Viperian is an A-Rank Graveborn Mage who sacrifices his own HP to damage enemies, but can heal himself back when his HP drops too low through his Skill effects.
His Ultimate Skill, Spiritual Viper, passively sends out Darkvipers to possess enemies, reducing his HP until it reaches 60% and while deploying them, he becomes Unaffected. Darkvipers drain enemy Energy and deal Damage over Time. If his HP drops below 30%, he recalls a Darkviper to heal himself. On activation, it damages all possessed enemies and the nearest target, or possesses one if none are.
His First Skill, Soul Ravager, targets the enemy with the highest HP, dealing damage and healing Viperian for the same amount.
His Second Skill, Enchantment Fang, passively makes Darkvipers do Tearing Bite, dealing damage to all possessed enemies every few seconds. On Activation, Viperian sacrifices 10% of his max HP to enhance the damage of the next Tearing Bite and reduce enemies' energy.
At Mythic+, Viperian unlocks a Third Skill, Crimson Waltz, sacrificing 30% HP after 10 seconds into battle (if he is above 90% HP) to damage all enemies. He’s Unaffected while casting, and the skill recasts itself every 30 seconds. At EX +10, Darkvipers triggers Tearing Bite twice when this skill is used.
Now, for a quick overview of his performance in the various game modes:
Story and AFK stages - Viperian isn’t used much in this gamemode anymore, as there are other characters that can deal with multiple enemies at once and inflict Crowd Control while at it.
Dream Realm - Viperian is not viable in this gamemode and likely always will remain that way as his kit focuses on dealing damage to multiple enemies, while Dream Realm content is primarily single enemy focused content.
PVP - Viperian was used in nuke teams during Season 0, but nowadays is not used anymore because not only does he have to sacrifice HP, but he also only gets one big attack before his DPS drops significantly. Furthermore he doesn't typically deal enough damage to nuke the enemy team like other characters used for the same purpose due to them having better supports in use.
Conclusion
Viperian is a character that has fallen out of the meta due to his atrocious damage for the HP cost, especially with characters like Shemira now doing his job more effectively.
If ever Viperian gets buffed or returns to the meta, it's worth investing up to Supreme+ for stats and EX Weapon +10 for added damage and utility.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Energy reduction through Darkvipers.
Cons
Shemira outperforms Viperian by doing everything his kit offers but with much higher total damage scaling and can target one enemy at a time.

EX Investment
Since the
Temporal Essence
and
Twilight Essence
are very hard to obtain, you have to be really careful with the using them to upgrade the EX weapon. And in this guide we ordered all characters by the priority when it comes to how much they need investment in their EX weapon to work well and where should you stop to get the best bang for your buck.
Color explanation:
+X - where every character starts,
+X - the next step that you should do when investing into that character - for some characters this will be enough,
+X - the final step you should do when investing into that character - you can go beyond that later though once you have the Essences to spare.
