In Valorant, Viper is portrayed as a savage and confident agent who isn't scared of enemies, and in fact, relishes the enemies' fear. She does not hesitate to call herself a villain or a monster and will act like both if it means the success of her objective.

She also proves to be the perfect support Agent, which makes her one of the deadliest characters in the game. Beginners can play as her to learn the basics, while professional players can be seen executing excellent gameplays using Viper.

With green eyes, raven black hair, and a gas mask, Viper is an American chemist. She was the second person to join the Valorant Protocol after Brimstone and has proven to be one of the best Controllers available in the game.

After the latest update that brought in various UI changes, Viper players have new lineups on most of the maps. This article focuses on a few of the best lineups for the Agent on Valorant's Breeze map.


Most effective Viper lineups on Breeze as of Valorant Patch 5.07: Snake Bite, Poison Cloud, and Toxic Screen

Although Valorant's Viper isn't exactly lineup dependent, knowing which ability to use on which portion of the map does come in handy. Her Toxic Screen provides good cover in most open areas.

Moreover, with the ability to create a Poison Cloud and drop venom on the ground with her Snake Bite ability, she can reduce the enemies' health without even firing a single bullet. All that is before she unleashes her ultimate ability.

Her ultimate creates a zone of toxic gas that also acts as a cover for her. Anyone who enters the area starts losing health rapidly, and enemies inside this zone are highlighted in red, making them easy targets for the Viper.

Snake Bite lineups

Viper can throw Snake Bite from a distance or make it bounce from a wall to hit the targeted area. It is the best ability for the post-plant defense in Valorant.

B Default plant Lineups - 1

When the Spike is planted at B Default plant position on Breeze, you just need to step near the corner of the wall at B Elbow and aim a tiny bit right of the leaf above. There's no need to worry as the canister will land exactly at the planted site.

For this lineup, you need to go to Mid and jump over the barrels. Then, face B site and line up the hud line with the edge of the tower and just simply shoot the Snake Bite.

Poison Cloud Lineup

Viper’s Poison Cloud equips a gas emitter. Players can fire to throw the emitter, which will perpetually remain throughout the round.

The Poison Cloud can be combined with the Snake Bite while enemies try to diffuse the Spike as both these utilities together provide great damage to any enemy inside the radius.
