Description
"Expelling goo!"
The 5th build in the "Concerns of The Deep" series, made for beginners and for fun. They are not aimed to be the most meta builds.
This one is oriented around Splatter (1). You'll be goopin' all over them and dealing huge damage! Extra Credit goes to VeMi!

Item Build
Welcome to Deadlock! So you want to play Viscous but don't know where to start? This build will help you learn his most basic playstyle: Splatter! Splatter bounces once by default, and 3 times when fully upgraded. Always try to throw it in a way that'll make bounces hit your target for additional damage! Viscous is one of the few characters to have an Alt-Fire (Right Click). It shoots a projectile with a short range that explodes. You can use it to poke your enemies around cover during laning phase!
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame
Buy left to right. During laning phase, you want to use Splatter (1) whenever it's off-cooldown and constantly poke your enemies. If you're struggling, buy a Lane Extra, then sell it later.
Lane Extras
Buy ONE if struggling to remain in lane, to not miss out on souls. Buy Healing Rite if you plan to get Rescue Beam!
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame
Buy left to right. After Greater Expansion, pick a Mobility Option. Enchanter's Emblem can be replaced by another T2 Vitality. If you are having difficulties staying in fights, pick a Survival item.
Survival - Mid-Game
If you find yourself having issues with certain enemies, pick ONE to deal with them.
An easy to trigger anti-heal. Gives you a nice heal when you kill someone, as long as they had the effect on them. This can be used against Victor.
Useful against Mirage's Tornado, Bebop's Hook, Abrams' Charge, Haze's Sleep, Paige's immobilize, any stuns (Including getting parried!) and more!
Choose your Mobility Option
Pick ONE to help you move around the map. Some of these can help you escape, engage, or even heal.
Allows you to escape with ease especially if used vertically! Very good against a gun-heavy team. A must-have if you use Goo Ball (4) a lot.
A bit of spirit power, and some nice mobility to roam around. Make sure to go through Cosmic Veils (The foggy walls) to trigger the active effect!
Survival - Late Game
If you find yourself struggling to survive during late game fights, pick ONE.
Basically an Automatic Counterspell against CC. Works against Cursed Relic. If facing many CC, buy Unstoppable. Very useful against Lash's Ult, Vyper's Ult, Bebop's Hook, Doorman's Ult and much more!
Allows you to survive with burst spirit damage. Very useful against Apollo, Bebop, Grey Talon, Lash, Mirage, and more.
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame
Buy left to right. Arcane Surge can be sold for a slot. Only get Escalating Exposure AFTER getting Spirit Burn. You can also get a Late Game Survival item, or an active.
Has to charge up, so after using Echo Shard, it will not trigger instantly on your 2nd Splatter (1).
Get your abilities back faster, such as the Cube (2) & Goo Ball (4)! |Upgrade into: Transcendent Cooldown|
A considerable amount of lifesteal, and lots more damage for Splatter (1). Keep in mind that with Echo Shard, it won't proc for both Splatters in quick succession, since it has a cooldown.
Easily triggered by your first Splatter (1) before using Echo Shard. |Upgrade into: Escalating Exposure|
Actives
Tailor your playstyle to something that suits you more. You can get Rescue Beam instead of a Mobility item!
This can stack Escalating Exposure easily. It'll also allow your team to take down Mid-Boss or Objectives faster.
Health but also Stamina upon use. Only take if you tend to frontline a lot and facing ability-spamming enemies.
You can pull people that are in your Cube (2), very useful when enemy teams tend to have enemies like Mo&Krill, Bebop, Holliday, etc... who can pull your allies away.
For damage & survivability. If you have Boundless Spirit, the Spirit gained is increased! Use it before using Splatter (1)!
A strong slow and more damage. Consider it if you tend to go in a lot, or use Goo Ball (4) quite often!
This item can counter Indomitable. Useful against anyone who relies on their abilities, such as Apollo, Calico, Pocket, Lady Geist, Victor and more.
Mystic Shot & Express Shot
Mystic Shot and Express Shot are two items that can be bought instead of the gun items found in the build. They'll allow you to deal extra burst damage when using your Alt-Fire. This is typically used at the same time as Splatter to increase the burst potential.
Counter-Actives
Helps you deal with various threats you might encounter. Cursed Relic will shutdown any carry!
A decent anti-heal that deals damage scaling with Spirit. Useful against: Abrams, Billy, Mo&Krill, Shiv, Silver and more. DO NOT USE AGAINST VICTOR.
More useful than Metal Skin when gun-focused characters have on-hit effects. Useful against: Celeste, Drifter, Graves, Haze, Infernus, Mina and more.
Optional & Situational
Items in this category aren't part of the core build, and do not have any form of left to right priority. They are all useful in their own ways, and got annotations for you to understand why to pick them and what they do. You can pick them to experiment and make your very own build!
Will grant you a charge of Puddle Punch (3) by dealing gun damage, but also melee damage, which includes Puddle Punch (3) itself!
Increases the size of Splatter (1) for a large amount for easier hits with bounces to hit multiple enemies and empower your gun!
Will help you farm & deal more damage with your gun. Always use on a Tier 3 Neutral enemy (The biggest, one eyed, alien monster in the jungle).
This can be triggered by Puddle Punch (3). You can also simply hit troopers for some healing too, but reduced. |Can be sold for a slot|
Lowers the duration of Infernus' Burn, any form of stuns, silence, immobilize and more. |Upgrade into: Spellbreaker|
If you are taking too much consistant Weapon damage, this will help but isn't as effective as other options.
This will help you and your ally survive more! It also provides you with some more range. |Upgrade into: Divine Barrier|
Only buy as 1st item. Keep the egg until your next item is Echo Shard! Then, cash it in to help getting Echo Shard!
Useful against: Haze, Wraith, Drifter, Infernus, Mina, Mirage, McGinnis, Seven, Vindicta, Vyper, and Warden.
This can be triggered by Puddle Punch (3). Try to use your it first before Splatter (1) for extra damage! |Upgrade into: Spirit Snatch|
