#[Viper] New Unit Megathread
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
Damn they really messed up
Let's go
same
Well is more like, if they made this mistake now then imagine next favourites items
xd

i hope the phone that the commander gifts her isn't her broken phone
cuz that is stupid
need a sucker "waifu enjoyer" to invest all their kits for viper
I will
Since even guilty getting used now theres more cope for viper 
Eng translation for Viper’s favourite item missions are so scuffed
Lobby wallpaper is also too zoomed so i’m keeping laplap on lobby
how strong is her treasure?
Stronger than Crow

Did we find out if Viper fav item is worth?
its already been stated multiple times that its shit
its just not worth the resource investment
Its currently Viper's best favorite item
i can say that, with this treasure upgrade, Viper is elevated to the best re enter b2 in the game
Seconded, you literally could do alot better waiting to see if future treasure is ex tier
otherwise go ahead and feed away your hundreds of maintenance kits on Viper 
only to have scraps when the better treasure is released
of course maybe all the new ones will be worse than Viper for the next year
Y'all clearly aren't ready for Xmas Jackal CDR B1 who boosts squadmates damage by 500%

You forget the word substained part of the damage
Feed Jackal 2,000 core dust daily and she will unlock this ability for that 1 day

Where recording
I think the Viper enthusiasts were more concerned about having Viper to themselves and didn’t remember to share

Same with exia fans 
Noir or Rupee? 
man coming here to see she's even worse than expected is so crazy
@normal lark Please upvote this to help change it, possibly. Ty ty ty
gotcha
Will she be the next red hood? They will fix her right?
I got viper's 2nd stage treasure, what's the verdict on her atm? I can't be asked to scroll up and read essays and theres nothing in pins either
bad to mid depending on how generous the take
treasure boosts her own damage but not enough to bring her over existing B2s who buff the team instead
her S1 retains the garbage 10s duration
shouldn't this refresh the duration?
As the only attacker 0.5 burst in the game she's easy to slot into any team with a spare flex slot for some more damage
if it stacks to 10, does it immediately drop the stacks in 10s?
but that's her only real benefit
her own hit rate and sustained damage buffs refresh yeah
but not the team buff
so she's a B2 who doesn't buff the team
and in the B3 DPS meta that is Nikke....
you really need support/defender in the B2 slot
B1.5 she can at least run *alongside * a B2 instead of competing against them
wait she doesnt actually need to burst right
her kit works when entering burst, not when self burst right
any way to slot her into s.sakura/s.rosanna team? or does that require her 1.5 burst to be unlocked
basically her burst isn't meta so any team that takes her will put her in slot 5
with final treasure you can use her burst without giving up a "good" B2 so it's a pretty big buff
but not the buff we wanted (boosting her S1 to support the team long-term when target appears)
Yeah, B1 CDR / Viper / S.Rosanna / S.Sakura / B3
and make that B3 Helm or hope you don't need any heals hahahaha
but that's more of a S.Rosanna issue than a Viper one
Viper just excludes the option of taking a healer/defender like Rapunzel or Noise in slot 5
im looking to use this team for UR probably because scarlet/anis team is shit for me to use and SW crit fishing isnt up my alley
But SR is a bit of a problem
Ultimately Viper (with treasure) is essentially a small bonus damage added in the form of a sub-dps
think of her as a very cheap version of Modernia, the much better DPS who doesn't take up a burst slot
her competition is other slot 5 regulars:
- Slot 5 Maxwell just giving her buff to two highest ATK
- Rapunzel giving heals
- etc
hopefully i can make her work in the summer team
If you have Helm then the above should work decently enough
Otherwise you'll have to swap her for a healer anytime the boss deals too much damage
I think Viper stack is bugged? I read somewhere that Viper’s effect instantly drops at end of full burst
Pinging to relate what I just said above
That's phase 2?
Right?
Yep yep that
I think he was talking about that
Apparently the stacks are tied to Viper having Vamp status. Once that status is gone, the stacks are promptly trashed. RIP
He was asking about the stacks lasting for 10s after burst ended, since they should refresh
Intuitive thinking and ShiftUp kits
Naive
And vamp only continously at phase 3
Either you bricked the stacks or brick b2 reenter then for now lmao
no fking way its actually bugged like that
this is gonna make the 5 viper fans cry
it keeps getting worse and worse
whoa there, even sneon isn't this bad. She got a minor buff at least

lore accurate viper devs not gonna let her have anything
Devs too busy jerking off to her skin than fixing the bug

