Gun Goo with Intensifying Mag
Build Description
Viscous has a very well rounded kit that allows him to build multiple ways. This build focuses on mag capacity and fire rate, with very little spirit damage. Not many people expect Viscous to be heavy in gun damage, which means you can frequently catch them off guard. Your early game will revolve around landing splatter and using the Cube well. Mid-game is when you shine most. You can duel pretty much anyone, and you are more of a split push threat than many realize with tons of gun damage and great escape potential with your ult.
