Viper Job Guide for FFXIV — Endwalker 6.58
Viper is a melee DPS job in Final Fantasy XIV that dual-wields swords to quickly strike their foes. Viper is capable of combining their weapons to create a twinblade, unleashing even more devastating attacks. Viper can be unlocked in Ul'dah after reaching level 80 and owning the Dawntrail expansion.
Dawntrail's New Melee, Viper
Announced at the European Fanfest in October of 2023, Viper will be the newest Melee Job released with the upcoming expansion, Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail, expected to launch in the Summer of 2024. According to the information given to us, Viper will dual-wield swords which can be combined to form a twinblade, obliterating their foes with fast strikes.
While Viper will be considered a Melee DPS, it will share gear with Ninja, which uses Dexterity based gear rather than Strength. To add on to this, the only things required of players to unlock this new Melee Job is to have purchased the Dawntrail expansion and have one other Job at level 80 or higher. Viper's unlock and class quests will begin in Ul'dah, making it accessible regardless of MSQ progression.
