@jamairoqui I have barked up that tree regarding inactive bonuses upon stun a few times before. I honestly don’t understand why it hasn’t yet been implemented.
There was a time when Venomous was the be all end all, really hard to lose when equipped and really hard to beat versus. This is, in essence, why Valiant was born, and became its demise. Not only does Valiant counter Venomous very effectively when equipped (with the obvious lessening in the time your Bird is down), but it also is not a very good Set to complement a Venomous lineup. Extra damage applied to very little initial damage is not the best way to use Venomous to its potential. So Rovio did its best to kill the Venomous lineup by introducing Valiant (and maybe went a bit too far).
Remember Valiant has already been nerfed, and I don’t think any further nerfs are necessary, nor will be accepted by the masses. Valiant has its weaknesses, just use some protection/ retaliation on your Birds and hit the Banner. Use AoE and Splash to help knock the enemy down, as there is no real defense involved in most Valiant setups.
