 +//Puddle Punch// is <viscous_mm> Viscous' third ability, in which he materialises a goo fist that deals Light Melee damage. //Puddle Punch// is one of the few abilities in the game to directly displace you and enemies with velocity; in this regard, it can be considered similar to the Soldier's rockets in Team Fortress 2. 
 + 
 +When enemies parry //Puddle Punch//, damage and knockback is negated. This also counts as a parry against <viscous_mm> Viscous; items such as the <vitality> <color #7CB125> Vitality</color> item <item_rebuttal> Rebuttal procs on a successful parry on //Puddle Punch//. 
 + 
 +When casting there is a short delay before the fist comes out, in which the fist has not materialised and is a goo puddle. This gives an audio cue, which can allow the enemy to parry //Puddle Punch//.  
 + 
 +The knockback that //Puddle Punch// gives varies based on the distance from the centre of the fist; the closer you are to the centre, the more velocity you will have afterwards and your resulting trajectory will align with the direction of the fist. When hit towards the edges, your trajectory may vary from side to side, and velocity might be transferred from forwards velocity to sidewards velocity. 
 + 
 +//Puddle Punch// affects <viscous_mm> Viscous, his allies and the opposing team; this can be used for advantageous movement for him and his team or to directly displace his enemies. 
 + 
 +//Puddle Punch// can be cast on any surface in the game. This includes the skybox and incredibly small pieces of geometry, such as the curbs on the sides of lanes. //Puddle Punch// will always materialise perpendicular to the targeted surface.

-<viscous_mm> Viscous’s third ability, //Puddle Punch//((by default, 3)), spawns a giant goo circle that after a short pause, will spawn a goo fist that damages enemy characters and can boost yourself. By upgrading once, you can unlock a second charge of //Puddle Punch//.+Intentionally being hit by //Puddle Punch// to displace yourself is called **//Puddle Punch// Boosting**. //Puddle Punch// Boosting is a broad term meant to describe the act of displacing yourself, and encompasses a litany of smaller, more refined techniques.
  
-**Puddle Punch Boosting** is the act of using //Puddle Punch// on yourself to boost your speed. Speeds vary on player position relative to the fist, and can range from ''~700—1000'' u/s. Try to put yourself where the very edge of the fist will be, as that results in the most horizontal distance and speed. While boosted, you can [[universaltech:bunnyhopping|bunnyhop]] to conserve some of the momentum from //Puddle Punch//, or [[universaltech:jump|Air Jump]] to gain more height.+The basic //Puddle Punch// Boost is timing your //Puddle Punch// so that it hits you when you are airborne; by casting on a vertical wall then jumping, you can gain significant velocity; depending on your positioning relative to the fist, this can be upwards velocity or forwards velocity. 
  
-Air Jumping overwrites vertical speed to ''525'' u/s; for this reason, Air Jumping beforehand is advised.+//Puddle Punch// Boosting can be executed while in //Goo Ball// form. When this happens, this is called //Goo Ball// Punching.
  
-**Puddle Punch Boosting** can be useful for boosting to a higher place (such as a rooftop) or to quickly move away from a fight without using [[universaltech:stamina]]. It can also be used to conserve momentum from a [[hero:viscous#Wall Punch Dash|Wall Punch Dash]]. +</WRAP>

-<viscous_mm> Viscous’s fourth and ultimate ability, //Goo Ball//((by default, 4)), encases you in the titular //Goo Ball// and allows you to move around as a ball, which can rebound off vertical surfaces. By upgrading //Goo Ball// to the final upgrade, you can cast items and other abilities while in the ball.+When [[universaltech:dashing|Dashing]], your velocity is intended to be set to a set sequence; this means that normally, Dashing disregards all previous momentum; this makes it a generally bad option for moving fast around the map in all situations.
  
-**Goo Ball Punching** is the act of being in //Goo Ball// and using //Puddle Punch// to boost yourself. One //Puddle Punch// can boost you to speeds of ''~1000'' u/s, while a second can boost you to ''~1400'' u/s. While boosted, you can [[universaltech:bunnyhopping|bunnyhop]] to conserve some of the momentum from //Puddle Punch//.+When being boosted by //Puddle Punch// while Dashing, your //Puddle Punch// will "stack" velocity with (i.e. add to) the velocity of the Dash. This results in a consistent forward velocity of ''1430±10'' u/s.
  
-To execute, cast //Goo Ball//, jump, then cast //Puddle Punch// either under or facing you.+Since //Puddle Punch// affects your teammates, other players on your team can also use Dash //Puddle Punch//; this can set up gank parties and large escapes. However, your enemies can also use Dash //Puddle Punch// for their own movement (they do still take the regular damage).
  
-===== Wall Punch Dash =====+**Wall Punch Dashing** is considered a staple of advanced <viscous_mm> Viscous movement, and usually sets up movement sequences. The technique is useful in all stages of the game; during laning phase you can effectively move around the map quicker for ganks; during mid-game this can lead to fast rotates and easy chases, and during late-game this can be used as an escape tool with your team.

 +While in //The Cube//, the normal of the last touched surface is stored; this is speculated to be for velocity calculations while on slopes and ramps. During normal use while on the ground, //The Cube// acts normally and slides down slopes and ramps. This stored normal is not cleared while in the air; this means that if the last touched ground surface was a ramp, that normal will be stored, and the game will assume that you are currently on a slope and thus give you velocity in the direction of the slope. This phenomenon is called **Slope Acceleration**.
  
-**Wall Boosting** allows you to [[universaltech:wall jump]] without massive air drag.+The stored normal will not update through abilities, [[universaltech:transit_lines|Transit Lines]], [[universaltech:jumping|jumps]] and [[universaltech:dashing|air dashes]]. Upon touching the ground, the normal will be updated and acceleration reset.
  