Thank you. Now I can enjoy Viper treasure story 

Finally got her item to 15. Now to get dupes lol
hopefully this solo raid i can get enough to fully test her
I’m doing out of love
is this confirmed a bug or a feature?
Unconfirmed, it’s a feature for now. 
It just means that Vamp status has to exist for the stacks to exist. With Vamp gone, the stacks go.
ye couldnt get them to stay even with isabel it might just be doomed
I want to say it’s a bug because Viper treasure is so impractical that improving it by fixing this one won’t even make her too strong
But for this kind of double whammy, idk if ShiftUp will care to try to fix
im kind of new do they have precedence with bug fixes/buffs? i only know redhood was buffed
Honestly it’s very unpredictable so we don’t know
They recently fixed a PvP bug that apparently was around for over a year and 9 months
It doubled Noah’s burst generation…
So you can see it had gone unnoticed or they didn’t care to prioritize it
Viper’s “bug” and “not-bug” could be fixed in a couple days, or only next year, or never
if you look at phase 3
which allows Viper to Vamp forever
you will see the bug kinda make sense
they have done mini updates where they fix some bugs with nikke skills, but whos to say viper will get one
I think the problem is it expires when Full Burst ends?
imagine
So still the same problem. Vamp departs when Full Burst ends, and with it goes the stacks
I think they wanted the stacks to stay and just run out whatever duration remains
So if the stack had 10 seconds left, and Full Burst ends, I believe they thought the stacks would be staying on, running through those 10 seconds. Of course, the next Full Burst would renew this because of re-entering Vamp…
I need to find someone that knows if it really does last forever
oh i see it doesnt say lasts 10 seconds anymore
I was rereading the skills and it does seem to imply Vamp is forever until hit, for treasure phase 3
I’m finding myself feeling too lazy, I’ll just take it to mean that she’s crippled if you refuse to take her to phase 3 treasure
she's not crippled
Saw screenie of someone with maxed Viper doing alot of dmg in SG team vs water-weak enemy
So I assume to achieve that kind of damage, as a re-enter B2, Vamp does run forever and does fix the “bug” automatically
you got the img?
Should be yours, same name
ah 
i thought it was me, since im like one of the only ones actually doing it, and i remember posting her dmg
I take it you have phase 3 treasure?
Oh… then I was wrong
that is phase 2
I’m still searching for proof that phase 3 Viper treasure still lets Vamp stay forever
next week i should have enough for phase 3, since SR shafted me
Well not searching, but now I don’t have the proof so oh well
Nice
Alright, I guess you can tell us in a week 
- So 28 more to go
I don't think enough time has passed for anyone to have stage 3.
Unless they got ridiculously lucky with SR random drops I guess.
Anyone has gameplay of Vioer with her full treasure done
Wanted to see what it was like
The damage doesnt come from her skills.
But rather from the increased stats.
The CP diff says it all.
And secondly, her doll.
Which boosts normal ATK DMG.
So, does that mean we can just stage 1 her?
Without stage 3 she has to fight for a spot against good B2 like Crown or Rosco
With stage 3 she can run alongside a better B2
This. Basically, Viper should go to phase 3 treasure if you really intend to use her to her maximum potential in PvE content
But you’ll have to retire her from competitive PvP to do so, or at least lose some of her advantages there. If that’s not what you want, then well, you’ll have to choose. It’s a one-way street as well, so once you cross over to phase 3 it’s joever
is that really necessary when you can just replace leona on the SG team?
Leona > Viper for SG team
I don't know if the math works out in her favour against B.Alice when no healing is required or not (assuming stage 3)
I am probably the first person in this server that will unlock it, I can show you after 2 daily resets
lots of people have it but nobody bothers to record lol
neither in this server or the other one has anybody mentioned having it finished lol
I got so far by collecting the random item reward before she released + getting 25/120 possible drops from the 2 solo raids, I doubt lots of people did the random reward part
Zxous has gameplay 
10 sec into the video: disclaimer, not the final upgrade 
I only got her treasure for her lobby her overall kit still sucks ass 
Damn people really love viper

Based
i got 2 resets til i have her phase 3, so will also be testing the final one too, when i get it on thursday reset. ill be testing both shotgun and sustain dmg comp
Can’t wait to see the gameplay.
ok this is the dmg before the upgrade with the meta dmg dealers and the dot team, one fight had viper burst and the other the buffer.
The fights were on auto against the Wind (fire weak) 3 min boss in the union shooting range so that none of the units get the dmg buff
I will post the 2 runs after the upgrade tomorrow
Can you try this comp pls, liter rem viper xlud B3 flex (privaty or something like this is ok, wanna compare those water units)
Against water weak
What is your viper investment?
sorry, I only started in january so no lud
- I reset rems skills 2 weeks ago when it was available
-complains about german name
-has german name
@misty sigil can you do this?


