How Vyper beats Paradox

Assassin vs Marksman

You want the marksman isolated and close. Flank, use your gap-closer, and finish before they can reposition.

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.
