    Vi Tips and Tricks

    Vi is an early game Jungler, so make sure to gank frequently in the early stages to help your teammates get ahead. Play around your R—whenever it’s up, try to gank a lane. It's a great tool for securing kills and punishing weak laners. Vi also excels at Dragon control early in the game. If possible, try to secure every Dragon to help buff up your team.

    Situational Vi Runes and Items

    Depending on the context of your game, your matchup, and the enemy champions, you might want to adjust your build with situational items or specific runes. Pay close attention to your team composition, the enemy's champions, and the state of the game to adjust your build accordingly. For example, take Armor if you're facing AD-heavy champions, or Magic Resist if you're up against mages.
