Horned Viper

Last Updated: June 29, 2026

Horned Viper Overview

This is an initial review of Horned Viper, and ratings are subject to change following further playtesting.

Horned Viper is a progression focused support who offers single target control, limited debuff protection, and light cleansing, making her an option for early Faction Wars and encounters where Provoke and Block Debuffs provide value.

This warrioress of the Argonites coats her arrows with the venom of an ancient viper, luring a target toward herself instead of her allies. Shielded by her own powers, Horned Viper stands firm, enduring the wrath directed her way.

At its core, Horned Viper’s kit revolves around controlling key targets, protecting herself, and blocking incoming effects. Her A3 places Block Debuffs on allies for 1 turn alongside the small version of Increase ACC. While the duration and cooldown aren’t ideal, careful timing or pairing her with a buff extender can improve its effectiveness against incoming debuffs.

She follows this with an A2, a double hit single target attack that places both Provoke and the small version of Decrease ACC, while granting herself a Shield. This makes her effective against bosses like the Magma Dragon or for controlling priority enemies, with the Decrease ACC having the potential to become the stronger version through the Nature’s Bounty Blessing.

Lastly, her A1 has a chance to remove a random debuff from a random ally, helping cleanse effects throughout the fight. Overall, she looks to be a filler, progression option for Faction Wars once the Argonites Crypt becomes available.
