Güçlü (ve bir o kadar da zehirli) silahıyla Engerek, takımların arkasına sızabilir ve yüksek öncelikli hedefleri mermi fırtınalarıyla öldürebilir.
Fully annotated. Some of the annotations might even be useful!
My personal build that tries to power spike both early (with Spirit-based Dagger + Venom + Bola combos) and late game (with gun-based Weapon and Spirit Damage), with a fast-farming midgame to bridge the transition.
The patch changed spirit Vyper's laning phase from bursty poke to sustained poke. The biggest choice here is between Opening Rounds and Mystic Shot (I wouldn't get both); read annotations. Venom on Guardians makes you even more of a objective melter (remember to be in range when it triggers!)
II
Büyücü Amblemi
Overstatted item. Spirit resist, spirit power, regen, cooldown reduction? Good early priority in most lanes.
I
Ekstra Büyü
FYI: Vyper's movement speed scales with spirit power.
II
Deşici Mermiler
I like this in losing lanes or vs close quarters heroes; your goal in lane is to keep your enemies at or below half health so Venom is scary, this helps with that. Also good for farming.
II
Mistik Atış
More spirit burst, on your already-good gun. The more-reliable option. Good in winning lanes or against long-ranged characters who you can poke with this.
I
Mistik Patlama
You need to hit two daggers to trigger this now, or trigger it on a decent Venom pop, but it still helps a lot in lane with your poke.
II
Geliştirilmiş Büyü
It's more spirit power. What else should I write here?
III
Tank Patlatan
The news of its demise was greatly exaggerated. Still hugely helpful with big venom pops (or bolas), even if it's hard to trigger on dagger now. In losing or farm-heavy lanes, get after Tesla.
III
Tesla Mermileri
Big farm accelerator and buying it now makes Vyper's gun significantly better earlier to make up for the damage we lost on dagger. You're gonna be shooting more early, and this helps.
I
Hızlı Koşma Botları
Nice to have, especially if you're going on box and sinners runs, and the regen is a nice bonus too. Can otherwise wait for Enduring.
II
Kalıcı Hız
Movespeed good on slippery snake lady, and god do I hate slows. Get early in e.g. a Kelvin lane (may the devil curse his name).
Buy as needed. You probably want at least one or two unless you're truly stomping lane. In hard lanes, get one of these first thing.
I
Ekstra Yenilenme
Consistent, good, reliable, friend. I get it most games.
I
Ekstra Sağlık
Get if you're planning on going into Fortitude. Not worth if you're veil walker-ing.
I
Şifalı Atış
Good in most lanes, although can be inconsistent if you're dealing with double long-range poke heroes. The greediest option here; gives gun instead of health investment.
I
Karşı Saldırı
Vs Viscous or otherwise very punchhappy laners.
I
Aktif
İyileştirme Ayini
If you have 800 souls and your options are buying healing rite or backing to heal, buy healing rite. Having to leave lane is punishing in this game.
Choose your favorite; Fortitude feels better in current patch but VW still has its place. Can delay in very greedy games, or if you're desperately hurting for damage.
III
Metanet
Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead, and in its place is an old, reliable friend.
III
Kozmik Seyahat
Good god, they nerfed it. Still here for now, but I think Fortitude is just better now (yay!)
Buy simulatenously with the Greens category below as needed. Healbane should be picked up early if you're getting shredded by sustain-heavy heroes; otherwise this is in rough order of priority L -> R.
IV
Sınırsız Büyü
High priority, even if you're itching for more gun-oriented items. Movespeed, scaling for tesla bullets and merc magnum (not to mention your abilities), and did I mention the movement speed?
III
Salvo
Gaben personally designed this item for Vyper. My dad works at Valve and he told me that. Makes your slides 200% more silly and slippery. Priority pickup for me most games.
II
Güçlendir
Hızlı Şarjör Değiştirme
Not particularly important by itself, but we want it as a component of Merc Magnum, and it's nice for a quick reload.
