5. Symbiote Battles (Venom): Special phases involving the Venom symbiote's unique properties and its host.

Strategy:

• Exploit Weaknesses: Identify and target specific vulnerabilities, such as elemental weaknesses or reliance on certain powers.
• Coordinate Attacks: Work with teammates like Nova, White Tiger, Power Man, and Iron Fist to execute combined maneuvers.
• Adapt to Mimicry: Against foes like Taskmaster, change tactics frequently to prevent them from adapting.
• Utilize Gadgets and Suits: Employ specialized gear like the Iron Spider suit for enhanced offensive and defensive capabilities.
• Mind Games: Counter illusionists like Mysterio by staying calm and identifying the real threat.
• Containment: For powerful, uncontrollable threats like the Hulk, focus on containment rather than direct defeat.
• Symbiote Management: For Venom, focus on separating the symbiote from its host or using specific countermeasures.
