Viego vs Vi

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Viego should focus on skirmishes where he can use (W) stun to initiate and reset with (R) for snowball potential.
Prioritize river fights only when allied lanes have priority to secure the first takedown and avoid isolated duels.
Manage tempo around objectives by leveraging reset threat rather than raw smite power to control fights and objectives.

Jungle Plan

Path to shadow lanes with strong CC to capitalize on (W) stun and secure early resets in skirmishes.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when lanes can collapse, using (E) camouflage to approach unseen.
Prioritize objective setups after winning skirmishes rather than forcing smite contests; use resets to convert kills into dragons or Herald.

Danger windows

Respect early river fights before level 6 where Vi's (Q) dash knockback and gank threat are highest.
Avoid low-health clears or isolated camps where Vi can punish with lockdown and burst.
Be cautious during forced objective setups without lane priority, as Vi's (R) lockdown can secure picks and turn fights.

Early game

Start with a stable clear to reach level 3 on time and avoid early invades before lanes can assist.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to back up river fights and secure vision.
Avoid early isolated fights against Vi before item spikes or lane support to reduce risk of getting locked down.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for execute and repositioning, enabling Viego to chain resets and win fights; look for skirmishes to start resets.
First fighter item enhances sustained dueling and reset potential, allowing longer fights and better objective control.
Avoid fights before these spikes as Vi's early gank threat and lockdown can punish Viego's weaker early dueling.

Win conditions

Use (W) stun to initiate skirmishes near river when allied lanes have priority, then capitalize on (R) resets to snowball.
Convert takedowns into objective control by securing dragons and Rift Herald with vision and lane pressure.
Track Vi's pathing to counter-gank and punish overextensions, denying her early picks and scaling advantage.