IV
Güçlendir
Merkür Magnum
Crazy, crazy good item. High priority after Boundless. Basically doubles your gun damage AND gives fire rate. Make sure it's always active when you're shooting.
II
İyileşme Laneti
If they have anybody with substantial regen who's a problem, this is worth getting, and you have an easy time proccing it now. Otherwise skippable.
III
Büyü Parçalama
Worth after Merc Magnum and Tesla - I wouldn't buy it before then. You can apply it to petrified enemies - Bola, then shoot them in the head.
What I would buy if and only if I had all the Core items and felt I didn't need more green items.
IV
Aktif
Kondansatör
Low priority upgrade, but not a bad item and the active is underrated. Good if you're slot limited.
IV
Sekme
It's VERY fun, and can shred teamfights if you happen to catch them all clumped up (and not die in the process). Only pick up in very late game.
IV
Savaş Çılgınlığı
More gun investment, and more movement speed. The MS (and spirit resist) when below 50% can save your skin. Get if you're facing a heavy spirit lineup in the very late game.
IV
Büyülü Coşkunluk
I have changed my opinion on this item and think it is good enough to be core, but only as a late game pickup after everything to the left of it. Wouldn't prioritize it.
IV
Kırılgan Kudret
It is a LOT of gun damage. The minus max health is tough, but if it falls on your shoulders to be the gun carry in hyper late game, here it is (and it gives more damage to Merc Magnum, too!)
You probably want Leech, eventually upgrade Enduring Speed to Juggernaut when you run out of slots, and maybe one of Escalating / Spirit Resilience as needed. The rest are highly situational but sometimes important to have (counterspell, debuff remover, etc.)
II
Mermi Can Çalması
For building into Leech. Honestly, not that worth it by itself with this build imo.
IV
Sülük
Big healing. I prefer it over Vampiric Burst since a big chunk of our damage is spirit.
III
Büyü Dayanıklılığı
More and more necessary in today's goofy spirit meta.
III
Artan Direnç
Honestly, this is just a better bullet resilience for Vyper.
IV
Yıkıcı Güç
Shuts down gun carries and upgrades Enduring Speed. Good slot-efficient (albeit expensive) item. I prefer this (+ Escalating) for dealing with heavy gun lineups late game.
II
Aktif
Koruyucu Bariyer
Surprisingly good, especially if you're having a rough game and are transitioning into a more supportive role. Builds into Divine Barrier too.
III
Karşı Büyü
I do not consent to the Bebop bomb.
II
Zayıflatma Azaltıcı
It's okay. If I feel like I need this I usually just straight rush for Remover.
III
Aktif
Zayıflatma Arındırıcı
For your friend who came into this game from League of Legends and is now raging about how many stuns there are in this game. Or you, I guess.
II
Baskılayıcı
Pretty solid if you need to shut down a gun carry early into the game, but late game I'd rather have Juggernaut.
III
Ağırlıklı Atışlar
This is here for the spirit and debuff resistance. A greedier but still good resistance item.
IV
Can Çalma Mermileri
It's solid for more sustain, but not my favorite on Vyper. More of an Ivy item, you know what I mean? Yeah you do.
IV
Aktif
Vampir Coşkusu
See Leech.
IV
Aktif
İlahi Bariyer
Underrated imo, but probably a bit too expensive unless you're really struggling to do dmg and accepting a more supportive role. Then it's a great pickup for you and your team.
II
Reaktif Bariyer
Good against Lash, Haze, etc. in lane. Not great past early-mid game in my opinion - in most cases Debuff Remover is more useful (or straight up Spirit Resilience, or Spellbreaker).
III
Aktif
Işınlanma Taşı
A bit overkill, but it is funny, and it's actually a huge amount of bullet res after blinking.
IV
Kaplamalı Zırh
If you're getting absolutely shredded by on-hit effects, this is decent. But I still prefer Juggernaut.
