How Vyper beats Viscous

Assassin vs Brawler

Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.

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.
