Viper is a VALORANT agent who deals with poison and acid, burning down and suffocating her enemies. She uses fuel to activate her powerful abilities Poison Cloud and Toxic Screen to melt passing targets and block vision. The fuel gauge recharges over time, allowing Viper to control areas for extended time. Snakebite ability and Viper's Pit ultimate are also area-of-effect, completing the dangerous skill kit of this US agent.
