Author's notes

imo get good at playing vyper active. she's one of the best burst heroes in the game early once you unlock ult. her gun is also one of the best so you really should try to get some kills early. map knowledge on this hero = op cause sliding = op twitch.tv/Xera 4 questions

Mercurial Magnum 6,400no target set · most builds: Screwjab Daggerstill good after nerfs

Leech 6,400leech > vamp burst cause you get tankier and a ton of stats + vyper does a lot of spirit

Good 800s/1600soptionalAnnotated items

Healing Rite 800if ur going to buy this probs don't buy extra health too

Grit 800good if ur going to go indom later

Rebuttal 800lots of melees on enemy team

Extra Health 800good for fighting/not getting caught and dying i buy this and delay lifesteal sometimes

Healbane 1,600if ur 2 antiheal isn't enough

Spirit Shielding 1,600lots of spirit on enemy team with good ways to proc it

Weapon Shielding 1,600same as spirit but gun

Restorative Locket 1,600if enemy has lots of ability spammers to stack this easily

Enduring Speed 1,600lots of slows on enemy team, otherwise i almost never buy this

Debuff Reducer 1,600IMO this item is insane if you also buy weighted shots/are going to buy unstop later

Core Stuff 2optional

Crippling Headshot 6,400real good dps increase + antiheal but if you think enemy will buy plated/lots of bullet resist i think you skip for APR instead

Ethereal Shift 6,400OP item, i like to play vyper kinda assassiny so i go in like an idiot then press e shift after blasting someone

Spiritual Overflow 6,400if you want more DPS but IMO you're better off buying something that has some kind of utility like crippling or silencer etc

Vampiric Burst 6,400good if you dont like leech and want to try to just instakill someone with the dps burst and heal a ton in one go

Weighted Shots 3,200this + reducer = cc barely lasts on you. good if you want something to handle cc earlier than unstop that also is offensive. unstop is still super good tho

Armor Piercer 6,400plated armor/too much bullet resist. i buy lucky shot if im buying this item

Inhibitor 6,400good if someone on the enemy team is thanos and you think this'll make the difference

Frenzy 6,400i think this is good if you already have some kind of debuff resist + are tankyish. otherwise buy other stuff. good into pocket/holliday/mo/infernus/shiv/etc

Silencer 6,400op item good vs spirit heavy comps it also means ur team takes less damage so they might live longer to deal more dmg

Lucky Shot 6,400dps item buy this if you went APR cause to me it feels really good at that point

Good 1600s/3200soptionalAnnotated items

Veil Walker 3,200i buy this if I'm playing less risky. super good item tho and you should probably try it a lot

Enchanter's Emblem 1,600offensive spirit shielding basically

Battle Vest 1,600offensive weapon shielding basically

Counterspell 3,200this item is better the more you practice it. good vs pocket/infernus/abilities that are pretty readable like yamato 1 or abrams ult

Juggernaut 6,400if you need slow resist + enemy is super fire rate

Divine Barrier 6,400cleanse things like pocket ult

Dispel Magic 3,200can buy this into a bunch of heroes but i honestly buy this vs graves a lot cause she steals ur weapon damage

Warp Stone 3,200this is really good for fighting. use it to dodge spells

Stamina Mastery 3,200good for mobility in general/rotating around the map but if you get hard cc'd by anything this item barely matters. still very good tho

Spirit Resilience 3,200real good after you have leech. i buy this a lot

Indomitable 6,400good vs surprise ults like veilwalker mo/holliday/curses/haze

Unstoppable 6,400one of her best items, it's just kinda boring but it is very useful and probably can buy it nearly every game to simplify your gameplay

situational/testoptionalsilence wave can be OP and so can slowing hex so consider those