Well is ok Viper sucks af

949, 4 ol, head chest and arm maxxed
head: 23,56% ele, 11,81% atk
chest: 13,22% atk, 22,15% ele
44,28% max ammo
arms are 10,40% hit rate, 22,15% ele and 11,54% crit dmg
legs:5,71% crit chance, 23,56% ele, 11,81% hit chance
Useless skill

Snake Sense ■ Activates when the target appears. Affects all allies. ATK ▲ 25.98% for 10 sec. Hit Rate ▲ 11.13% for 10 sec. ■ Only activates when attacking in Vamp status. Affects self. Sustained Damage ▲ 4.4%, stacks up to 10 time(s) and lasts for 10 sec. Hit Rate ▲ 1.84%, stacks up to 10 time(s) and lasts for 10 sec.
thx to her second skill she is basically always in vamp mode, thus her hitrate anddmg buff are always active
The stacks and DMG in S1 is a meme
well I can always reset it 
?
The heck with those overloads xD
??
Yeah +100% ele is insane
Playing almost 1,5 years and my max ele % is 81% in summer Sakura xD
the next coop raid will be fun, I aim for the top
Maybe your viper works really well in SG comp
also, I would like to switch the crit dmg for a second crit chance, I had that before rerolling my arms and it was amazing how often the burst crit
- a thir atk would be nice
Yeah crit dmg is trash
+cube
Yeah I meant that xD
Well enjoy your viper, even if her kit is meh +100% helps a lot
And your viper will definitely do dmg
she does dmg comparable to b3 units while also increasing their dmg due to her def down, wait till you sew tomorrows numbers and then reconsider calling her meh 

looking at the second pic (liter crown viper rh sbs) I would guess that teams final dmg to be around 250m for viper and 300m for scarlet and rh against the fire weak boss
would be very surprised if its any less
i could
and will you do it?
maybe
this is before final treasure, ill get it in 2 days
each run was around 1.4b
this is sad xd
ele lines in each?
you mean on everyone?
yeah sorry for my poor grammatics
im working
i have to write in 2 secons xsdsqada
doro and viper has 2, priv 0, xlud and rem has 1
got no rocks 
imagine having rocks in late game xd
true
i do also say, xlud and rem did have a massive advantage in this because of the core being available to be hit the whole run, i would imagine the results would he different without the core
that's too
if not more
I'm like 4 resets away, I think everyone who prioritised viper since her treasure release is just coming up to phase 3 now
not me
So we'll see gameplay over the following week
Well, I say that as if I even have the treasure, gonna wait for Ein to be added before I roll perma banner enough to get the last dupe with silver mileage 
@clever scroll and here is the meta and dot team vs fire and wind boss
I also tested naga instead of viper to support crown better and it did slightly more dmg against the wind boss but for the fire boss there is no contest
Looks like Viper gains around 40% dmg going from treasure phase 2 to phase 3
Unsure how it’ll differ between shooting range and real boss fights, but that’s a nice upgrade
He just posted above
For this, left pair of images is phase 2, right is phase 3 (well if you can see 4 image previews)
cuz If I assume, you all are in Paris

so her dmg is gained
from constant DoT buff
I think she doesn’t lose stack anymore but it wasn’t specifically asked, let me check
Alright, Vamp status stays forever
Continuously was not a lie
nothing, a rl will strip her off as fast as the commander
yeah if you run her solo
normally we don't run Viper solo tho
10s
15 SG shot
220.4% each
Guilty is 231.4% each with 48.81% ATK buff

