Vi Build
Best Build Guide for Vi
Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Bruiser : if you're new to Vi, i recommend stick with Bruiser. This build will make you tank damage. after clearing wave, your first recall item is Sheen , because it will helping us to clear jungle fast, and we will spam a lot of spells, so we can use Spellblade passive from Sheen . after that, you may proceed with the rest of the bruiser build.
Lethality : Vi can be assassin AD jungler too, with the right item, of course. we gonna build Duskblade of Draktharr as our first item, because flat amour reduction and also nightstalker passive from it. you can use it for surprise your target with extra damage, from nightstalker passive.
For enchantment use [Locket Enchant] because you will diving a lot, and that plus [vi:2] will mitigate some damage from turret and champions.
CONSIDER THIS!
Dead Man's Plate | You may want to build this on bruiser build, but you have to replace Youmuu's Ghostblade as momentum do not stack. DMP is useful for tanking more damage and the Crushing Blow passive from DMP will make your team easier to land skill shots as full momentum attack will slow your target. |
Force of Nature | You're tired against Teemo or Akali who spams their skills? use this item and replace Death's Dance with this item. This is mitigate the damage of their spammed skills. |
Randuin's Omen | Crits Crits Crits, yeah a lot of crits from your opponent's ADC. well say hello to this item. this will slow their attack speed and reduce the crit damage to you. |
For both builds
Blade of the Ruined King : as we know in this patch this item got nerfed for ranged champions (i agree on this. Every ADC BUILD THIS ITEM, AND THAT SHOULD NOT BE.) However not for melee. This item got buff on the on-hit damage. 9% damage on max hp isn't a joke.
Vi Runes

We going to use it as bruiser because Conqueror means long engagement, and bruiser is perfect for that.
Brutal is for fast clearing jungle, and 7 AD is insane value
Spirit Value well, ez health.

Vi Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
Master Yi need three items to be great. you just need one item. you have a lot of cc to break him. do not afraid to fight him as you can cancel his Meditate with Vault Breaker or Assault And Battery
Vi's Friends of Justice
Yasuo | Assault And Battery will make the target knocked up, and knock up is what Yasuo need to use his ultimate, Last Breath . |
Jinx | Jinx will need help to land her Super Mega Death Rocket! to full use, and you can help her with your cc combo. not only that, Flame Chompers! will root them plus Zap! will slow them, making your engage more easier for you. talking about sisters helping each other out, but your sis is a criminal. |
Miss Fortune | Bullet Time is deadly if the target cannot escape it, and you will ensure that escape never happen with your cc combo. |
Malphite | Malphite and Vi combined? it is time to deliver justice to them! let him use his Unstoppable Force first and use your Assault And Battery to the farther champion. combine it with Yasuo and it is a WRAP. |
Early - Mid Game
"Hello miss Vi, time to knuckle up and get ready to punch the criminals."
Vi need level 5 to gank, and you can clear jungle fast if you able to master her auto-reset combo. same as level 5 jungler, reset if you don't see any gank potential at all.
Vi can gank on her own as Vi able to engage from long distance but only for one target. make sure that your target is high-value target such as ADC or mid laner, which will determine the result of teamfight. if you to get one or two kills and your dragon lane (still call it bot lane BTW) is pushing, it is time to get drake.
However if you failed to getting one or a summoner's spell or even worse, your ADC or you died in the process, do not think it is over yet (unless it is Draven getting the take down in the process) and your job is getting another objective such as Shelly or baron lane turret (top lane) and farm for mid - late.
Mid - late
This where Vi will not shine bright as much as early game, unless you're building her as Lethality Vi, as you still deadly to everyone.
Vi will be tank as bruiser do not build damage item for late game, instead, you will be the team's initiator for ganking. you must able to lock down their damage dealer or at least they will spend a summoners like heal or even flash.
Vi can tank a lot of damage as Bruiser Vi thanks to her kits with Blast Shield and [Locket Enchant] plus Sterak's Gage . remember, you will be sacrificing a lot of your damage for securing your opponent crucial death.
However, let's talk about Lethality Vi as this is where Lethality Vi shines on. Lethality Vi trade her tankiness for 100% damage. you will be deadly to everyone because your damage is still incredible and also can fight back as [vi:passive] gives you attack speed bonus. think of her as Evelynn in this time as she hated teamfight but loves skirmishes , you must be smart to find some opportunity to kill your opponent's ADC or mid lane and securing your win.
