EA's Maxis studio reveals another of the heroes from Darkspore in this trailer, which shows off Viper "the Toxic Ravager," one of the 25 characters in the upcoming action/RPG. Word is: "From a basic attack called Venom Blade that poisons enemies, to Virulent Vines, an ability that roots a single enemy in place and afflicts him with a disease that spreads to others, Viper’s formidable powers make him a particularly potent and lethal warrior. Viper’s squad ability, Thornado – which enables him to rapidly spin in a circle, releasing poisonous thorns in all directions – is another way Viper causes widespread damage. The new Hero Spotlight Video gives gamers a sneak peek into increasing the effectiveness of Viper’s poisons via the Hero Editor, in order to make him the perfect Darkspore Hero."
