Description
Fully annotated!
My main build when I play Vyper. It's still technically gun, but it's much more powerful as your venom is REALLY strong. This, in my opinion, is the definitive way to play Vyper.
If you have any questions or feedback, ping me in the Deadlock discord @bonclide. Hope you have fun!
Based on Xera's build.
Gun Version: 223019
Item Build
Early
read annotations and buy as needed. buy extra regen or healing rite depending on lane
500
gets you tanky, simple. can sell for slot but also remember theres fortitude, which is great on vyper
500
really good dmg early get point blank later on
500
synergizes well, you can all-in at this point if enemy abilities are down + if your aim is good. Sell for slot
500
early bread and butter. pop before 2 pops sell for spirit slot
500
good stats early, upgrades into hex
500
pairs well with infuser
500
extra venom dmg
500
(optional) pops even when they're petrified, REALLY good with infuser and burst. Might be hard to get a hit but typically do it when the venom is going off
500
(optional) stamina + vyper = good time. also helps you avoid ganks. sellable
Mid Game
usually left to right, be smart. Afterwards buy a choice of spike
3000
90% of the time i buy this before the other items here. because swift striker + burst = faster farm and the passive is great for escaping/catching
1250
makes venom REALLY good, as your bullets proc ssb and they also proc lethal venom. guess what happens after
1250
good for spirit comps and your venom sellable
3000
first flex slot. toxic bullets + lethal venom has around 80% healing reduction, which is insane
1750
get this almost all the time with characters like calico, pocket, lash, vindicta, talon, etc. fuck calico in particular
3500
buy early. really good on vyper, movespeed and weapon dmg is great
6000
your bread and butter. BUY THIS ALMOST EVERY GAME. After buying, get a Choice of Spike or two, then return here if needed
1250
optional, but favorable. sellable
3500
this is probably all you need in terms of raw spirit power
3500
venom power spike
Armor
1250
good into most teams, just makes you tankier in general too
1250
escalating is generally better, but if they have characters like wraith/gun calico and their ults are problems then get bullet armor
4250
if you're against like talon, yamato, AND lash, other burst spirit characters, buy this earlier if you're struggling
4250
escalating is generally better, but if they have characters like wraith/gun calico and their ults are problems then get bullet armor
Early Situational
500
If you are stomping lane and want to get the tower, need to kill creeps to survive, or just want to farm a little bit, get this. sell for soul shredder
1250
this item is never bad, please fit it in somewhere
1250
procs barriers and allows you to survive
4250
once you get this you can just ignore a lot of characters. you also can just press this whenever for a heal
Early-Mid Counters
If you despise that one character in the lobby then you best show it to 'em. Can sell spirit strike for slot
1250
if gun damage is a problem and you need to survive, buy this. upgrades into frenzy
3500
most underrated item. being able to double jump and double air dash is INCREDIBLY good. i buy this when they don't have too much lockdown
1250
lethal venom healing reduction + toxic bullets + healbane?? brother they cant heal shit anymore
1250
i get this for characters like mirage, wraith, etc
3000
talon and vindicta, also movement characters like lash, pocket, etc
3000
silencer may be a better choice, but if you need a cheap alternative and need to cast it faster
6000
if you need to be the curse pal on your team, this is great. silencer might be a safer pick for you but its always a good option!
1250
mostly for laning. yamato, calico, krill, etc. lanes are great for this
6000
can be good if you have to frontline. or if lash/paradox/bebop are problems on enemy team and you need protection ASAP
Choice of Spike
buy 1-2 depending on the situation, then buy whatever
6000
if you need damage or generally dont want anything right now, buy this
7250
If you need survivability and can't be full hp all the time, this is a great item. insane value can buy berserker early
6000
if they have armors get this. decent damage aswell
6000
really good against geist/yamato/krill/infernus/lash/yamato, as their abilities are very problematic for you
3000
prio this vs lots of gun damage. otherwise you can wait
6000
dont be judgy, this is unironically very good. the spirit and firerate is amazing and its great for picks. shadow weave > infuser > petrify > spirit strike > gun em down
Late Game
read annotations and buy what makes sense. Bullet lifesteal if you need sustain
1250
(1) great for farming and chasing
1250
preference item, dont have to buy but just know it is a decent powerspike
3500
extra dmg
6000
(experimental) applies venom and toxic bullets to everyone in the area. could be great
1250
lifesteal = good pretty simple, dont buy if you dont need to sustain
1250
can replace barriers, really good
Situational
if the game goes on late or you have a problem/advantage, buy these.
3000
i buy this when i'm way too fed and don't already have crippling
7250
if the game goes insanely late and you need survivability
9500
you know... maybe i want more.
3000
i buy this early sometimes when holliday/lash/dynamo/paradox/bebop are on the same teams
6000
in games where i am ahead but worry about being tanky, this item gives you 40% both resists and a ton of HP. very good
6000
vs teams that debuff remover doesn't work against (dynamo, lash, holliday, pocket, bebop) this item is necessary.
