Valorant: tips for players looking to get better with Viper
Post-plant ability
Normally, once a bomb has been placed, the timer ticks away for 45 seconds before the bomb finally goes off. It takes 7 seconds to defuse the bomb. This means, post-plant, players need to keep the enemy team away for 38 seconds. Luckily, Viper’s post-plant ability adds 13 seconds to the enemy team’s clock. And during this time, they can’t defuse the bomb.
With this ability, your team only has to keep enemies at bay for 25 seconds.

Stay in the smoke
Viper’s smoke can be used in many ways, but one of the best ways to use involves staying inside the smoke. The thing is when you’re inside the smoke, the smoke clears up 250 milliseconds before your enemies see the smoke clear up. This means your screen is smoke free before your enemy’s, giving you a small window of 250 milliseconds to take them out.
Drop Ult
Like most of her abilities, this too can be used in many ways but can be particularly helpful when the game is about to end. If you find yourself with one enemy left, you can try this out. When you’ve planted the bomb and surrounded the area in your Ult, get out of your toxic Ult and find a decent position. Now you wait till your enemy is near the bomb and drop the Ult like shown in the video. Catch your enemy by surprise and take them out!

Viper utility is perfect to disorient enemies and make them take (or not take) certain paths. Smoke walls can be put up in strategic positions, and if the player is aiming in the direction of the wall, once the opponent comes out of the wall, all the player has to do is pull the trigger.
Molly
In certain maps, throwing in the molly in the beginning while the buy phrase barrier hasn’t gone down can get players a significant advantage. Time it right, and you can get your enemies right when they’re about to peek at you.
