Viperian Pros & Cons

Pros

• Unique Playstyle: Viperian has a very distinct playstyle focused on sacrificing his own health for persistent debuffs and damage against enemies.
• Area-of-Effect Damage: Both his ultimate and Exclusive Skill provide AoE damage potential.
• Sustain: Viperian has HP recovery built into several of his skills, including the potential to recall Darkvipers for health.
• Energy Reduction: His active "Enchantment Fang" and, potentially, his Exclusive Skill reduce enemy energy.
• Unaffected Status: Portions of his kit grant him temporary immunity, offering some protection.

Cons

• High-Risk, High-Reward: Viperian's power is directly tied to his willingness to sacrifice his own HP, making him a risky choice.
• Management Required: Playing Viperian well requires careful management of his HP levels and timing of abilities to maximize effectiveness.
• Susceptible to Burst: If Viperian cannot keep his health up through his skills, he can be vulnerable to burst damage.
• Cooldown Reliance: His AoE damage, potent Energy reduction, and major self-healing are tied to cooldowns.
• Dependent on Possession: Viperian's effectiveness is somewhat reliant on successfully possessing enemies with his Darkvipers.
