She is the only agent with several playing styles.

• Want to stop pushes ? Use double damage Molotov.
• U can play the lineup game for post plants (stops at least 16 seconds if u use orb and Molotov together)
• U can fake site rushes with the help of 2 players
• U can play mind games while hiding in smoke especially the poison orb ( I do that a lot u can check out my yt SELFLO in case ur interested )
• U can play around ur ultimate. It keeps damaging enemies u just stay outside for as long as possible then go in and get easy kills.
• U can even fake alone by simply using ur tools plus ultimate
• U can use one ways to ur advantage.
• U can use walls for several purposes - executes and divide the site entirely for the sake of bomb plant in eco rounds, block of spots but not the entire site in buy rounds, block los for many places with just one wall and divide the number of corners to be cleared (ex as a t if u wall garage the only think to check when entering would be close left behind the door and u can play around ur wall after wards )
• This is something people don’t realise that I do a LOT. Her orb is very thick and is safer to lurk inside compared to omen or brimstone smoke. U can cut the smoke by picking up her orb and surprise peek enemies. U can lurk in ur smoke while the enemies are pushing u. The chances of people spamming the smoke is relatively low because people haven’t faced viper as much. Most People currently don’t even know how viper would play as an opponent.

I know they’ll change controllers for the next episode but I hope people understand that viper is not bad anymore after all the buffs they have given her. I only expect a pick up and deploy cooldown for her orb next and not much