Viper + Guilty on same team is possible though 
She’ll probably still lose all stacks if the boss does AoE team attacks and breaks her Vamp status
But those should be well paced and probably even dodgeable
anyway, Guilty dmg over 10s is 15x1.4881x2.314 = 5165.2% ATK
Viper dmg is 15x220.4%+2500%*2/3=4972%
yeah, Viper is slightly weaker than Guilty
both should have their own room against ele weak
but guilty needs to burst for that, vipers dmg is "free"
You have phase 3?
yes
@hybrid warren so the basic finding is that you need phase 3 to keep the stacks??
Which was
Your assumption 
Ok now go through both rentry once 
I guess you were right
and it results in a roughly 40% dmg increase compared to not having the final upgrade
Ahahahah that cat
30%-40% but I picked rounding it optimistically to 40% 
Too many variables
Conclusion is pretty much Viper lovers can keep her around just fine
are you using auto aim on your tests ?
yeah so that its consistant
i mean, you lose DPS doing that cuz hit rate debuff, i think the difference between RH/alice and viper wouldn't be so big if that was off imho
you mean rh/alice would be higher?
yes, maybe weaker than viper for fire boss but overall they should perform way better
especially with this team, just don't forget to enable aim assist at max
SBS should be hitting much harder if anything
kinda sad SBS is only matching a RH that core hits and 1x pierce only
You’re assuming his BS Scarlet OLs though, might be weak
Oh he listed the OLs elsewhere, sec
Pasting his OL list to here, he wrote the below:
Viper: 9/4/9, 4 ol
- EleDmg: 23,56% + 22,15% + 22,15% + 23,56%
- Atk: 11,81% + 13,22%
- Ammo: 44,28%
- CritD: 11,54%
- CritR: 5,71%
- HitR: 10,40% + 11,81%
RH: lvl 15 ssr doll, 10/10/10
- Atk: 6,18% + 11,81%
- ChargeSpd: 2,86%
- Ammo: 68,93%
- ChargeD: 8,29%
- CritD: 16,44%
- HitR: 11,81%
- Def: 13,93% + 11,81%
BS Scarlet: lvl 5 ssr doll, 10/7/10, no ol arms
- EleDmg: 24,96%
- Atk: 11,81% + 9,7% + 11,11%
- CritR: 2,3% + 2,64%
Naga: lvl 5 ssr doll, 9/7/8
- Atk: 4%
Modernia : lvl 1 ssr doll, 10/8/6
- Atk: 7,59% + 10,40%
- Ammo: 68,93% + 48,39% + 81,26%
- CritR: 5,71%
- HitR: 13,93%
Alice: no doll, 10/4/9
- Atk: 11,81% + 11,81%
- Ammo: 68,93% + 68,93% + 81,26%
- ChargeSpd: 3,16% + 4,63%
- ChargeDmg: 11,11%
- HitR: 11,81% hit rate
Hmm I’ll reorganize it for easier reading
thx
And merging the numbers
gimme a sec, I posted modernia and alice also somewhere
SBS just missing the charge speed and pairing with alice for her S1 really
I guess ammo too since you aren't running her with noir
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1261550834261688400/1273539272074334208/image0.jpg?ex=66befb5f&is=66bda9df&hm=0e90977fbf396b3265fd7cc3fa0e24ddd6f3d23e1de3116a088436d1b4c61ccd&
modernia : lvl 1 ssr doll, 10/8/6
head: 5,71% crit chance, 68,93% ammo
chest: 13,93% hit rate, 7,59% atk, 48,39% ammo
legs: 81,26% ammo, 10,40% atk
Alice: no doll, 10/4/9
Head: 68,93 % ammo, 11,81% atk
chest: 68,93% ammo, 11,81% atk, 11,81% hit rate
arms: 3,16% charge speed, 81,26% ammo
legs: 4,63% charge speed, 11,11% charge dmg
yeah she and rh need work, I am focusing on rh now and then sbs
Rh, Alice >sbs
I know Alice is hard to build
Well if you play auto Rh, SBS>alice

I play mobile so alice will never be that good
also
in terms of investment alice already ate 35 stones
Alright, done condensing. Moving ele dmg and atk to the top of the lists…
rh 7, sbs 4, viper 9 and modernia 6
you can still fast shoot on mobile with alice
the problem comes if you need to aim while fast shooting
which good luck 
Ah adding in Modernia’s and Alice numbers now
mobile only originally and one handed friendly game btw 
anyway, this and the reason I really don't like her are the reason why I want to focus on the others for now
And done
looking at it like this, my viper is really insane
she will be so much fun in tomorrows coop battel
Is your mobile strong?
Can it run at 60 fps?
yes
playing with union members through discord so shouldn't be an issue
Would think SGs would perform worse than SRs if it was a device issue
Nice good mobile
they just need to wait a sec for me to select the target for the burst
Mine sucks af, it runs at 45 fps xD
MGs > SMGs > ARs > SGs > SRs = RLs would be the order of weapon types suffering from FPS slowdown
Old 2021 mobile
yeah I bought a galaxy s24 ultra
I can but idk what to do with a big mobile like that
my only issue was in the first few months the game would regularly crash due to that unity bug
pretty sure that phone throttles after having nikke open for a while
I'm only using my mobile to watch reels and Whatsapp xS
I also wish it would be slightly smaller but I can manage, I have big hands
Anyway if one day you wanna try competitive game in solo raid you have to use a tablet or better a pc
Last raid was a crime to mobile players
Perhaps they learned from it
Possibly too late for the Collab Boss though
But the one after it might be adjusted to address all our complaints
2.5 hours for me
then testing can begin

Damn +9,6k atk
this is against wind weak

what weakness?
Water weak and neutral
Neutral for everyone, bsoda and noir, so maybe fire weak

And if you can, tell me your lines in bsoda and viper
bunnies with water weak

viper gear
soda gear, it is rather bad
Because she is the only water damage dealer unit in SG comp rn
Don't worry boda is a monster in SG comp
yeah, its just annoying having no rocks to change gear lines, ive gotten 0 this whole week
actually, maybe 1 or 2
Is ok is ok
Viper could works in sg team as damage dealer
That is enough to build her
I'm still building exia
replaces leona

Ehhh is ok but I prefer heal, not everyone has core 7 to survive in solo raid xS
I mean balice is the healer in SG cope but idk
Viper being re enter and balice being re enter too

ill most likely use viper in sustain comp in SR, depending on boss and if it does crazy dmg where heals are needed
against fire weak bunnies
Dam soda
The real mvp
My soda 7/7/7

