Vi

Vi is a hard-engage fighter defined by a single promise: pick a target, reach that target, and hit it until it stops moving. Listed for top and mid lane and long a jungle staple, she blends Fighter durability with Assassin-grade target access, all at a low mechanical difficulty that makes her one of the most direct dive champions to learn.

Her engage sequence is famously linear and famously hard to stop. Vault Breaker is a charged punch that carries her forward, knocking back enemies and applying Denting Blows — her W, which shreds the target’s Armor over repeated punches while granting Vi Attack Speed, so the longer she stays on someone the faster she kills them. Relentless Force turns her next attack into a blast that punches through the target and damages everything behind it, giving her surprising waveclear and cleave for a single-target brawler. Blast Shield charges passively and activates whenever an ability connects, layering free durability into every trade.

The point-and-click lockdown

Cease and Desist is what teams draft Vi for: she runs down a chosen enemy, knocking aside everyone in her path, launches the target airborne, and slams it into the ground. It cannot be dodged once cast, making Vi one of the most reliable carry-deleters in the game — flash, dashes, and peel all fail to cancel the pursuit.

Her trade-offs are commitment and predictability; once she dives, there is no way back out. Vi is built for decisive players who would rather force the fight on their terms than wait for a perfect opening.
