@Chromium7 I was already aware that there was a character out there called "Nightwing"... (who hasn't heard of a dark character called Shade [Vamprina's brother, plus Vamprina's name has also been used before...]?) ... I just chose the name I believed fit my character's personality or talents (Or I'd just make one up just because I could!!!) XD.

@Chai Matthew That quote about OP-ness was referring to Spune Swiftwing, one of my older wRHGs. Thanks anyway though! I accept your challenge. We'll discuss it more through PM. I'm looking forward to this fight!

Alright, so since you asked us to have away at Venox and Nightwing, here it is :

Honestly, I'm really surprised as to what you did with Venox. He seems quite balanced, so that's cool, though I miss him actually having lots of powers but being hesitant because of fear :). To be honest, hesitation and easy fear are great weaknesses to compensate for great strength, if you feel like doing that though..

Concerning Nightwing, however, I've found some more issues. While on his own he'd be a formidable opponent, it's crucial to remember that he's not alone and has Venox to back him up. This is where the issues come in, as both seem to boost each others' strengths, and compensate for each others' weaknesses. Add to that that Nightwing is quite strong too, and you get a very powerful combination... Too powerful, perhaps.

My main issue is with the fact that the darkness, and every related ability, take out every sensory ability. You take away their vision, okay you've given your opponent a considerable weakness and a huge frame of opportunity. You honestly don't need them to get really dizzy, unable to stand, unable to hear etc etc etc..... Since then you'd be creating situations where there is little to no way for your opponent to counteract, thus forcing your opponent to write uncomfortably, them either having to leave out this ability altogether in order to stand a chance, or implement some ridiculous coincidence or powerspike in order to beat it.

Also consider that Venox has a similar ability already, and you practically leave your opponent unable to do anything as both of them will just make sure that there is simply nothing they can do before they take their target out. Venox's screech : Causes dizziness, headache and blurred vision : Alright, cool enough, nothing else required in my opinion :). Nightwing's abilities just take out nearly all of his opponent's ways of counteracting any attack that either him or Venox might launch at their target. While I understand that's kinda the tactic here, I just feel as if you overdid it a little bit and left your opponent with little frame to work with. Especially considering the fact that it's very hard to actually evade these moves when looking at the ranges on them, or the fact that Nightwing's actually quite fast.

That's about it. As for the rest, Venox's quite balanced as he is right now. Just cut down on the amount of senses that Nightwing can actually take out (My suggestion? Just keep it at blindness, nothing more is really needed. This leaves your opponent with other means of counter-acting your offence while it lasts, while still giving you that edge you need :D).

I hope I was helpful ^^
