Viper Armor
Viper Armor is the chest piece of the Viper School gear introduced in Hearts of Stone. It is light on the scale for medium armor and has very strong resistances, especially against poison and elemental damage.
It looks a lot like the Kaer Morhen Armor Geralt starts the game in, just with a different colour scheme. The rest of the armor set: gauntlets, trousers, boots.
The Viper blades that go with it are the Viper Venomous Steel Sword and Viper Venomous Silver Sword. The diagrams for the early Viper Steel Sword and Viper Silver Sword lie in White Orchard.
