  I'm dubious about a lot of the "commanders" on the NA servers. Had a "commander" today kept leading us into ambushes set up by one of the other teams, loosing half our forces every time. After the 3rd time, it was obvious he was feeding us to the other team.

  Thanks for having me :)! I actually like how you chose a run that had room for improvement. Just goes to show that mistakes can happen even with a DRK comp and some battles must still be hard fought depending on spawn luck and enemy pressure. The most important thing is to have fun with it and honestly just try your best to help the team, be it as a commander or simply valuable teammate!

  Casual pvp is in a tough state at the moment as most people are just queing for the easy xp lowering the effort to win a game. Ive been queing daily with my AST as its one of my pvp only classes and is currently lvl 86 and boy let me tell you that my experiences over the last two weeks have been horrible. No coordination and you encounter a lot of premade teams (like your in the video) that are easily BH5 in the first 2 mins of the game. Dont get me wrong about premades, they are fun to run but frustrating to battle against lol. Your concent is always educational no matter how many kills you rack with your team!

  Something not mentioned about viper vs samurai, i good samurai will pop chiten as they wait for your snake scales to do its ending attack. That end attack will trigger Kuzushi allowing the samurai to pop LB, giving the viper no window to re-engage another snake scale.

  Hell yeah brotherrr I've been using Viper a lot since release and I think what it needs is a burstier burst. It has no personal mit or CC which calls to mind DRG, but DRG is built to shit out 10million damage a second while VPR's damage output is just too slow. Considering the combo portion of its LB is practically just for show and Orobouros takes an eon to actually do damage, I think if they gave the initial hit of LB more potency it would go a long way towards improving this job's performance

• 
  @salamanderYT6 күн бұрын

  agreed, some potency buffs and fine tuning to that lb get get damage out faster and Viper might become one off the top rolls for pvp, with how slow the LB's damage is way I play it often right now is LB into the group and go right into snake scale, then either follow up or just go right into ouroboros as I retreat

  I like playing Viper. Its ult is really bad though; my biggest complaint with it. It doesn’t do any damage, and the delayed registration for all the hits makes it feel like I’m hitting people with a wet noodle. It allows for any player to easily get out of the ult-never being a legitimate threat. By far the weakest part of its kit. Everything else feels solid though.

•

  I think it was intentional since it would not have been hard to make that limit break broken and they want to see how well it performs before buffing. Best way I found to play the LB right now was to Dash in - LB - Snack scale - Orobouros been working really well

  It only feels that way because everyone hard targets you when you jump in, the full combo is very powerful if you can get it off, if they did something like integrate the snake scales effect into the LB then it would be super broken allowing you to do the damage while you have that defensive, a bit like dragoon's lb shield

  I am on PC with PS5 controller so the game runs a bit smoother for switching anyway, but what I do is firstly have target closest enemy enabled really good to reset target or for the player right in front off you, also facing your camera and character in the direction of your intended target really help increase the chance you select them right away. For kills the trick to remember is the server tick rate so everything is a bit delayed so in smaller groups the closer the target is to death the easier for you to claim the kill, and in those big stacked up piles you want to throw in your burst damage sooner then you might think since there will be so much damage incoming that you wont see on screen.

  Viper has a ton of aoe potency packed into its kit, especially the LB, but seems to lack single target damage outside of LB. This means that to excel you need a team to followup your kills, a tank like drk or war to stack or cc the enemies, and/or a team of goobers that stacks on ramps and tunnels lol. But on your own soloqueing its rough to play viper. On top of that your only escape tool is your dash which means that you again need to rely on an ally for your escape. Your one defensive is also not useful as an escape tool because it locks you in place so the job is very all or nothing. If your team isnt following up you are just dead. That said, when things line up for you, your aoe damage is nuts. You are outputting millions up close and your LB is so spammable you can have it almost every single engagement. You can even use it on single targets to secure kills as you build BH and still have it for engagements lol. I have reached the 1.9M mark myself on viper while soloqueing. Still i feel like it could receive a buff. Reduction on animation lock most of all
