How to beat Vi

Common role: Jungle

An armored bruiser who locks onto one target and blows them up.

What makes Vi dangerous

Vi charges a Q dash to knock you back, shreds armor with her passive and W, and her ultimate (R) is a targeted, unstoppable knock-up that ignores everything in the way — a guaranteed pick on a carry. She dives the backline and cannot be peeled off mid-ult.

How to play against Vi

• 1Respect her R: it is targeted and unstoppable. Save Flash, Zhonya's or QSS for the moment she ults you.
• 2She is weak in the early jungle and reveals herself when charging Q — interrupt it with any CC.
• 3Group with your team: alone you are her ideal R target, together she gets peeled.
• 4Buy armor and health — her whole combo is physical and front-loaded.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓No hard disengage — once her Q and R are down she is just a bruiser.
• ✓Her ultimate hits only one target; a grouped team can peel it.
• ✓Weak, telegraphed early clears — easy to invade or counter-gank.
• ✓Kitable: without Q charged she has little gap-close.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Vi's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Schockschild

  Vi lädt einen Schild über Zeit auf. Der Schild kann aktiviert werden, indem ein Gegner mit einer Fähigkeit getroffen wird.

  Strong: hitting an ability grants her a shield, softening your trade-back. Weak: the shield is small and one-time — burst through it.

• Q
  Mauerbrecher

  Vi lädt ihre Handschuhe auf und entfesselt einen mauernerschütternden Hieb, der sie vorwärts trägt. Gegner, die sie trifft, werden zurückgestoßen und erhalten 1 Steigerung „Zermürbende Hiebe“.

  Strong: a long charged dash that knocks you into a wall for a stun. Weak: it reveals a charge-up and can be interrupted by any CC — punish the wind-up.

• W
  Zermürbende Hiebe

  Vis Hiebe zerstören die Rüstung des Ziels, verursachen zusätzlichen Schaden und gewähren ihr Angriffstempo.

  Strong: shreds armor and ramps her attack speed the longer she hits you. Weak: needs sustained autos — disengage before the stacks build.

• E
  Schlagkräftige Beweise

  Vis nächster Angriff stößt durch ihr Ziel und verursacht Schaden an den Gegnern hinter diesem.

  Strong: empowered auto that cleaves and resets her attack timer. Weak: melee range only — kite her out of auto range.

• R
  Anzeige ist raus

  Vi rennt einen Gegner um, wobei sie jeden, der im Weg steht, zur Seite stößt. Sobald sie ihr Ziel erreicht, schlägt sie es in die Luft, springt hinterher und schleudert es wieder zu Boden.

  Strong: targeted, unstoppable knock-up that flies through everything to reach a carry. Weak: single target only — Flash, Zhonya's or QSS negates it, and grouping lets your team peel.

Itemization

Armor and health counter her hardest: Plated Steelcaps, Frozen Heart, Randuin's Omen, Thornmail. Carries want Zhonya's or a QSS to survive her ult.
