Rattan Vipers
By Amya · Updated 2026-07-14
Veterancy Line what to spend your points on. Nodes unlock as the unit levels.
Recommended veterancy- Top Line: maximizing the Poison Barrage (spell 2). 3 volleys by default. With Vet ROF + a ROF doctrine = 4 volleys, all applying Poison Spread passive - Bottom Line: more about constant DPS, hitting isolated units repeatedly to stack the poison passive on them - Top Line is overall better since it massively increases impact during blob pushes. Bot Line is situational vs small groups (rare) - The Poison V doctrine is NOT mandatory: most of their strength comes from the Poison Barrage passive, you rarely stack poison on the same unit repeatedly
Skills & Formations
Playstyle
- Mastery (poison barrage / spell 2) allows for a really great poke of poison AOE DMG
- The barrage spreads a lot even if only few arrows hit, or your unit is already half dead: the value stays the same
Doctrines
Highest level you can.
Mandatory
Top Pick
Epic Archery Doctrine IVEpicIncreases piercing damage by 100.
Precision Doctrine VEpicIncreases piercing damage by 120 points.Increases piercing armor penetration by 80 points.Increases rate of fire by 9%.
Bowmanship Doctrine VEpicArrow Rain deals 75% of the unit's base piercing damage with each hit.Increases piercing damage by 150 points.
Top Line build is kinda whatever as long as you have at least one ROF doctrine (Precision V has +9% ROF): that adds +1 volley to spell 2. Bot Line is the loadout above.
Poison V allocation tip: if you only have one Poison V doctrine across your warband, prioritize Rattan RoundShield and Rattan Pikes first, Vipers benefit less from it than the others.