IV
Aktif
Durdurulamaz
For that MnK that just loves you so much. Deadlock's BKB, for you Dota knowers. Although far less ubitiquous or generally necessary than BKB...
IV
Büyü Bozan
Pretty good into obnoxious spirit burst (e.g. Lash), but only in that situation - otherwise Spirit Res is more consistent and cheaper.
III
Kuvvet Ustalığı
If you want 3 million stamina. Not really worth it, but again, funny.
III
Parlak Yenilenme
I would rather have Leech, but this is also a sustain option if you're playing a more pokey, sustained damage role. I was forced to add this here.
All are annotated with my thoughts. I wouldn't consider any of them a core part of the build, but occasionally I may get one of these if the game really calls for it, and if you have a soft spot for one of these items, go for it. Unordered.
III
Aktif
Simya Alevi
Spirit power, gun investment and a good active. Throw it on the ground right after Bola to let it ramp up before they awake. Not priority, but if you do pick it up, pick it up early.
II
Aktif
Hızlı Adımlar
The extra slide distance is nice, and if you're slidemaxxing, well here you go.
II
Kinetik Atılma
If you dash jump a lot and need an economy gun upgrade, sure. Good item but not incredible.
II
Takviye Şarjörü
See Split Shot.
II
Aktif
Parçalı Atış
It's really good on gun Vyper, and not bad on hybrid either, but it's not priority for me. It can help make Vyper's spray more consistent in chaotic fights, and great with e.g. Billy ult.
IV
Aktif
Lanet
I HATE this guy and want them to SUFFER. A classic Spirit Vyper item, but a bit pricey for hybrid. The random 20% weapon damage is a surprise, but a welcome one.
III
Üstün Dolum Süresi Azaltıcı
Feels a bit overkill, cooldowns aren't really a problem outside of bola, but another reasonable upgrade path w/ Transcendent.
IV
Muazzam Dolum Süresi Azaltıcı
Only if you have a bunch of actives.
II
Aktif
Yavaşlatma Büyüsü
The actives are all self-explanatory, I feel. You're already a pretty item-hungry character so it feels bad to have to buy these. If you're in a pub and nobody else is doing it though...
III

Nakavt
See Slowing Hex.

III
Güçlendir
Güç Artışı
It's solid, but Merc Magnum and Boundless are just higher priority and if we fill up all the slots with purple there's no room for the orange and green, yknow?
I
Güçlendir
Mistik Genişleme
If they're running away too fast before you get the girl juice on them.
III
Büyük Genişleme
A bit overkill, but if you're out of things to upgrade and have Mystic Expansion. Does make your bolas bigger, that's fun.
III
Aktif
Öfke Transı
The silence is whatever. No stamina usage feels terrible though - albeit sliding from a run is very possible with this build.
III
Toksik Mermiler
In theory a tank shredder, but I've always found this item to be a bit underwhelming. Would rather have Tesla Bullets + Healbane, unless you're going against Victor + MnK + Abrams + Billy + Shiv.
IV
Şanslı Atış
I'd rather have Glass Cannon; the consistent weapon damage jives better with Mercurial Magnum; still this is good with our bonkers fire rate.
IV
Aktif
Gölge Pelerin
For a funny assassin-ish build. More map mobility, and the ambush bonuses are quite good.
IV
Susturucu
Your gun shoots real fast, this can be decent, but again nothing special. Maybe if they're ALL spirit - outgoing damage reduction is quite nice.
IV
Büyü Fırlatıcı
Effect is pretty weak for a tier 4 in my humble opinion, but 60% fire rate and a bit of CD reduction is far from nothing. If you need the reload speed, you're doing something wrong.
II
Mermi Direnci Parçalayıcısı
Better now with the Dagger changes making it easier to proc, and stacks nicely with t2 dagger. Underrated, but a bit of a detour imo.
III
Hızlı Şarj
I REALLY wouldn't get this with the current state of Screwjab Dagger - I don't think the price is worth what you get. Still, if you're desperate for the true dagger-slinging experience, here ya go.