-By combining **Wall Boosting** with //Puddle Punch//, you can traverse large horizontal and vertical distances. **Puddle Punch Wall Boost** launches you at a max of ''500'' units, at a peak speed of ''~1400'' u/s. The total distance travelled is comparable to a [[hero:viscous#Wall Punch Dash|Wall Punch Dash]].+To execute, be airborne and have your last grounded surface be a slope or a ramp. While airborne, use //The Cube//. You should observe //The Cube// being pushed whilst in the air towards the normal of the surface.
  
-**Puddle Punch Wall Boost** costs one bar of [[universaltech:stamina]].+The velocity is constantly stacked on while in the air; while using Slope Acceleration and given enough time, you will accelerate to extremely high velocities (maximum ~''2000'' u/s). 
  
-To execute, first place //Puddle Punch// onto a wall. [[universaltech:Jump]] and then [[universaltech:Wall Boost]]. If timed correctly, you will first Wall Boost then get hit by //Puddle Punch//, flinging you far and high.+Slope Acceleration also works in //Goo Ball// form. When exiting //The Cube// while in //Goo Ball//, your downwards velocity will be paused for a brief second.  
 + 
 +Slope Acceleration can be useful in conjunction with pre-defined rollouts; Slope Acceleration can allow for extremely fast traversal and rotations to predefined locations on the map. However, the usage of //The Cube// (an extremely powerful support ability) can limit the usefulness of this technique.

-By being hit by //Puddle Punch// then hopping on the [[universaltech:ropes|rope]], you can carry over the momentum into the rope climb.

Upon activation, you inflate into a large ball and move forwards at a constant velocity((Note that strafing does not increase velocity like normal movement; you will **always** move at this velocity)). //Goo Ball// has a radius of ''1.4'' m, or ''55'' units((‘’abilities.vdata’’, ‘’viscous_goo_bowling_ball’’, ‘’BallRadius’’)) and an hurtbox of ''1.8'' m, or ''70.9'' units((‘’abilities.vdata’’, ‘’viscous_goo_bowling_ball’’, ‘’BallHitRadius’’)). The radius increases with //+Ability Range//.
  
-The constant speed on the rope varies, but is typically around ''~620'' u/s.+Upon activation, you will start accelerating to ''445±1'' u/s over the course of a second. While in //Goo Ball// form, you have limited turning controls and are forced to always move forwards. You are able to accelerate to ''792.50'' u/s over the course of three seconds by holding (by default) M1, sacrificing turning control for speed. Upon hitting a wall, you pause for a split second then rebound off; if you were accelerating beforehand, you will have to accelerate back up to peak speeds from your base speed.
  
-To execute a **Puddle Punch Rope Climb**, place a //Puddle Punch// on a floor or ceiling, then grab onto the rope.

 +<item_majestic_leap> //Majestic Leap// (<color #ABFFE3><soul>3,200</color>) is a <vitality> <color #7CB125> Vitality</color> item. The active ability of this item allows you to leap into the air, then quickly descend.
  
-//[[itemtech:Majestic Leap]]// is a <vitality> <color #7CB125> Vitality</color> item that costs <color #ABFFE3><soul>3,000</color>. The active ability of this item allows you to leap into the air in a unique state, then quickly descend while in this state.+By rolling in //Goo Ball//, casting //Puddle Punch// onto a wall, bouncing off the wall then quickly using <item_majestic_leap> //Majestic Leap//, you can leap much further into the air than normal. This is called a **Frogpunch**. To execute this, you need to upgrade //Goo Ball// to its third upgrade, which allows you to use other abilities and items while in ball form.

Be near a wall and cast //Puddle Punch// on it in preparation. Bounce off the wall, use <item_majestic_leap> //Majestic Leap//, then get punched by //Puddle Punch//. The timing for the Frogpunch is tight. You have to bounce off the wall, cast <item_majestic_leap> //Majestic Leap//((Majestic Leap should be timed to match the moment of bouncing off the wall.)) and then get hit by Puddle Punch, in that order.
  
-In order to execute a **Frogpunch**, you need to have //Goo Ball// levelled up to the maximum level. This is to allow casting while in the ball. +This can be useful for traversing large distances or rotating; you can travel nearly half of the map using a single Frogpunch.

-The Cube((by default, 2)) is <viscous_mm> Viscous’ second ability. In it, they encase an ally in restorative goo that protects them from damage and increases health regen. While they are in the goo cube, they are unable to do anything other than cancel the cube using the jump key. You are able to self cast The Cube. 
- 
-The Cube itself is a solid object, and can push both allies and opponents. The Cube is able to be mantled onto and stood on top of.  
- 
-When entering the cube, you preserve all prior momentum. On the ground, friction is decreased((To a friction coefficient of 0.80)). In the air, standard air drag is applied((0.2)). This can enable characters to maintain their momentum from abilities or from prior movement.

- 
-//The Cube// has some interesting interactions with ramps, slopes and curved surfaces. 
- 
-When you jump off a slope or curved surface and then get cubed, you will begin accelerating in the direction of the slope/curved surface. Being pushed while in the air is called slope state. 
- 
-Once you touch the ground, the acceleration will be reset and slope state will update back to normal. 
- 
-Slope state will not update through: 
- 
-  * Cancelling //The Cube//((You will not accelerate while not in the cube.)) 
-  * Abilities 
-  * Zipline 
-  * Jumps 
-  * Air Dashes 
  
-This speed can allow you to cross the map from high places, such as the mid building. It can also be applied to other characters, for unique interactions with certain abilities. 
  
-This state can also be attained in Viscous’ fourth and ultimate ability, //Goo Ball//. When exiting //The Cube// while in //Goo Ball//, your downwards velocity will be paused for a brief second.
