Melee Splash SupportAllows your Viper Strike hits to deal splash damage to nearby targets. Pairing this support with the Ancestral Call support will result in large areas of overlapping damage.
Ancestral Call SupportAllows Viper Strike to target two additional nearby enemies. Pairing this support with the Melee Splash support will result in large areas of overlapping damage.
Deadly Ailments SupportReduces hit damage in exchange for more ailment damage. This allows the poison inflicted by Viper Strike to deal far more damage over time.
Melee Physical Damage SupportGrants more melee physical damage for Viper Strike. This support also increases the amount of damage inflicted bleeds and poisons do.
Multistrike SupportCauses Viper Strike to repeat an additional two times, as well as providing a large bonus to attack speed.
Vile Toxins SupportIncreases the damage of poisons applied from Viper Strike. In addition your Viper Strikes hits gain 5% more damage per poison on the enemy.
