Viper has been one of Valorant's most popular Controllers since the title's release. Riot Games decided to buff up her kit to make her more essential to the game's meta with recent patches. With that being said, recent UI changes have forced Viper players to learn new lineups on most maps.

Viper has the ability to damage the opposition with her Snake Bites and decay them through her Toxic Screen and Poison Cloud. Her utilities work best on certain maps such as Fracture, and as a Controller, she can easily take on sites as the primary smoker.

This article will help players learn a few of the best Viper lineups for Valorant's Fracture.


Uncommon Viper ability lineups on Valorant's Fracture

Viper possesses various abilities that can turn the tide of a game in the blink of an eye. Her Toxic Screen wall is not a traditional smoke like Brimstone's or Omen's, yet it can be deployed multiple times throughout a round due to its fuel-based system. Any player who comes in-contact with her walls or cloud orb will decay overtime.

Her Snake Bite mollies are a great way to plant denial and play post-plant situations. Viper thrives on maps like Fracture, where players have to cover multiple angles from the opposition.

Fracture is a uniquely designed map with ropes for traversal and a central defender-spawn system. Furthermore, the sites are also designed with much more verticality compared to any other maps in Valorant.
