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
폭발 보호막바이는 시간이 흐르면 보호막이 1회 충전됩니다. 이 보호막은 적을 스킬로 적중시키면 활성화됩니다.
Strong: hitting an ability grants her a shield, softening your trade-back. Weak: the shield is small and one-time — burst through it.
Q
금고 부수기바이가 건틀릿을 충전하여, 두꺼운 금고도 뚫을 위력의 타격을 가하며 전방으로 돌진합니다. 부딪힌 적들은 뒤로 밀려나고, 찌그러뜨리기가 중첩됩니다.
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
찌그러뜨리기바이의 주먹이 적의 방어구를 찌그러뜨려 추가 피해를 가하며 공격 속도가 상승합니다.
Strong: shreds armor and ramps her attack speed the longer she hits you. Weak: needs sustained autos — disengage before the stacks build.
E
끈질긴 힘바이의 다음 공격이 대상을 관통하여 뒤에 있는 적들에게 피해를 가합니다.
Strong: empowered auto that cleaves and resets her attack timer. Weak: melee range only — kite her out of auto range.
R
정지 명령바이가 적을 추격하며 중간에 걸리는 유닛들을 옆으로 밀어냅니다. 대상에 다다르면 공중으로 띄워올리고 뒤따라 점프하여, 바닥으로 쿵 찍어누릅니다.
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.
