However, you can also activate and deactivate it, where the cooldown after activation is short, and deactivation a little longer. Unlike Poison Cloud, you cannot pick up the Toxin Screen, once you’ve used it, it’s there for the rest of the round. It’s length depends on the size of the map, the bigger the map, the longer the wall will be! The screen also deals decay damage just like the Poison Cloud. Toxin Screen is an ability that allows Viper to lay down a toxin wall in order to cover an area just like Poison Cloud. The best places to throw smoke at are havens (the higher areas and windows) in order to push, and tight corridors on the plant site when defending. This effect does not affect you or your allies. What this means is that their shield and health will start dropping towards 1 (not zero as it’s not lethal) and will start to regenerate once again when they’re out of the cloud. The cooldown to activate the poison cloud is the shortest, to deactivate a bit longer, and when you pick it up from the floor it’s the longest.Įnemies and allies’ health will decay by 50 health momentarily when they enter the cloud, and then resume every second until they reach 1 HP. When it’s deactivated, you can also approach it and pick it up to throw it somewhere else later. When deactivated, it’s put on a short cooldown before it can be activated again. When it’s active it burns 5 fuel points per second. Poison cloud can be purchased and has one charge. Viper’s poison cloud is a classic “grenade” like object that you throw in an arc and it bounces off walls until it hits the ground, at that point you can activate it or deactivate it in order to move away or manage fuel. It takes 20 seconds to replenish fuel to 100 after you burn it. You can have both cloud and screen active since it won't spend double fuel when you do that, unlike before. Therefore, fuel management is an important part of Viper’s playstyle. You start the game with 100 fuel and using your abilities will consume your fuel, when no fuel consuming abilities are active, the fuel regenerates. I am going to cover all of her abilities and explain how they work, while providing some tips regarding each. Without further ado, let’s dig into her abilities.

Today I’m going to teach you how to play Viper like a professional Valorant boosting squad member. Viper is one of the more interesting agents due to her fuel management mechanic that no other agent has.Ī good Viper is extremely useful and can hold a spot or plant for infinite time if she manages to efficiently work with her fuel, or push the plant by herself. Hey everyone! Today I’m going to talk about Valorant’s Viper.
