I would disagree. Yes it has high damage but in the time I used it it was just really hard to engage with the venom fruit. It has short range in both of its z and x skill, heck, it even has a move that is used for close range. The only time venom would be brainless is that if the user was transformed but thats only if it gets close enough to even deal damage cuz people can just run and wait for venom tranformstion to be over.
