Viper Animus Overview

Viper is an SR Odd champion who thrives on counterattack mechanics and team-wide defensive support. As the Wandering Sinner of the Fantasy Club, he’s built to absorb pressure and turn it into retaliatory damage, making him ideal for compositions that value durability with a bite.

His core mechanic, [Serpent Skin], enables high-impact counterattacks, while his passive [Shifting Scales] reduces CRIT damage for all allies and triggers precision-based retaliation. His main offensive tool, Scale Slash, is an AoE attack that strips buffs and applies debuffs, adding further disruption to his defensive playstyle.

Viper is perfect for players who want a reactionary frontline that punishes aggressive enemies while maintaining team stability.
