Viscous Community Build
Concerns of The Deep? I'm Punchin'
"Goo hits harder than you think, doesn't it?" The 1st 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 Puddle Punch (3), melee and your gun. You'll be punching anyone in your way! Feel free to join the Viscous Discord: https://discord.gg/jD3Cauw6n5

Optionals & Situationals
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 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!
