Early Game

Focus on melee items that synergize with Viscous’s Puddle Punch (3). Start with Extra Charge, Melee Lifesteal, and Spirit Strike in any order. If you're struggling to last hit, consider buying High Velocity Mag early or using Puddle Punch charges. Spirit Strike reduces enemy spirit resistance; follow up with Splatter (1) and Mystic Burst for early burst damage. Add Extra Health and Mystic Reach to round out the build.

Late Game

With Viscous's ult and mid-game items providing basic survivability, late game should focus on tankiness. Purchase Spirit Armor and Bullet Armor, and upgrade them as needed. Upgrade Extra Stamina to Superior Stamina for increased agility. Depending on enemy composition, choose between Colossus or Phantom Strike for counters, or Frenzy for more gun-focused gameplay.