Ok thanks for your support
I have an idea now
sustain comp against water weak
That comp seems possible when a boss with a lot of parts appears
against neutral she seems to be in the same level as mpriv
But instead of shadow I prefer a healer
yeah, and ill swap some units around, prob doro and helm instead of liter and sbs
Yeah something like that,
Imo su error was makes her a B2 re enter
It was fucking easy makes her b3
yeah

if it was optional
water weak
mmm if you put off aim assist and play manual xlud
And rem
Trying to not hit the core

Xlud is a debuffer too
well then
water weak auto
my xlud is lb0 10/8/8 for the record
against train in SI
Sexy damage for the water-weak shooting range
Yeah
for comparison
I’m concerned about the loss of healing for comps like that, but is fine if you get away with
If healing is needed, Viper might be pigeonholed to run with Helm or Quiry, idk who else. Frima? 
in easy raids seems possible
Well, could also run Viper + Marciana
In raids like M container only whales can
The healing options are there so nothing to worry about, I suppose
Play without healers is possible with good cores and at least lvl 5 Sr doll
Otherwise like lb0 no doll hahaha better play with healer
Is this full auto neutral?

My Rh neutral synchro 377 makes around 1b
full auto water weak
thats a good idea, tove, viper, marciana, soda, mpriv
ill be testing a few other teams in the mean time, but no worries
weird ish water dmg team
how much ele dmg % for viper/lewdmilla ?
water weak
viper is 37.3, lud 23.56
iron weak 
are you still testing can i make a request?
b1 with no dmg boost idollflower or something
viper
crown
blanc
rosanna
cover burst with viper screenshot a non crit dot tick
burst with crown blanc rosanna screenshot non crit dot tick
ill do it in the morning when im on my pc
ye no rush ty
What a specific test 
not really looking for like which ones bigger than the other im just pretty sure crown doesnt even work
since its after
like crown doesn’t work for sustain dmg?
is that what you mean
yea the dot goes off the attack when its cast and doesnt update when crown gives attack
like ssakura not wokring with maxwell cuz she casts then maxwell gives when entering fb
ah ic
How did u like the Viper+Marci comp for SG
Marci kit will be crippled, tove increase ammo, marci is last bullet unit
Technically Marci can still be used as her S2 is heal on burst, it's just she won't perform her 100% of her capability.
Other option maybe slot in Helm as B3 
The other other option would be getting good at dodging boss attack I guess 
Or, SG+bunnies just like when wind weak bosses and people use Guilty
Putting treasure phase 3 Viper with Blanc & Noir is probably the easiest option
Even if opting for no Tove goodness for those two, you can still run the original SG team separately

her dmg vs the coop boss
yeah I am in the casual clan but the global ladder is about to be full with us 
how u didnt get stunned is beyond me
when i did coop, i got stunned every. single. time.
i lost so much dmg
in this run alice had the most hp
its based on current hp value. Character with highest hp gets stunned
she always git stunned when it was time to burst so we had a good 30 sec delay by the end if it
is it off hp? when i looked at the deets, it doesnt mention it
RIP if you’re super dolled and geared, but the others aren’t
Especially Crown who’s a Defender…
but I also lost a lot of hp since I had to do the circles, if I could fire all shots into the boss I would also vave a lot more dmg
Treasure 3 Laplace did like 70m while getting stunned everytime, and the only B3 in team, because people went troll like Liter, Rei, Mary B1s
Yes, three B1s
I got a 370m run later so all good, I think it’ll survive top 10%
With Xlud tho
oh wait
we miss coordinated in the team section and got confused on what we were doing for team comp
lol only 1 b3
when i did solo coop without coordination, i waited full 55s to see if anyone would choose another b2, but didnt (also idk how this dudes name is allowed in game, but had to cover it bc it was n word)
Use Leona over crown and check
Do water weak
Tove viper M.Priv B.Soda leona
Can you also share mPriv's skill and gear
Crown is a bit biased towards viper cuz viper bursts every 20s
Leona should be more fair
only idoll and viper burst, no one else, gonna do other bursts now
crown burst, also hit 288k non crit
blanc, but also hits 247
rosanna burst
this is on fire weak btw, ill do water now
oh so crown does work even bursting after
solo viper burst on water weak
also solo viper burst, nearing end of buffs i presume
viper, blanc
hmm i just retested sakura with maxwell and the dot is bigger with her
idk if this was changed or the person testing was wrong before
viper and crown
this was more consistent
rosanna, every hit was 523, hit 445 once, then hit 523 all the other times
As I said yesterday I like this comp against water weak solo raid
want me to do this test?

