Viper
Introduction
“Among the myriad beasts of Tural, a select few awaken to preternatural power, becoming what are known as tural vidraal. To overcome the threat of these almighty beings, hunters studied one of nature's deadliest predators─one capable of overcoming foes greater even than themselves: the viper. They are swift and agile, with dual blades like fangs to bite, or combine into a single weapon to weave about the battlefield. Named for the serpent that inspired their fighting style, the vipers of Tural remain steadfast in their duty to defend the people.
The viper's close-range fighting style, passed down by Turali hunters for generations, uses quick and decisive strikes with two one-handed blades alongside powerful flourishes from a combined two-handed weapon. Once a foe is weakened, they empower themselves with the strength of their ancestors to deliver a powerful and decisive finishing blow.

Job mechanics
Official Lodestone Job Guide (Always up-to-date)
Viper uses twin blades to deal swift attacks against enemies. Their weapons can be joined to a single double-edged weapon for stronger attacks, which will also change their idle stance. Their rotation includes numerous off-global cooldown (oGCD) abilities, making it a relatively busy job. Viper's core rotation revolves around maintaining damage and haste-granting buffs on the user along with debuffs on the enemy, while using a sequence of weaponskills that define subsequent ones to use. Similar to samurai, viper does not have any party damage buffs, making it a "selfish DPS".
To limit button bloat, many of Viper's weaponskills are assigned to a single hotbar slot, and many of their oGCD attacks are condensed into a few buttons that change the available action depending on the context, similar to gunbreaker's Continuation.
Vipersight and Serpent Offerings Gauge is Viper's Job Gauge.
Vipersight Gauge
Viper engages enemies mainly through the use of three-step combos, their primary combos beginning with either Steel Fangs or Reaving Fangs. The third step can end with one of several weaponskills, each of which grants an effect to strengthen a different combo-ending action. To reach these actions will require the use of specific combo routes.
The glow of Vipersight's blades correspond with the outlining of hotbar icons to indicate the next step in a combo. Following these indicators will help ensure the use of combos that finish with a strengthened attack.
Upon learning the trait Viper's Rattle, the use of certain weaponskills will grant a Rattling Coil, up to a maximum of 2 stacks, indicated by Vipersight. Rattling Coils can be spent to execute Uncoiled Fury. |
Upon learning the trait Enhanced Viper's Rattle, a third Rattling Coil can be stored. Rattling Coils are accumulated through the use of certain actions, and can be spent to execute Uncoiled Fury. |
Simple Mode
Serpent Offerings Gauge
Upon learning the trait Serpent's Lineage, the use of certain weaponskills in the execution of combos will serve to fill the Serpent Offerings Gauge. Once sufficient energy has been stored, you can activate Reawaken, which will open the Anguine Tributes on the gauge. These tributes can be used to execute several special weaponskills unique to your reawakened state.
Upon learning the trait Enhanced Serpent's Lineage, a fifth Anguine Tribute will be added to the gauge.
