Trackpad Chad's Viscous Jumpscare

Extra Charge

A viscous without 3 puddle punches is an angel without wings

Spirit Strike

Flat damage. Can grab early if you can secure a kill with it.

Spirit Snatch

Built from Spirit Strike

This shit is your gas. It stacks when you hit multiple.

Cold Front

The Cold Front stays on during sex. Can grab this before spirit snatch if you need a green 1600. Good for flash farm and waveclear.

Mystic Expansion

Can skip if needed, but fills 4.8k. Put on either splatter or punch. Punch lets you proc snatch easier, splatter makes bounces more consistent.

Monster Rounds

Graves, Rem, or McG

Slowing Hex

Kill Wraith.

Spirit Sap

Cold front alternative for people who don't have sex. It's better than you think.

Phantom Strike

The Viscous Jumpscare. Still probably Viscous's best T4 item. Good ball item, disarms, flat damage, interrupts flight abilities, good stats, and even has seat warmers

Superior Cooldown

CD is always nice.

Transcendent Cooldown

Built from Superior Cooldown

Pair this with resto locket, stamina mastery, and rapid recharge for that ULTRAKILL cybergrind round 200 experience

Spirit Burn

'Ol Reliable

Boundless Spirit

Damage. It's aight, not high priority.

Focus Lens

Built from Spirit Sap

Evil item. Use this to vibe check people who don't buy unstop/cleanse. Alternative to arctic blast.

Cursed Relic

Always handy

Stamina Mastery

Really fun when combined with rapid recharge and resto locket. The extra air jump is what you want to be looking at.

Rescue Beam

Good fallback plan, and your best option against Black Hole.

Dispel Magic

Staple item. You'll want this against Warden.

Spirit Resilience

Spirit resist. Don't buy this when you're behind.

Fortitude

Lets you stay on the map forever

Veil Walker

For meta whores who lack shame

Healbane

Antiheal. Good winmore item.

Trophy Collector

For meta whores who lack shame.

Return Fire

Great for ball builds, puts in a lot of work after the buffs. Also, this item destroys Graves skulls when people shoot you.

Enchanter's Emblem

'Ol Reliable

Weapon Shielding

When you're in goo ball, enemy gun accuracy is effectively 100%. Barrier + goo ball resist = high EHP

Spirit Shielding

Pair this with weapon shielding if you go ball as your 3rd ability. Otherwise, don't bother.

Reactive Barrier

I hate mo and krill

Healing Booster

Built from Extra Regen

Puddle punch doesn't damage for shit, but 72% lifesteal on a spammable aoe seems crazy. Pair this with lifestrike if they can't parry for shit.

Extra Stamina

Buyable. Very cheap, and good value.

Melee Charge

Maybe.

Crushing Fists

Built from Melee Charge

Give me liberty give me fire buy rebuttal and I retire.

Diviner's Kevlar

Ballin', but at what cost?

Silencer

Trust the process.

Recharging Rush

Defeated by the F key. Mystic Shot better.

Intensifying Magazine

Viscous sucks as an M1, but he's hard to shut down when fully set up. You can hold m1 + m2 to use intensifying mag for alt fire, but it's not that good.

Long Range

Better than you think. Check out Iben's build 695037

Swift Striker

Viscous tends to burn through stamina a lot, so Kdash ends up having worse value.

Titanic Magazine

Your gun is in an awkward spot in terms of mag capacity, fire rate, reload time, dps, etc. Titanic mag actually helps a lot for m1 builds.

Spirit Shredder

Cost/performance just isn't there. There may be potential in stacking all shreds for goo man as he has full access to Spirit Snatch.

Split Shot

I'm still shaking and crying when Felgorn obliterated an E6 lobby with his whack ass 60k alt fire build

Headhunter

Built from Headshot Booster

It's worse than Express Shot in almost every regard, and 3200 is expensive for flat damage. It's not unbuyable though.

Alchemical Fire

Great for teamfight heavy metas, and +10 spirit is great for Splatter. It has anti-synergy with Puddle Punch though.

Ballistic Enchantment

Built from Mystic Expansion

At maximum potential, it's 48% damage for puddle punch, and raw weapon damage doesn't help much. Express shot maybe goes hard for fistcous?

Berserker

Probably works better than BE because Punch's lifesteal goes hard

Blood Tribute

Pairs well with Berserker. You just need to flick the item to reduce debuff duration.

Heroic Aura

People say that this item is secretly OP, but it's not. It's good for speeding up waves if you're Rem.

Hollow Point

It's just ass.

Hunter's Aura

Shreds are generally more efficient than +dmg for melee, but PP gets the most value when fighting crowds. Therefore, doesn't deliver.

Point Blank

Built from Close Quarters

It's 15% Punch Damage. Technically the most cost effective, but it is the king of nothing.

Shadow Weave

The melee damage ain't shit, but the other stats aren't terrible for Splatter/Gun hybrids

Sharpshooter

Built from Long Range

Not compy, but better than you think

Burst Fire

Needs the right build to work, and not the highest priority. Splatter sliding isn't that useful

Spirit Rend

Built from Spirit Shredder

Too slow, but punch builds are pretty tanky so maybe? Exponentially stronger when your entire team buys this

Cultist Sacrifice

Built from Monster Rounds

Not worth it.

