Vi Guide
Patch 26.19 Diamond+·Difficulty:
This is Conqueror Vi, a bruiser who dives the one target that decides the fight. Trinity Force is your first spike, so rush it and base the moment it is done. R is a dash and a CC, never your damage: bait their escape with Q first, then R the target who cannot dodge it. Never take a fight with R down. You are not a solo carry, so before you go in, ask which teammate can follow you.

Quick Tips
All phases
- •R is a dash and a CC, never your damage: bait their dash with Q, then R where it ends
- •Walk in calmly and charge Q late, once their dash is gone a full Q cannot be walked out of
- •Never take a fight with R down; farm to the next fight instead
- •Name your R target in the loading screen: the carry who matters most and cannot dodge it
- •Q then Flash just before the dash ends lands on top of them; Flash while charging gets past a body block
- •Into Wukong, wait for his W and then R him, it stops his escape and cancels his R too
- •Kha'Zix and Rengar beat you early, so track them and skip the early fight
- •A fully charged Q held at a bush is free information: they run or they eat it
- •Chasing? Do not attack unless it kills; walk beside them until Q is back
- •Bait Q before you R into Fizz, his E cancels your R if you go first
- •Burst build? Swap to Hail of Blades, it lands your attacks before the Q knockup ends

Early Game
Before 1st item
- •Vi is one of the weakest level 1 junglers, so do not contest a level 1 invade; play safe at your first camp
- •Q is an escape at level 1 too: charge it at a wall and hop out if they invade you
- •Gank from level 3: walk in close first and only then charge Q, most laners panic and burn Flash
- •In a long early duel, hold your second E until the passive shield is back instead of dumping everything
- •Before 6, fight only when you have Flash and even numbers; otherwise full clear
- •From 6, R is point and click, so a lane with no Flash and a laner with CC is a kill
First Back
Regular full clear & crab
Core Build Examples
Default
vs heavy AP
vs bruisers and tanks
Burst vs squishies
Mid Game
1-3 items
- •Base the moment Trinity Force is done, one more camp after the spike costs you the fight you would have won
- •Never fight with R down, and never fight with your next item still sitting in your gold
- •Fight in and out: Q, attack, E, back off while Q comes back, then go again
- •Below about 40% health stop kiting and fight it out, walking away only feeds them free damage
- •Before you R, ask what they can do when you land; bait the dash or Flash with Q first
- •R alone is an attack with a knockup, so R the target your team can follow up on
- •On Dragon and Baron, tap Q once and finish with attacks, keep Q and E for the contest

Late Game
4+ items
- •Your engage is easy to read now, so Guardian Angel is what lets you go in first and still live
- •R then Flash during the dash lands on top of a target who times a dodge or an invulnerability
- •Flash to the side during R to knock up a low target on the way to your real one
- •R the carry you can reach, not the tank in front and not a support who does not matter
- •Against a mobile diver, hold R to peel for your carry: it stops the dash and cancels their CC
- •R ignores CC while you dash, so use it to push through a stun they are about to throw
