Vi ARAM Build 26.22

C

Vi charges Vault Breaker across the bridge and crashes straight into the packed enemy team, her Blast Shield soaking the poke on the way in. Cease and Desist locks onto the one target that matters and knocks everything else aside to reach it, while Denting Blows shreds the tanks holding the front. Build bruiser and dive the clump over and over.

Vi Item Build

A packed front line often keeps Vi from reaching the carry her ultimate wants, so attack damage goes to grinding through the tanks in the way, and Denting Blows makes that pay by breaking their armor as she punches. Health and resistances keep her alive inside a fight she has to fully commit to, and every ability she lands pops Blast Shield for another layer of mitigation.

Best Vi Runes

Hail of Blades suits how hard Vi commits once she launches into the enemy clump on the Abyss. Vault Breaker and Assault and Battery both crash into a team with nowhere to scatter on the choke, and Denting Blows keeps her chewing through whatever she lands on. Build the durability that lets her come out the other side of the pile.

Vi wants Sundered Sky first, then Eclipse, so she can dive into the enemy clump and live through it. There is no safe backline to hide on the bridge, and Vi thrives on that, charging Vault Breaker through the group and locking her Assault and Battery onto a priority target. Build the bruiser stats that let her survive the pile she just jumped into.

Vi Skill Order

Vault Breaker is maxed at 9 and Relentless Force finishes at 13, which leaves Denting Blows on its opening rank until 14: the armor break and attack speed arrive late, so the early damage is all charged punches on a bridge where every engage is a commitment.

Focus Q early to keep Vi's engage tools on a short leash, then E, then W. A charged Vault Breaker and the Excessive Force cone both punish a clump packed onto the bridge, and once she blows up their formation she rides Assault and Battery straight through the middle of the fight.

Vi ARAM Abilities

Vault Breaker is the engage that does the quiet work, a charged punch that carries her forward, knocks enemies back, and lands a stack of Denting Blows to start cracking their armor. Relentless Force then turns one auto into a line, punching through her target to hit whoever hides behind it.
