THE DIABOLICAL LANE

Extra Charge
800 souls
Extra Spirit
800 souls
Mystic Burst
800 souls
Tankbuster
The ultimate cheese item, we rush this to confirm bullshit kills and to make our engages better.
Trophy Collector
Trying this out, should sync with the goal of causing mayhem and being rewarded for downtime while doing boxes and camps
Extra Health
800 souls

HARD LANE? (optional)

Extra Regen
The all-arounder safety green
Healing Rite
800 souls

PEEL DEUX (optional)

Spirit Shredder
free spirit lifesteal + damage amp, a little bonus gun inv. for fun
Mystic Vulnerability
1,600 souls

POST-LANE (Loose L-R, get the greens early if you need them)

Boundless Spirit
NON-NEGOTIABLE! You need all of this damage early to keep snowballing. Best in slot as it buffs all of your damage
Rapid Recharge
NON-NEGOTIABLE! RR + Max daggers essentially turns off your dagger cooldowns as long as you don't miss a dagger
Fortitude
Going back to base SUCKS! Fortitude should let you stay out in the field for longer and let's you run boxes and camps faster.

AVOID DYING!

Cheat Death
Wanna feel like an asshole and get out of ridiculous circumstances? CD + MC, add on Unstop if there's turbo CC
Unstoppable
With MC you get a sizeable amount of Unstop time, get this before cheat death if they have a ton of CC, hypothetically skippable if you're winning hard

PATH OF THE TYPER (optional)

Colossus
Testing required, being on top of someone makes hitting daggers easier, Col gives you a lot of tankiness and a move speed slow aura that'll make you threatening to approach
Indomitable
Is there a really nasty pick character on the enemy team (Bebop, MoKrill, etc?) ID can save your life when you can't afford to lose it
Plated Armor
Your best friend against assassin side laners (Haze mainly)

PATH OF THE SPYPER (optional)

Radiant Regeneration
Tons of healing from spamming daggers off cooldown and the bonus movespeed should also make you slippery.
Spirit Burn
Procs in 1-2 daggers late game or a single bola late game, helps to secure some kills that just barely get away from you
Mystic Reverb
Needs more testing, shouldn't be bad in an extended fight because by the time it's off cooldown again, you'll have 5 stacks of dagger

PATH OF THE HYPER (optional)

Tesla Bullets
Very good item for the build that you can pick up after TB if you're more used to traditional Vyper. You're building a lot of spirit and your fire rate is still crazy so TB will do a lot.
Quicksilver Reload
Vyper normally loves this item anyways, gives you more damage on dagger and some better
Capacitor
Upgrade TB and add shocking touch to your wizardly arsenal. Land the zap on someone and make landing daggers unfathomably easy. Also increases the shock damage from TB so even more spirit scaling dmg.

TESTING REQUIRED (optional)

Spirit Rend
I try to stick to the Dose but theoretically good in games with heavy spirit resistance
Stalker
Theoretically an early buy, more testing required but should be good against slippery opponents with the reveal + bonus move speed
Spellslinger
6,400 souls

COUNTER (optional)

Metal Skin
Cheaper gun assassin counter (good into Drifter)
Counterspell
It insists upon itself. (It's Counterspell for crying out loud, you press F and you can block key ultimates)
Dispel Magic
If you need to purge key debuffs (Mirage, Haze, Warden Snare, Vindicta Snare, Slowing He etc)

Skill order

Screwjab Dagger	1	·	·	·	5	6	7	·	·	·	·	·	·	·	·	·	·	·	·
Lethal Venom	·	2	·

Stamina Mastery

THE Vyper item, this plus two points in slide and you have ILLEGAL amounts of stamina. Plus with MC you've basically acquired Celeste air mobility

Magic Carpet

Lets you go deep and RAT with much lower risk, especially with the CNS update adding so many new nooks to slip into

Witchmail

Testing required, you only have 3 cooldown abilities so in an extended fight this should theoretically be an amazing item. Pair with RR to heal even more

Siphon Bullets

6,400 souls

Spellbreaker

Do not skip out on SB against heavy burst (Lash, Apollo, etc) this WILL save your life

Escalating Exposure

If the enemy is stacking a lot of spirit resist and you think the fights will be long, EE fits very nicely into the dagger playstyle

Surge of Power

More dagger damage, more move speed, more fire rate, all around a great item to pair with QSR and MM

Ricochet

Expensive item but speeds up camp clearing a lot, good if you're uncontested on enemy camps and want to rinse their side of the map

Mercurial Magnum

6,400 souls

Shadow Weave

Hypothetically a funny item, if the enemy team likes to jump you when you go for a pick, engaging someone alone with SW should give you a couple extra seconds to get the kill and get out

If you need cheap anti-heal, the heal on kill is nice, too

Restorative Locket

Needs testing, should be a great item into ability spamming comps.

Enduring Speed

If you really need slow resist, pairs with Fort to make you rotate very fast

Juggernaut

If there's high fire rate you need to contest with, pair with suppressor to really knock them down a peg

Focus Lens

A counter item but also theoretically a very funny item for this build, makes it hard to run from you and they can take a lot of damage from the active effect, just make sure they're not petrified.

Suppressor

Cheap 1.6k item that gives you a lot of skirmish power against high fire-rate

Mystic Slow

Stacks with your dagger slow to make it very easy to land on enemies, probably good against small hitbox characters

Compress Cooldown

If you feel like you need petrify more, CDR isn't the most important thing to have on Spyper since RR serves it well enough

Disarming Hex

Obligitory counter item (Haze, Wraith, Infernus, other M1 carries)

Silence Wave

Obligitory counter item (Pocket, Lash, Abrams, Rat King, Baba, other ability carries)

Knockdown

Obligitory counter item (Grey Talon, Vindicta, Holliday, Celeste, Magic Carpet users, Bebop, Seven, Lash, basically anyone with a big fuck-you ability)

Decay

Obligitory counter item (Honestly might be a good general item for the build too, build into Abrams, Shiv, Silver, anyone who likes healing a lot really)

Slowing Hex

Obligitory counter item (Mina, Infernus, Pocket, Celeste, anyone with an annoying movement ability)