did it answer the questions you had?
yes
well since nex union raid has water weak, i could do more testing when that happens next week
thats good then
Thanks
want me to do anything else or is that all
2 ele 2 atk 2 ammo on viper
2 atk 2 ammo on soda
1 ele 1 atk 1 ammo on mpriv
Just can you give me skills for Leona?
Also, geez
How do you have 101010 on all sg units 
Buni
i think she is 1/7/1
i heavily invested into sg team 

lemme check
thats what a guy in my union wants, he is the shotty fanatic, and invested into them day one, and converted me, hes built sugar, guilty, drake, mpriv, soda, viper, even neve
for all the elemental coverage

My love is 9/7/7
I'm happy now
Actually drake's kit isn't bad, just increase their numbers and she will back
I mean, is bad because low numbers in self buff
Good lad

leona has been left in the dust for the time being
Hmm might be time to ol her
xD
I don't know how strong her damage can be compared to viper
been upgarding summer rosy and sakura, for sustain comp
planning to 10 her burst, afterwards have no plans on skill mats for time being
Rosanna and Rh saved p5
maybe invest into xlud skills a bit more
shes also hot, which is nice

also summer sakura needs parts for good dmg too
water weak for the record, not bad
for union raids yeah, solo raids may need to use this
Solo raid sometimes is a mess
wind weak
eventually we will get the liter and helm replacememt
I have no idea if T3 Laplace is weaker than T3 Viper, but
Which T3 character is weaker doesn’t matter since they’re different elements
🤷♂️
Viper > Laplace? 
RIP
Put it in writing 
I did, berate her so hard Snake had to rewrite it

okay exit done
only Piper left
viper is bae
Wild
Just did a run with fully upgraded Favorite Item viper and she wasn't killed by the Blacksmith tentacles if she had burst at least once.
Stunned, but the "attack" didn't hit to kill her like it would normally.
hmm while that is good to know it sadly doesn't matter, the stun is whats the annoying part
The stun cleared after the attack failed to hit though.
It certainly felt like a bug, but favorite items make the game play weird.
yeah but the immunity shield is still there till you clear the atk
True, and in pick-up coop, no one else will.
yeah but I am trying to use her for max dmg
don't have a screenshot of our best run (was 720m with a second alice) but this one was close
Yeah, Blacksmith should not be targeting Viper while she has Vamp status
That includes the stun
no single target attack will hit her
Yeah but Blacksmith does
So the question is now whether it's a Blacksmith bug, or a non-damaging attack bug
Perhaps applying conditions (e.g. stun) isn't considered an "attack" for example
In which case it's not even a bug but just poor wording
Blacksmith usually won't. I think it is a rare condition where Viper also has the highest HP
Actually hold up
You said that no damage was taken?
That's very weird
1 sec should've passed so she shouldn't be invulnerable

Unless you entered full burst while she was stunned
Timed perfectly to save her
No, it happened three times during that run.
Between bursts
The coop team didn't interrupt the attack, so my Viper should have been one-shot. She didn't take any damage at all.
My Viper was properly ignored on the two coop runs I used her in today (third run I used XLud).
Then again, hard to properly judge because one of the runs was with a Crown who certainly took the taunt.
for me, in coop, my viper got stunned every single time, but didnt take any dmg at all, and all the others got downed and i stayed alive, til i was the only one left.
either i got stunned again, and got downed since i was only one left, or battle ended. also bursting just before stun didnt work either, still got stunned
The stun doesn't count as an attack because Viper shouldn't be targeted at all, but the lethal hit from the tentacles doesn't occur. Very strange.
I'm leaning toward it being a coop Blacksmith bug, because previously even before her Treasure, Viper would get ignored in Solo Raids.
dmg vs lvl 8 nihilister
sure
she does
but maxwells atk buff is just amazing
*this was against lvl 9
Thanks! 
Viper's treasure is the last one I don't have, so I'm having to decide whether to go for it or save my kits for next batch
well she is very good
but keep in mind my viper has 100% elemental dmg
maybe go for the random boxxes, the next treasure should get added to the loot pool just like vipers and then you can get both at the same time
i am around 70% towards my last treasure skill unlock
is she like, still unusable or?
with her final upgrade she fills a similar spot as modernia, the 3rd dps unit in the team
lvl 10
Have you tried her against AI Harvester?
yes but the adds are annoying
I play on mobile and can't put abilities on auto since it always targets the adds instead of the boss 
Oof
I tried Viper on Harvester. She helps. But I'm not sure it is ideal. I can't get to stage 6 on any of the bosses due to stats, but it is closer with Viper.
I lost Crown on this run, but it gives you a good idea how Viper performs.
That is considerable damage 
I don't know if she's team 1 tier for water weak bosses (aka AI) but she'll definitely appear somewhere in any future water weak raid
Likely in a Crown team
Crown's S1 is just too good for her
2.1b in union range
How good is viper against Harvester?
what was the weakness ? whats the investment on other sg's ?
water weak
all sgs are 10/10/10 full OL
she was quite good, i nearly one shot lvl 10, got to 2b dmg

