Like the Seeker from the previous game, a Viper can bind a soldier in a strong strangulating coil.Plan accordingly by using explosives or placing more soldiers on Overwatch than normal. Vipers have an unusually high dodge stat, making "graze" shots - dealing reduced damage - more common.Plasma Blaster Shoots the Viper's gun at the enemy.She will then automatically use Bind on the target. Tongue Pull: A long range free action ability, that when hits, deals no damage, but pulls the target out of cover and right next to the Viper.Poison Spit : The Viper can spit a poison cloud that deals damage in an area, and also inflicts Poisoned on the target.A failed Bind attempt will trigger counterattacks by melee-capable targets. Vipers can only Bind humanoid targets - mind controlled Vipers can be used to Bind ADVENT soldiers, but not Mutons or MECs. Each round, the Viper can use Crush dealing damage to the unit. The target will be bound, unable to take any action, though the Viper will also be unable to shoot or move.

Bind and Crush: The Viper needs to be adjacent to the target for this to work, and it can still miss (albeit rarely).
