Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Focus on surviving Vi's early jungle pressure by prioritizing a controlled first clear and avoiding early river fights without lane priority.
Use your stronger teamfight lockdown and objective control to force grouped fights post-level 6 and secure dragons or Heralds.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears or three-camp routes that lead into lanes with strong CC to set up effective (Q) ganks.
Contest Scuttle Crab only when your lanes can move first and support river control to deny Vi's early objective access.
Track Vi's pathing to anticipate her early ganks and be ready to counter-gank with your (Q) and (R) for lockdown around dragon or Herald fights.

Danger windows

Avoid early isolated river fights before level 6 where Vi's dueling and lockdown can overwhelm you.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Vi has lane priority or if her (Q) is available to engage and disengage quickly.
Low-health clears expose you to Vi's high early dueling; secure health and vision before contesting camps or Scuttle.

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp path toward a lane with reliable crowd control follow-up to maximize gank threat.
Avoid contesting the first Scuttle Crab unless nearby lanes have clear priority to prevent early counter-invades.
Place defensive wards at jungle entrances to protect your first clear from Vi's high early dueling and invade potential.

Power spikes

At level 6, your (R) significantly increases teamfight impact; use it to force grouped objectives where you excel.
Vi's early (Q) dash and (R) lockdown spike her dueling and pick threat; respect this by avoiding isolated fights before you have teammates.
Your (Q) long-range engage improves gank threat once you have it up; use it to punish Vi's overextensions or aggressive pathing.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by prioritizing safe clears and leveraging lanes with CC to set up ganks.
Use your (Q) and (R) to force grouped fights around dragons and Heralds, converting jungle tempo into objective control.
Deny Vi's scaling by counter-jungling when lanes have priority and by punishing her early gank attempts with well-timed counter-ganks.
