The Piltover Enforcer. Vault Breaker charge ganks, Denting Blows armor shred stacking, and Assault and Battery unstoppable lockdown.
Jungle Diver · The Piltover Enforcer.
Vi Abilities Overview
Vi's passive, Blast Shield, grants a shield when her abilities hit enemies. Vault Breaker (Q) charges up a dash that deals damage and knocks back enemies, with damage scaling based on charge time. Denting Blows (W) marks enemies after three hits, shredding armor and granting attack speed. Excessive Force (E) empowers her next auto to deal AoE damage in a cone. Assault and Battery (R) targets an enemy champion, knocking them up at the destination — Vi is unstoppable during the charge. For full details, check the LoL Fandom Vi page.
Vi Jungle Pathing
Vi has a healthy first clear due to her passive shield and W attack speed. Start Red or Blue buff depending on which lane you want to gank at level 3. Q start for AoE damage, E for single-target burst. Her ganks are strong at level 3 with Q gap-close + E burst — look for lanes with CC setup. After 6, Vi's ult is one of the best ganking tools in the game. Opt for full clear into scuttle crab, or 3-camp invade if against a weak early jungler. Read more about Vi on Wikipedia.
Vi Teamfighting
Vi excels at picking off isolated carries with her ultimate. In teamfights, identify the enemy carry and use R to lock them down — your team should follow up. After ulting, use Q to reposition or peel for your own carries. W armor shred helps your ADC kill tanks faster. Use E auto resets for burst damage between Q and R. Against peel-heavy teams, wait for key cooldowns (shields, dashes) before committing your ult. Vi's main weakness is being kited — approach fights from flank angles and use E smite when possible.
Vi Build Path
Core items for Vi include Eclipse for the shield and max-health damage, Trinity Force for spellblade procs and all-around stats, and Black Cleaver for armor shred that synergizes with W. Sterak's Gage provides tenacity and a shield against burst. Guardian Angel for revive insurance. Death's Dance for damage delay against burst. Boots are Plated Steelcaps against AD or Mercury's Treads against AP/CC. Runes: Hail of Blades (keystone) for fast W proc, Sudden Impact, Eyeball Collection, Relentless Hunter, with Triumph and Legend: Alacrity secondary.
Vi Matchups
Vi excels against immobile carries and duelist junglers who can't match her point-and-click lockdown — champions like Karthus, Evelynn, and Kindred. She struggles against peel-heavy supports and comps that can interrupt her Q charge or kite her ultimate. In the jungle, she out-duels most tanks (Sejuani, Amumu, Zac) but struggles against early-game invaders like Graves, Lee Sin, and Xin Zhao who can counter-gank. Against teams with multiple dashes, hold R for after they commit mobility. Find more matchup details on the LoL Fandom guide.
