Viper's Pit is an ultimate ability for Viper.
Description[]
Viper's Pit is a Vision Blocker ability that Viper must equip before casting. Upon doing so a circular indicator will appear in front of her. This crosshair will turn green if it is placed over a viable position to be cast in, and will turn red for unviable positions. Upon casting, Viper will create a large chemical cloud. This cloud will originate and spread out from her location but once fully formed will have its center at the location that the indicator was in on activation.
Once formed, the cloud will remain indefinitely so long as Viper remains inside. If she exits the cloud it will begin to lose integrity, putting it on a timer that will disappear if she reenters the cloud in time, restoring it to full integrity. If Viper does not reenter the cloud before this timer expires, the cloud will expire, causing it to fall down and disappear. Viper herself can cause the ability to end by recasting and holding the ability key.
Vision within the cloud is obscured. Enemy agents who come into contact with the cloud will be affected by Toxin. Enemies within the cloud will be outlined in red once they enter vision range, have their minimap obscured, and do not provide minimap detection to their allies.
Toxin[]
If an enemy agent comes into contact with Viper's Pit, their health will decay. They will instantly decay 30 HP upon contact, then continue to decay for 1 HP every 0.1 seconds (10 HP/sec). If no longer in contact with the chemical cloud, the debuff will remain for 1.5 seconds before their health begins to climb back up at a rate of 1 HP every 0.04 seconds (25 HP/sec), up to a maximum of how much HP they would have if they had not been affected, taking any damage and healing taken whilst they were decayed into account.
