Viscous Community Build
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!
Early Game
0 to 15 minBuy left to right. Use Splatter (1) whenever it's off-cooldown and constantly poke your enemies. If you're struggling, buy a Lane Extra, such as Healing Rite or Extra Regen, then sell it later.
Lane Extras
OptionalBuy ONE if struggling to remain in lane, to not miss out on souls. Buy Healing Rite if you plan to get Rescue Beam!
Mid Game
15 to 25 minBuy left to right. You can pick a different Vitality Tier 3 than Rescue Beam, from the category right below. If you seek more mobility, consider Warp Stone or Stamina Mastery.

Optional & Situational
OptionalItems in this category aren't part of the core build, and do not have any form of left to right priority. They are all useful in their own ways, and got annotations for you to understand why to pick them and what they do. You can pick them to experiment and make your very own build!
Creator Notes
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!
Creator Notes
Mystic Shot and Express Shot are two items that can be bought instead of the gun items found in the build. They'll allow you to deal extra burst damage when using your Alt Fire. This is typically used at the same time as Splatter to increase the burst potential.
