With a powerful weapon (and deadly venom to match), Vyper can slither into the back of teams and assassinate high-priority targets in a storm of bullets.

Description
Spirit focused build with great slot efficiency, damage, sustain, and power curve.
@Shaman on Shiv discord channel for questions.
Item Build
Early game
Left to Right
The sustain on this is insane. Scales decently. Try not to sell this early
Damage. Great for trading in lane with M2 headshots
Core damage item - builds to boundless
More knives
Mobility. Upgrade late.
Boned Lane
Usually will buy this if i need more sustain. Rarely do i get Regen or Rite
Mid Game
Left to Right
Synergizes with mystic shot and toxic bullets for great burst.
Rage, Regen, and lifesteal upkeep with crazy damage.
This item synergizes ridiculously well with the build. Tops my healing charts as a 3200
Damage
Good damage for the cost and synergizes with express shot m2s.
Healing component.
Builds into EE
Get armor if youre solo tank or focused
Effective hp from this + bloodletting is nasty
Effective hp from this + bloodletting is nasty
Late Game
Left to Right.
Great for express cooldown and overall uptime.
Great synergy with out build. Could take infuser instead but leech feels more consistent.
Stacks up to 54% damage amp on a target, not including the -8% resists.
More knives...again
Rounds out the build and scales out of previous items
We dont upgrade extra stamina throughout the match so may as well grab this last over kinetic or arcane surge.
Situational
Damage is good but overshadowed by EE. Buy it in conjunction with EE if possible
Incredible even at 6400 price tag. Invuln every 20s that you can cancel early and buffs you.
Big Shiv.
Great if you can parry well, especially into comps with predictable damage or CC.
Options vs. Bullet
Dont skip armor
This first, then plated or juggernaut.
Buy into characters who like proccing on hit effects.
Good into heavy gun builds and slows.
Options vs. Spirit
Dont skip armor
Great spirit resist and reduces enemy spirit damage. The silence is an added bonus.
Seems good in theory, may proc on trash abilities and not be up for the ones you want to block.
Wont particularly keep you alive more than other spirit items but gives good uptime.
