		+	==Strategy==
		+	Pit vipers move fairly fast at 15 [[speed]], and combined with their poisonous bites they can pose a deadly threat to a [[hero]] lacking poison resistance. Fortunately, their tendency to hide can potentially be exploited with ranged weapons, and obtaining poison resistance significantly weakens their damage output.
