Vi Item Build

BRUISER LOADOUT · VI

Vi runs straight through a formation to single out one target, knock them airborne, and slam them back down. Vault Breaker starts the collision, Denting Blows tears down armor, and Excessive Force blasts a punch through the target into enemies behind it.

Bruiser Vi puts Excessive Force first, then Denting Blows, with Ignite and Flash supporting the all-in once she reaches a target. Frozen Mallet and The Bloodthirster start the core, Phantom Dancer and The Black Cleaver extend it, and Randuin's Omen supplies the final listed slot.

Bruiser Vi Build

Bruiser

Vi's single build maxes Excessive Force first, which is a farming decision as much as a fighting one. The Black Cleaver and Phantom Dancer then compound with Denting Blows, since the armor shred and the attack speed both make the passive arrive sooner. Frozen Mallet and Randuin's Omen keep her in range to use it, and Mercury's Treads answer the lockdown that would otherwise cancel Assault and Battery. The Bloodthirster is the only sustain in the page. Blast Shield turns every Vault Breaker into a little free health, which is what makes a build this committed to closing distance defensible at all.

Our methodEvery Vi build here is reviewed by our editors before it ships. When a patch, balance change, or update touches Vi or the items in these builds, this page is re-reviewed and updated.
