Guide

"Goo hits harder than you think, doesn't it?" The 1st build in the "Concerns of The Deep" series, made for beginners and for fun. They are not aimed to be the most meta builds. This one is oriented around Puddle Punch (3), melee and your gun. You'll be punching anyone in your way! Extra credit goes to Amba! Join the Viscous Discord: discord.gg/viscord
