Welcome to Deadlock! ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ So you want to play Viscous but don't know where to start? This build will help you learn a brawler-type playstyle: Puddle Punching! ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ DISCLAIMER: Puddle Punch is currently in a questionable spot. This build might or might not perform as good as it once used to, and is subject to change. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Puddle Punch (3) is used to displace targets, this includes enemies and allies alike. It can be used on yourself to boost around the map. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Puddle Punch (3) can be parried. If enemies are parrying it, try to bait them into wasting their parry by targeting around them, but not them directly. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Viscous is one of the few characters to have an Alt-Fire (Right Click). It shoots a projectile with a short range that explodes. You can use it to poke your enemies around cover during laning phase!

Concerns of The Deep? I'm Goopin'

"Expelling goo!" The 5th build in the "Concerns of The Deep" series, made for beginners and for fun. They are not aimed to be the most meta builds. This one is oriented around Splatter (1). You'll be goopin' all over them and dealing huge damage! Extra Credit goes to VeMi! Feel free to join the Viscous Discord: https://discord.gg/jD3Cauw6n5

Welcome to Deadlock! ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ So you want to play Viscous but don't know where to start? This build will help you learn his most basic playstyle: Splatter! ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Splatter bounces once by default, and 3 times when fully upgraded. Always try to throw it in a way that'll make bounces hit your target for additional damage! ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Viscous is one of the few characters to have an Alt-Fire (Right Click). It shoots a projectile with a short range that explodes. You can use it to poke your enemies around cover during laning phase!
