Description
"When they see this, they'll run for cover!"
The 2nd build in the "Concerns of The Deep" Series.
This one is oriented around the Goo Ball (4). You'll be ballin' all around the map, disrupting team fights and dealing big damage!
Once you've maximized your Goo Ball (4), you can use Phantom Strike to instantly teleport to an enemy! Follow up with Splatter (1) for a big burst of damage.
Items have little notes under them. Feel free to give me some feedback on the Viscous Discord: https://discord.gg/jD3Cauw6n5