Im couple days away from maxed viper treasure, what team would she fit in in SR? is it a shotgun?
not really
wym
all of them are

How does she perform in AI
this was auto
albeit my viper got some major upgrades
oh i meant the new interception.
but if that was auto... 
oh, i havent tried it on new interception
it was also done on my phone and not on my pc too
so idk if that makes any difference
Viper makes a difference on Harvester, but I'm not sure about what the optimal teams are.
Your choices are no Dorothy or no healer when you include Viper. And no Dorothy is really not an option because she keeps the adds down.
I know is viper thread but...
sbs xlud best comp?
@misty sigil can you try my comp but viper instead of xlud?
sbs alice (manual no macro) as damage dealers
Xlud is presumably better because once you take off the head, it is a core for her to proc off of.
I'd be more interested in trading out Alice.
alice for viper?
yeah why not
anyway this is manual alice+ xlud filler
if you can octo try replacing viper for xlud and alice
what do i need to do for harvester
never done him yet
looking at the short attempts ive done with liter, viper, sbs, alice and crown, sbs is on top, then viper is behind by like 100-200 mil
my xlud only has 1 ele roll so her dmg is dreadful against this
doing same dmg as alice
Shooting range is kek better try with real bosses
that was against harvester
Fire boss
Viper 10/4/10 3lmb
Atk 26%
Ele 36%
Soda 8/10/10 3 lmb
Atk 35%
PriM 10/10/9 Core 6
Atk 40%
Iron boss
Huh
mPriv and viper should have same performance on iron boss as fire boss

Fire boss >>> water weak
Ohh my bad
The reason why viper is accepted as good shotgun is because of crown
In tove she is not as good of a fit
Similar to exia, she can burst every burst, and hence gets crown atk buff every burst
Soda and mPriv only get it every other burst
water weak
Viper 10/4/10 3lmb
Atk 26%
Ele 36%
Xlud 9/8/8 0lmb
ATK 22%
Ele 20%
sbs 10/7/10 core 1
ATK 40%
can I ask how the hell sbs survies there
Cover
compare SG team (perfect run)
Viper + Marciana and Leona + B.alice
Boss wind ( fire weak)
Leona 10/10/10 3 LMB
ATK 7.59%
Marciana 5/5/1 0 LMB
No ol.
my viper investment is unrealistic 
My viper can still upgrade skill 2 and reset OL to increase ATK and find Hit rate.
If this were done, damage should be about same as PriM with neutral Boss. 
Probably
bro says not really but every post here is seen viper in a shotgun team

If there is a new DPS SG B3 instead of PriM
Might be able to play Viper + Marciana instead of Leona + B.alice.
If the new DPS doesn't need Leona's buff......
care to remind me on what leona does
is it hit rate?
Hit Rate and Increases pellets for PriM
uhh, hit rate, pellets, crit, effective range and crit dmg, everything that a SG dps wants?
lol
The effective range is good, but the added range is too short to barely see the effect.......
Leona is needed for PriM more than SG team needs Leona.
the core units for sg team are tove and msoda
msoda... 
B.Alice buffs Viper too, but you can't use them together practically since they both recycle the burst stage.
I failed to screenshot, but it's amusing and impractical.
just need a 20s b3 
that's her most optimal team except it has no practical use
it's like you put Crown and Naga for Laplace
I mean, sure
but who does that in serious content
viper simps will do that
Could you please tell me what your viper OL do you have ?
gimme 5 mins, my OL for her is unrealistic
How many rocks did that take?
maybe around 25-30?
ohh you rerolled them quite a bit
The final idea is that
Viper is essentially meta when there is no core and water weak
When there is a core, neutral element units tend to outdps her, units such as Alice, SBS, redhood, mod
xLud obviously is better
why no core tho? half the ppl with viper treasure have her skill 2 at 10 and black hit rate lines xD
sg and rl can't really exploit core as well as all the other weapon types (so no amazing damage increase when core is present) but sg's performance is generally better for no cores compared to the other weapon types
against water weak? or against neutral weak?
Water weak

