Viper is a common kit that gives good armor, a decent weapon, slowness pots, and the ability to apply poison to your enemies on hit 

What the kit gets

Viper is a common kit, and costs 500 coins to unlock. 

At level 1, the kit gets:

+ Leather helmet

+ Iron chestplate

+ Chain leggings 

+ Leather boots

+ Iron sword

+ 3 Slowness 1 splash potions (0:36) (+1 every kill)

+ Poison 1 (0:03) applied on hit

The level 2 upgrade costs 1000 coins, and consists of:

+ Iron chestplate → Iron chestplate (protection 2)

+ Chain leggings → Chain leggings (protection 2)

The level 3 upgrade costs 1500 coins, and consists of:

+ Iron chestplate (protection 2) → Diamond chestplate 

Why should you get this kit?

+ Good armor. Although the armor at level 1 is pretty weak, it gets much better as you upgrade viper, and at level 2, it's already as good as having 7 armor bars, and at level 3, it's as good as having 7.5 armor bars!

+ Poison on hit. The poison can do lots of tick damage to your enemy and mess with their movement, slowing them down.

+ Slowness pots. These can slow your enemy down just enough for you to get a combo on them or chase them down, combined with the powerful poison tick damage. They also last for 36 seconds each, which is a long time, and you get 1 more on each kill.

How to play this kit

Viper is an aggressive kit that's based off fighting your enemy face to face and using your pots and poison to prevent them from escaping.

You should go right into fights, and be really aggressive. Keep fighting and give your enemy no time for anything, and constantly attack them. The poison helps a lot with this, because it can reduce the knockback your enemy takes, keeping them close to you and under high pressure.

You should throw a pot right before you enter a fight, because this helps you a lot with getting the first hit and potentially comboing your enemy. You should splash them every time the slowness expires, which you can see from the particles on your enemy, keeping an upper hand the entire fight and applying constant pressure.

Skill Cap

Viper has a medium-low skill cap, because it's primarily based off melee PVP, however, it takes a good amount of skill to effectively aim and throw pots.

What this kit counters

Viper counters kits that heavily rely on speed, such as sonic and enderman, because the sheer power of the debuffs viper provides is enough to nullify the effectiveness of speed. 

Also, Viper counters Archer and Zombie because Viper puts a lot of pressure on these kits and prevents them from gaining distance, which prevents these kits from effectively using their abilities.

How to counter this kit

Viper is countered by solid melee kits with superior gear, such as default and boxer. These can tank the damage that viper does and beat them face to face.

Other tick damage kits such as dragon and bone matter are also good against viper because they have superior gear, but also have tick damage, which removes the uniqueness of viper's poison.

Trivia

+ Viper has the exact same armor and armor progression as Zombie.

+ The 3 seconds of poison will apply no matter what item you're holding.

+ If you do damage in the same tick as the poison damage, this will bug out and cause you to do double the damage.

+ If you have an inventory full of soup and kill someone, it will replace the leftmost soup in your hotbar with a slowness pot.

+ As of the time of writing, when you kill someone, the pot you get on a kill will not show in your inventory due to a visual bug. These “ghost pots” will stack until there's 64 total. They will appear when you either click the pots in your inventory or splash one.

+ The pots will only add to the leftmost stack, and if that is empty, the leftmost stack of the row above that in your inventory, and so on. But if you have 64 in that leftmost stack, no pots will be added. You can bypass this by sacrificing a soup slot to split the pots and therefore allow more pots to be added into the leftmost slot.

+ Since there is no limit to the amount of pots you can have, you can theoretically get a full inventory of them. 

Summary

Viper is a solid kit that gets great gear and offensive capabilities. It takes a bit of skill to use at its best.

That's it for the kit review, comment below on what you think and what kit I should do next!

Only 15 views is kind of crazy.

Lol

DO DEFAULT 100%

TRUST

GL finding default tips :D

yES, that's a challenge

Default tips: 

+ Default is the only kit along with enderman that has no leather pieces at any level 

+ Default is the only common kit other than fisherman to get a diamond sword

Also 

+ Default used to not exist in old KitPvP, the default kits unlocked were Archer and Fisherman

Thats kinda insane

didn't actually expect you to say any tips and stuff

More like this please!

Existant is really enjoying these kit reviews lol
