How Vyper beats Calico
Assassin vs Assassin
Assassin mirrors are decided by who sees the other first. Track their cooldowns and never commit while their escape is up.
Your game plan as Vyper
A slippery gunner who slides into your backline with a dagger and a bola.
Lane
Screwjab Dagger stacks damage and slow. Slither makes you faster than anyone.
Mid game
Lethal Venom gets stronger as targets lose health, so save it to finish fights.
Late game
Petrifying Bola petrifies on direct hit. Land it, then shoot.
How to beat Calico
A shadow-hunter who appears, bursts and vanishes before anyone can turn around.
- 01Move in pairs once she leaves lane; Calico hunts solo targets.
- 02Make her use Return to Shadows before you spend your big cooldown.
- 03Spread out against Gloom Bombs. Extra bomb hits deal reduced damage, but a full cluster still hurts.
