In the right hands, Viper is one of the deadliest agents on the entire Valorant roster. Armed with skills revolving around "poisoning" other agents, Viper is indeed a controller in all aspects. According to lore, Viper is an American chemist and was the second person to join the Valorant Protocol after Brimstone.
Although Viper isn't exactly line-up dependent, knowing which ability to use on which portion of the map does come in handy. Her ability to create a Toxic Screen can provide good cover in open areas. Moreover, with the ability to create a Poison Cloud and drop venom on the ground with her Snakebite ability, Viper can reduce the HP of enemies without even firing a single bullet. All that is before she unleashes her ultimate ability.
With her ultimate active, Viper creates a zone of toxic gas that also acts as a cover for her. Anyone who enters this zone starts losing health rapidly, making them easy targets for the venomous Viper. Also, any enemy who steps inside this zone is highlighted in red, letting the agent take enemies out without breaking a sweat.
Overall, Viper is one of the easiest agents to use in the game. Beginners can use this agent to learn the ropes of the game, while professional players can be seen executing interesting gameplays with Viper.
This list will focus on the five best players who've used the agent in the recent VCT tournaments, along with their average combat score (ACS).
