Excepting his first ability, ''Splatter'', all of his abilities can directly move him, allies or enemies or have some interaction that can move him. Viscous' various movement techniques can be comboed into each other, and sometimes sequences do not have names, and are instead referred to as the combination of the..." |

''Puddle Punch'' is Viscous' third ability, in which he materialises a goo fist that deals Light Melee damage. ''Puddle Punch'' is one of the few abilities in the game to directly displace you and enemies with velocity; in this regard, it can be considered similar to the Soldier's rockets in Team Fortress 2. | ''Puddle Punch'' is Viscous' third ability, in which he materialises a goo fist that deals Light Melee damage.

When casting there is a short delay before the fist comes out, in which the fist has not materialised and is a goo puddle. This gives an audio cue, which can allow the enemy to parry ''Puddle Punch''. | When casting there is a short delay before the fist comes out, in which the fist has not materialised and is a goo puddle.

''Puddle Punch'' can be cast on any surface in the game. This includes the skybox and incredibly small pieces of geometry, such as the curbs on the sides of lanes. ''Puddle Punch'' will always materialise perpendicular to the targeted surface. | ''Puddle Punch'' can be cast on any surface in the game.

When [[ | When [[Dashing]], your velocity is intended to be set to a set sequence; this means that normally, Dashing disregards all previous momentum; this makes it a generally bad option for moving fast around the map in all situations. | ||
When being boosted by ''Puddle Punch'' while Dashing, your ''Puddle Punch'' will "stack" velocity with (i.e. add to) the velocity of the Dash. This results in a consistent forward velocity of ''1430±10'' u/s. | When being boosted by ''Puddle Punch'' while Dashing, your ''Puddle Punch'' will "stack" velocity with (i.e. add to) the velocity of the Dash.

**Wall Punch Dashing** is considered a staple of advanced Viscous movement, and usually sets up movement sequences. The technique is useful in all stages of the game; during laning phase you can effectively move around the map quicker for ganks; during mid-game this can lead to fast rotates and easy chases, and during late-game this can be used as an escape tool with your team. | **Wall Punch Dashing** is considered a staple of advanced Viscous movement, and usually sets up movement sequences.
