Nunu & Willump into Vimedium

Overview

Avoid isolated duels; rely on angles and lane priority to create numbers advantages for ganks and objectives.
Punish Vi's opposite-side pathing by counter-jungling and forcing early objective starts.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that enables early ganks where lane CC or flashes are down, then immediately transition to dragon or Rift Herald if lanes have priority.
Contest river vision and Scuttle only when your lanes can respond quickly to Vi's pressure or counter-gank attempts.
Track Vi's pathing to counter-gank her early ganks, especially after she uses to engage, and avoid fighting her alone without lane support.

Danger windows

Respect Vi's level 3 when her and basic attacks make her a strong duelist capable of punishing isolated clears.
Avoid isolated river fights before lanes have priority, as Vi can force smite contests with her lockdown .
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights without lane support, as Vi's dueling and objective control can overwhelm you.

Avoid early invades unless you have vision and lane priority to prevent Vi from punishing isolated clears.
Use from fog to approach lanes for early ganks, forcing Vi to play cautiously and ward deeper.

Power spikes

At first dragon or Herald spawn, use plus Smite to secure objectives quickly and force Vi into reactive plays.
At level 6, layer after or allied CC to maximize zone control and punish Vi's commitment with her lockdown.
Respect Vi's early level 3 power spike when her dash knockback enables strong dueling and gank pressure.

Win conditions

Convert successful early ganks into immediate dragon or Herald starts to build objective leads and map pressure.
Use gank angles and sustain to maintain jungle tempo and deny Vi safe farming or uncontested objectives.
Force cross-map plays and counter-jungle when Vi shows on the opposite side, leveraging superior objective control and team utility to snowball leads.
