Gameplay style

Vi is primarily played as an assassin/diver/fighter, leveraging their melee combat style to dominate in jungle. Since their release in Patch 1.0.0.153, players have come up with a bunch of different strategies and builds to maximize Vi's potential.

As a physical-focused champion who uses Mana to cast their abilities, Vi requires players to carefully manage their resources while positioning effectively to deal maximum damage. The champion's design makes them particularly effective against squishy targets like ADCs and mages, allowing for quick kills in fights.

Vi's story

Raised on the mean streets of Zaun, Vi is a hotheaded, impulsive, and fearsome woman with very little respect for authority. She has always been a shrewd survivor, both from her youthful troublemaking topside and an unfairly long stint in Stillwater Hold. Now working with the Piltover Enforcers to keep the peace instead of breaking it, she wields mighty hextech gauntlets that can punch through walls—and criminals—with equal ease.
