The more you taunt the enemy, the more likely they'll waste time chasing you!

How To

Viper has many ways to play. My favorite is slipping and sliding around enemies to annoy them, then running away to heal. You are HARD to hit and kill when zoomin on the floor. You can escape fights easily and ideally can heal up before engaging again.

About your (2)

This is your delete button. Press on the target, then shoot the shit outta them. The lower they are, the more damage they take. It has high scaling on spirit, so don't forget to use it. Max damage happens when they are at 25% health.

About your (4)

Currently it blocks damage on petrified targets. Do not use it to shoot people; use it to get away or freeze people in place. After the threshold of damage is reached, they break free. But they will stay frozen for a long time if you leave them alone!
