F move (Serpent's wrath).Blox Fruits
Usefulness: Even though this is an extremely hard fruit to obtain, obtaining it proves useful even early on. There are many low-level players who use Venom. This might seem counter-intuitive as Venom has high mastery moves and it can be a bit difficult to unlock most of them when first starting out. However, Venom is a lot like Magma, as it passively damages the opponent with toxic puddles and tick damage. The Z and F move both accomplish this, with the Z move making the ground poisoned and thus hurting the opponent if they step on it, and the F move making the opponents poisoned if flying near them. These moves also have a fast cooldown, so it is possible to spam these moves. The best part about these moves is how quickly the user can obtain them; the Z move is given as the first move, and the F move is the flight move, so it is natural to get it early, at 50 Mastery. (The user will most likely get the flight move in Pirate Village or Desert)
Grinding Technique without flight move: Find a generally small building, and get the NPCs crowded around the building. Then, once you have the NPCs gathered, use the Z move, and make sure the venom that falls to the ground is touching the building. The NPCs should walk toward you, and they take passive damage from the venom. Repeat this process until all NPCs are dead. Note that this only works if there is a small building around the area, it wouldn't work with something like Ice Castle.
Grinding Technique with flight move: Get a crowd of NPCs near. After that, double jump (if you have Air Jump, then jump as high as you like), and then, while using the flight move, fly down to the NPCs. They cannot hurt you if you are in the flight state until you let go of the F button. They should now be poisoned but will be cured of their poison if you do not poison them again after a couple of seconds. Keep flying around them until some of them die. If you let go of the F button, the serpent that you are flying as will explode and do some more damage to the remaining NPCs. Repeat until all NPCs are dead. If you want to do more passive damage, use the Z move on the NPCs before using the mentioned method of grinding. Instead of charging straight at the enemy, you can hold the move and fly around them instead. Doing this will deal gigantic damage to the enemy and can reach up to 50k. Use C move for some extra damage.
Trivia[]
Venom transformation model made by Mary (on X is @Marubravery).
Venom shares similarities with Magma, as both have abilities that create puddles that cause damage over time. Their damage stacks as well, making them deal incredible amounts of damage.
When transformed, the user is "immune" to all environment lava puddles, such as those found in Raids or on the island Hot and Cold (this is because the hitbox when transforming is above the lava, preventing the user from taking damage). The user, however, can be harmed by the lava puddles by being dragged down by an ability such as Flame's awakened V.
There was a glitch when if the user transforms and immediately sit on a chair, the multi-headed dragon's walking, jumping and idle animation is replaced with the T-Pose that appears 1 second before the animations load in. Doing this does not drain the user's Fury Meter and jumping will make them Air Jump instead. After pressing V again, the game still believes the player are sitting, and does not allow them to jump but they will be able to move. To be able to jump again, the player need to reset, get killed, or leave the game. This glitch has been patched.
Rabbit's speed stacks with Venom's transformation.
It is recommended to use Ghoul V3, Shark V2/3, or Human V3, Ghoul V3 reduces cooldown even more for Venom, Shark takes no damage in water and Human buffs the damage.
Venom has one of the second largest AoE in the game, which is Toxic Fog when transformed. (The first being Awakened Quake V).
In Toxic Fog with transformation, sometimes it only does 1 cycle of poison damage. This could be a bug or something.
Despite Venom having a transformation, it is not a Beast fruit.
Venom is counter to Dough V2 as it interrupts the barrage preventing the user from getting killed in one dough combo and preventing dough users from holding Dough X to increase its hitbox. Although using T-Rex would be more effective.
Just like Dragon and T-Rex, its Fury Meter needs 1 minute and 30 seconds to fully recharge.
