Poison Cloud

Poison Cloud is a basic ability for Viper. 
==Description==
Poison Cloud is a Vision Blocker ability that Viper must equip before casting. Upon casting she throws an emitter forward that sticks as soon as it comes into contact with a horizontal surface. Viper can use Primary and Alt Fire to control the length of the throw; Primary Fire throws the emitter at long range while Alt Fire throws it at short range. During the buy phase the emitter can be picked up to regain the charge, but once the round has started it cannot be recalled.
While deployed, Viper can activate the ability to cause the emitter to create a smoke that rapidly expands from the emitter's location. Vision within the smoke is obscured. While active, the smoke consumes Fuel. If Viper runs out of fuel, or upon reactivation, the smoke will expire, rapidly shrinking. Viper can then reactivate to reform the smoke once more as long as she has replenished enough fuel to spend. There are short cooldowns between uses whenever Viper turns the smoke on or off.
Enemy agents who come into contact with the smoke are affected by Toxin.
===Fuel===
:Main article: Passive Effects → Fuel 
Viper has a Resource Bar of Fuel. Activating Poison Cloud requires Viper to consume Fuel. However, if Viper also has Toxic Screen activated, the combined use will consume Fuel at a faster rate. If her fuel levels run out, Poison Cloud automatically deactivates and Viper must wait for her fuel levels to replenish. Viper must have a minimum number of Fuel to activate Poison Cloud.
===Toxin===
:Main article: Passive Effects → Toxin 
If an enemy agent comes into contact with Poison Cloud, their health will decay. They will instantly decay upon contact, then continue to decay afterwards. If no longer in contact, the debuff will remain for a few seconds before their health begins to climb back up to a maximum of how much HP they would have if they had not been affected, taking any damage and healing taken while they were decayed into account.
