Viper, the Netherdrake[edit]
| Recommended Roles |
 Carry  Durable  Initiator  Disabler
|
The malevolent familiar of a sadistic wizard who captured and hoped to tame him, Viper was curiously glad to have been sprung from the sealed and unchanging subterranean Nether Reaches where his race had lived for millions of years, after tectonic slippage had sealed off the Netherdrakes in luminous caverns. Viper spent some time appearing to submit to the wizard's enchainments, hoping to learn what he could of the dark magics the mage practiced. But he soon realized that few spells were as deadly as the toxins that were his birthright. Exuding an acid that swiftly ate away the bars of his cage, the Netherdrake slipped free of his confines, spit poison in the old spellcaster's eyes, and soared out to let the world know that it had a new master.
Launching deadly poison from a distance, Viper poses a grave threat to whomever he targets. As his various toxins eat away at an enemy's health and slow their movement, Viper simply does what he does best: he keeps adding more poison.

Corrosive Skin
EE

| Damage Per Second | 8/16/24/32 21/29/37/45 |
|---|
| Attack Speed Slow | 8/16/24/32 16/32/48/64 |

It is not unusual for sword and shield alike to corrode in the very hands of those who attack the Netherdrake.
Viper Strike
RV
Viper slows the targeted enemy unit's movement and attack speed while also dealing poison damage over time. The slowing effect reduces over the duration of the poison.
| Damage Per Second | 80/120/160 240 |

| Movement Speed Slow | 40%/60%/80% |
|---|
| Attack Speed Slow | 40/60/80 |

Increases the cast range, decreases the mana cost, and decreases the cooldown. | |
| Blocked by Linken's Sphere and echoed by Lotus Orb. |
Once used to slay his sadistic summoner, the most powerful of Netherdrake infections spreads through the veins of those foolish enough to cross Viper.
