Viper

Viper, the Netherdrake, is a ranged agility hero who can function as an excellent nuker, ganker and carry due to his assortment of low-cooldown spells and debilitating auto attacks. Farming with Viper is relatively easy—Nethertoxin makes clearing creep waves and neutral camps a cinch—and combined with Corrosive Skin, he becomes a formidable tank with high damage output; Poison Attack and Viper Strike ensure he can whittle down even the most impervious targets. In particular, Viper excels against lineups that rely on magic damage in the early-midgame. However, he needs to actively participate in team fights before opponents can afford items to counter his spells and exploit his weaknesses. Between talents, the special properties of Nethertoxin, and Poison Attack, Viper can retain his power far into the late game.
