 <wrap retailsemibold>Splatter</wrap> is <viscous_sm> Viscous' first ability. Casting <wrap retailsemibold>Splatter</wrap>  throws an arcing projectile that explodes into a puddle of goo when it hits a surface. The projectile itself, and the goo explosion both deal damage (but only one or the other can hit per target). The goo left behind by the explosion applies a ''35%'' [[statuseffects:movement_slow|movement slow]] to enemies in its radius. <wrap retailsemibold>Splatter</wrap> is <viscous_sm> Viscous' first ability.

 <wrap retailsemibold>The Cube</wrap> is <viscous_sm> Viscous' second ability. In it, he encases an allied player in a rejuvinating goo cube. <wrap retailsemibold>The Cube</wrap> can be self-cast onto yourself or cast to a teammate. A player in <wrap retailsemibold>The Cube</wrap> is inactionable, invulnerable to losing health and is given additional regeneration. It is useful for protecting teammates from large burst damage, ultimate abilities, and killing blows. <wrap retailsemibold>The Cube</wrap> is <viscous_sm> Viscous' second ability.

-Viscous cannot zoom with his gun – right-click is instead used for an alternative-fire option (truncated to alt-fire). While some other characters (<shiv_sm> Shiv and <yamato_sYamato) have their own alternate-fires, “Alt-fire” will be used to refer to Viscous’ specifically. +Viscous cannot zoom with his gun – right-click is instead used for an alternative-fire option (truncated to alt-fire).

-Alt-fire explodes in a ''6'' metre radius[citation needed] after a lifetime of ''2'' seconds (travelling ~32m). It also explodes if it hits an enemy target. The alt-fire is effective at poking enemies behind cover, bursting targets (especially to kill them), and when running low on ammunition. It has a base damage of 63 (over 6x base Bullet Damage), but scales less effectively than Viscous’ primary fire. This means it is most effective during the laning phase.+Alt-fire explodes in a ''6'' metre radius[citation needed] after a lifetime of ''2'' seconds (travelling ~32m). It also explodes if it hits an enemy target. The alt-fire is effective at poking enemies behind cover, bursting targets (especially to kill them), and when running low on ammunition. It has a base damage of ''46'', but scales with boons at the regular rate. Alt-fire is usually most used during laning, with fringe uses with the <weapon> <wrap retailsemibold><color #9E6203>Weapon</color></wrap> items <item_express_shot> <wrap retailsemibold>Express Shot</wrap> and <item_split_shot> <wrap retailsemibold>Split Shot</wrap>.

Line 110: Line 125:
 Using the alt-fire incurs a gun timeout (to both primary-fire and alt-fire) which prevents shooting for ''70'' ticks (''1.16'' seconds). When either a light or heavy melee's hitbox comes out (heavy melee’s ‘windup’ doesn’t count) during the gun timeout period, the timeout will be interrupted and extended.

[citation needed on this paragraph]
  
-To avoid a timeout extension, after alt-firing wait a moment before using heavy melee (timing depends on if melee connects to come out early). Light melee should not be used at all during the timeout or it will interrupt. <wrap retailsemibold>Puddle Punch</wrap> does not interrupt the timeout, so it can be used freely. +===== General Playstyle =====
