Tips and Tricks
Viper may be utilized as a solo mid or with a support in the safe lane.
Viper can be a force in the midgame even if it loses the laning stage. You are generally better off playing defensively in lane circumstances than risking being ganked.
Viper’s primary role in battle is to deflect opponent assaults while using his skills to whittle them down, freeing up the rest of his squad to move around freely.

CORROSIVE SKIN
