Here's my idea for an equivalent to Vyper for spirit - challenging in early game but scaling insanely well into lategame. Obviously not meant to be as broken as Vyper but I don't know how to balance too well so it might be.
ALVARD
Alvard requires careful health management to deal devastating damage. Has a self-damage mechanic similar to Geist, but has more focus on ways to mitigate his self-damage and deals insane damage in lategame.
HEALTH: 600 + 60 per boon
REGEN: 2.0 + 0.02 per boon
MOVE SPEED: 7 m/s
SPRINT SPEED: +0 m/s
STAMINA: 3
SPIRIT POWER: +2.1 per boon
Fast-firing revolver
Falloff range 24m - 55m
18 ammo
75 DPS | 25 bullet damage (+0.1 per boon) | 3 bullets/second | 2s reload time | Bullet Velocity: 750 m/s
Deals Spirit Damage in an AOE cone several times. Each charge costs increasing Health to use consecutively, but hitting consecutive charges increases damage dealt.

A portion of all damage dealt is stored in Blood Bags. When an ability is cast, a portion of its health cost is drained from Blood Bags.

Summon an immensely sized ball of blood, launching it towards the ground to deal Spirit Damage and inflict Agony. Agony causes Damage Amplification from all targets. Charging up the ball gives it additional Damage, Range, and Agony amplification at the cost of health.