Crippling Headshot

It's ungodly expensive, but this is a sleeping giant that's waiting to be buyable

Capacitor

I tried to use this for ball build before. It doesn't really work lol

Glass Cannon

Wake the fuck up. You're spending 6400 for -13% health and 24% punch damage.

Spellslinger

This item actually goes hard for punch builds, but you're not going to be buying ten billion T4s unless you're in shitlow

Spiritual Overflow

Pretty good for Splatter/Gun hybrids

Sprint Boots

Builds into TC and Veil Walker, which are both compy

Debuff Reducer

It's not good alone, but it's great when you have another source of debuff resist.

Enduring Speed

Built from Sprint Boots

Motherfucker. You are playing a hero with 4 movement abilities, and you want to WALK?

Guardian Ward

Built from Grit

60s CD makes this hard to buy, but it's pretty good for earlygame. Usually Cube makes this redundant.

Majestic Leap

Not really necessary, but it's fun for cheesing urn. You can boost maj leap with puddle punch

Healing Nova

Built from Healing Rite

Don't buy this shit. You're not a healer.

Lifestrike

Built from Melee Lifesteal

It's actually worse than radiant regen, and can be parried.

Metal Skin

If it's a reactive buy, it's too late. Doesn't help against spirit m1s either.

Cheat Death

Extremely niche buy for ball builds. It's not unbuyable.

Colossus

Built from Extra Health

It always seems good when you look at it, but it never delivers.

Divine Barrier

Built from Guardian Ward

Situational buy (Pocket, Drifter, etc), and other supports have an easier time slotting this in.

Healing Tempo

Built from Healing Booster

Has potential for punch builds, but Viscous is not a healer. This item is balanced around heroes that AoE heal.

Indomitable

Built from Reactive Barrier

For when they buy curse for you

Infuser

We might be back to this after Splatter nerfs took reverb off the radar

Leech

Visc can't get good use out of it. Too expensive.

Bullet Resilience

It's total shit, but enemy weapon accuracy is basically 100% when you're ulting, so maybe?

Plated Armor

This item sucks alone, but it's really strong if you have other anti-bullet items.

Spellbreaker

Built from Debuff Reducer

This item might have more value after the mystic shot + TB nerf, but single instance in a spirit meta just makes it ass.

Unstoppable

Built from Debuff Reducer

If they have 2+ CC heroes, don't go ball. Unstop will not help you.

Witchmail

Fun item.

Arcane Surge

Built from Extra Stamina

Buyable. Not as potent after splatter nerfs. When the buff is active, it applies to your items.

Bullet Resist Shredder

Cost/performance isn't there, but there's potential in making a shredder build.

Compress Cooldown

Good item. Place on Splatter, Cube, or Ball.

Duration Extender

Duration ain't shit until T3 Ball.

Mystic Vulnerability

Usually other heroes buy this, so it ends up being wasted value for Viscous during teamfights. Just buy Snatch + Sap.

Quicksilver Reload

Visc usually initiates fights with Splatter, so the reload ends up being wasted. Not worth.

Mystic Slow

It seems nice for ball builds, but Visc just can't manage a good uptime for this item without other items

Improved Spirit

Built from Extra Spirit

It's aight.

Suppressor

Better than you think, but Visc is starved for damage so you can never buy this.

Decay

It's like a second tankbuster + antiheal

Disarming Hex

Built from Rusted Barrel

Staple.

Knockdown

'ol reliable.

Radiant Regeneration

Built from Mystic Regeneration

Secretly broken, but doesn't fit in my build.

Silence Wave

Long ass CD, but silence is really good for vibe checking. However, expecting coordination in pubs is foolish.

Superior Duration

Built from Duration Extender

If you have this + T2 Cube, then the duration is long enough for you to guarantee maj leap.

Surge of Power

Built from Extra Spirit

28 Spirit is 45-96 Splatter damage at T3. Considered, but 3200 is expensive.

Torment Pulse

I feel like shit, I just want Torment Cube back. Yoshi took the fucking kids.

Echo Shard

Lowk still good, but Splatter nerfs have severely reduced item choice.

Ethereal Shift

I've considered this item, but there's always a higher prio T4.

Escalating Exposure

Built from Mystic Vulnerability

Super lategame item. Pairs well with Spirit Burn.

Lightning Scroll

Built from Mystic Slow

Don't buy this shit lol

Magic Carpet

Actually really fun for this build, but the lower gravity ends up working against goo ball, and there's less opportunity to buy due to Splatter nerfs.

Mercurial Magnum

Built from Quicksilver Reload

The extra bullet damage is not affected by charge time. There are builds that make this work, this build isn't one of them.

Vortex Web

Built from Slowing Hex

Meet Potential Man.

Mystic Reverb

Harder to buy after Splatter nerfs, but should still be good as a super lategame item.