tbf, she can reach 90% hit rate on her own with her inate 40,5% hit rate + 4 OL, in the new ol stone economy having 4 ele, 4 hit rate, 3 atk and 1 ammo isn't that outlandish
I have 4 ele, 2 hit rate, 2 atk and 1 max ammo on her already and thats with a total of 9 stones invested
Try on Harvester
Dorothy viper xLud SBS crown
Or
Dorothy viper SBS Alice Crown
Maybe use liter if you want to since you have SBS 
would it make any difference?
they died with 5s left
Can you tell build of xLud, SBS and viper
@misty sigil oh this is good actually because your viper did exactly as much damage as deo's
You can check the difference between built SBS and xLud compared to a built viper here
The fact that ditching viper gave more damage is also smthng to look out for
It's not about investments, it's about the gain
It seems that units like MGs and SRs simply gain more from core hitting 
Vs nihilister this would be a completely different story
Viper would dominate almost all of these units, even xLud
with liter
sbs died with 2s left
Try changing viper to Alice now, don't burst with xLud
crown died at 7s, then liter at 5s, then sbs and alice at 2
for the record, im doing all these tests on my phone 
very useful getting 9 viper mats 
I just got my viper last treasure upgrade, what’s the verdict on her. What sort of team would she be usable in, in terms of SR? What about her investments
Treasure raises her to a Mid tier water DPS who occupies slot 5 (flex) in a team due to being B1.5
Good News! We have almost no high tier water DPS units! So bring her out any water weak soloraid.
OL's should be elemental damage since she's unlikely to see use dealing neutral damage.
Teams: Crown is her best friend due to synergy with Crown S1, and Crown giving the team durability which lowers the pressure to swap Viper for a healer in the flex slot she occupies.
Possibly worth swapping bunny alice for her if shotgun team doesn't need the healing? I haven't seen the math done for that one yet, but presumably her damage is preferable to Bunny Alice's reload & stack count buffs.
not bad for this solo raid
I guess he has viper stage 3 so he has to use another b2
He has he he
7/7/7 the beat breakpoint for people who isn't whaling books

10/10/10 only if the character is insanely broken, ~~or you whale enough ~~
4 is more then enough for her second skill
the other 6 level only add about 15% hit rate iirc
unless you want to reach 90% without leona then you need it at 10+ 4 good rolled OL
Should be up on prydwen
Share here as well cuz I don't remember what I put there
no pins
Yeah cuz I don't remember it 
If Cinderella is Water like it's hinted we'll need Viper for 2nd Anni SR 
i 10/10/10 bc she is best unit 
I am left with Viper’s and Frima’s treasure to do. Is Viper’s of higher priority than Frima’s? It looks like ppl’s opinion on Viper treasure has changed.
Yes
Is it just because we don’t really have a true damage team yet?
It’s because they sabotaged Frima
Let’s talk about recent Massive Object solo raid
Boss starts with a thick shield and it blocks Frima’s on-full-charge-hit debuff
So she can’t stack it for the first or even second burst unless you quickly break it by then
Without that stack, she can’t activate her true dmg selfbuff, which is needed to do the true dmg teambuffs
Oh and she needs it ready before she bursts
It can’t in the middle of the burst, RIP
So what happens? With the phase transition QTE, and the start of battle thick shield, Frima basically has what I felt like 50% uptime on her true dmg teambuffs
By that, I meant, half the time you expect to have it, you won’t
That kind of uptime
So my “true damage team” did only ~500m. It was in the 440m or so.
Honestly it's because a generic water DPS is way more useful than a niche B1.
We can only ever take 5 B1s, while we can take up to 15 DPS.
Even if viper only sees use for water weak raids that's at least a reliable use
And until like another 5+ water DPS are released she's in no danger of being powercreeped out of soloraid use
While Anachiro being B1 will basically be the nail in Frima's coffin
Im thinking of getting her treasure after diesel
Is it a good idea? I already have laplace
Lack of water dps
No water dps exist
Apart from xLid
Situationally emidlia
Maybe rem but she replaces blanc-noir at best
Also true damage is gimmicky
The main issue with true damage (as well as majority of Nikke's with DEF▼ debuffs) is that defence usually isn't really that big of an issue outside of PvP, meaning that true damage only provides a relatively small boost to damage; unless the units with true damage are very strong to begin with, one is better off just using stronger units
Elemental strength, on the other hand, is the most meta method of damage production we have, and, as Snake said, Water is on the thin side atm 
high def will be annoying if applied to mobs
mother whale screams
and it's not ideal for laplace, but laplace burst technically MG
SMG
and MW converts raptures into something else
true damage can't bypass 1 dmg check
hes figuring it out 
He's cooking
SU pls cinderella b3 water sg 

it'll be RL like noah 
SG Burst 3 sounds a lot like Isabel
Now I sorta dread some event where Cinderella and Isabel fuse into an alter
drake treasure 💯
Just make drake S1 and S2 X5 and it's done
They don't need to cope sustained damage or re enter B3 shits on her
Drake skill is so strong she performs at 1/1/1
and doesn't scale at 10/10/10
that shit crazed

Yeah from 7% to 11,85% is kek
If they make her some cope like true damage in burst or re enter B3 gosh

cindy to be b3 water dual smg
her weapon can be like: Mirror the damage dealt by your team

then you burst with Alice
that shit crazed
Smg smh
then solo raid boss on cinderella banner has charge speed debuff
cinderella provides remove debuff
-100% charge speed
