Vi Jungle Build Guides, Runes, Items, and Abilities

Vi, the Piltover Enforcer, is a powerful jungle champion known for her strong early-game presence and ability to control the flow of the game. Her mobility, crowd control, and burst damage make her a threat in skirmishes and team fights alike. Whether you're looking to dominate the jungle, secure objectives, or catch out priority targets, mastering Vi's builds, runes, and abilities is key to maximizing her potential. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to take your Vi gameplay to the next level.

1. Strengths

• Her early game Jungle power is a force to be reckoned with as she dishes out a lot of damage in any duel if she manages to land all her abilities. Her Denting Blows W allows her to tank with ease too.
• Very good objective control and sustain due to her Passive and her damage. Can easily get her team an early dragon lead, after successfully ganking a lane with her Vault Breaker Q.
• Her Ultimate Cease and Desist R can allow her to focus a target down, which has two uses depending on her role in the game. Either she can use it to peel someone off her carries, or she can use it to get to a high priority carry (like Vayne for instance).

2. Weaknesses

• Pre-6, if Vi misses her Vault Breaker Q when trying to gank a lane, she will have nothing to follow up with. She will be over extended and may even die for it.
• Her kit allows her to go in like a champ but she will have no way out after that. If she goes in too deep, she can easily be killed, which will translate to easy objectives for the enemy team.
• Falls off during the late game due to all the enemies building defenses. She is then left to either peel for her team or look for flanks in order to assassinate the enemy carry (probably at the expense of her own life).

• Vi is an early game Jungler. Gank frequently in the early game to get your allies ahead.
• Play around your Ultimate Cease and Desist R. Whenever it’s up, try to gank a lane. It is a great tool to pick up kills and abuse weak laners.
• Vi has good Dragon control in the early game. Try to secure every Dragon when possible to buff up your team.

• Q + AA + E + AA + AA: Start with your Q, then AA, E, AA and AA to proc your W!
• AA + E + AA + Q + AA + E + AA: AA then E, AA, Q, AA then E and AA to finish.
• AA + E + AA + R +AA + E + Q + AA + AA: AA your target then E and AA. R, then AA, E, Q, AA and AA to finish.
• Q + AA + E + AA + R + AA + E + AA: Use your Q then AA, E, AA. Use your R then AA, E and AA to finish.
• R + AA + E + AA + Q + AA + E + AA: R your target then AA, E, AA. Use your Q then AA, E and AA to finish.
• Q + FLASH + R: Charge your Q and Flash and then use your R!
• Q + AA + E + AA + E + AA + R: Use your Q, then AA, E, AA, E again, AA and R to finish.
• Q + FLASH + AA + E + AA + R + AA + E + AA: Channel your Q and Flash, then AA, E, AA. Use your R then AA, E and AA to finish.

1. Early game

• Your goal in the early game is to gank as often as possible to get your allies ahead. You are a strong early game Jungler, so make sure you try to exploit your early advantage.
• Look to secure objectives whenever they’re up. This will give your team an advantage as the game goes along.
• Find a healthy balance between ganking your allies, farming your jungle and securing objectives. Make sure you do not fall behind in XP by trying to constantly gank.

2. Mid game

• Continue to pick up and secure jungle camps whenever possible. Not falling behind in the mid-game is crucial as a Jungler, so make sure you continue to farm!
• As you’re a Jungler, you need to try and secure every Drake during the mid-game. Getting them and securing the Dragon Soul for your team will increase your chances of winning the game.
• Look for picks with your team. If you can pick someone off, make the call for Baron or Dragon to further your lead.

3. Late game

• After going in with your Ultimate Cease and Desist R, be prepared to fall back and peel for your allies in late game team fights.
• To make getting on the enemy backline easier, group with your team but stay off to the side. If you flank from an unwarded bush, the enemy will find it harder to react to your all-in. Avoid splitting or being away from your team in the late game as the enemy will force a fight while you’re gone.
• Play around your Ultimate Cease and Desist R in the later parts of the game. Avoid fighting unless your Ultimate Cease and Desist R is up. Fighting with out it will make the late game team fights much harder. Delay fights and be prepared to disengage if it’s still on cooldown.
