Lore

Once a criminal from the mean streets of Zaun, Vi is a hotheaded, impulsive, and fearsome woman with only a very loose respect for authority figures. Growing up all but alone, Vi developed finely honed survival instincts as well as a wickedly abrasive sense of humor. Now working with the Wardens of Piltover to keep the peace, she wields mighty hextech gauntlets that can punch through walls and suspects with equal ease.

Tips

Playing as

  • A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.
  • Excessive Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.
  • Assault and Battery is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

Playing against

  • A fully charged Vault breaker deals double damage. If you see Vi start to charge you should back off or try to dodge it.
  • Vi will shred your Armor and gain Attack Speed if she manages to hit you three times in a row. Try not to engage in extended brawls with her.
  • Vi cannot be stopped while using her ult. Remember to save your displacement effects until after she's done charging.

Lore
To Vi, every problem is just another brick wall to punch through with her gigantic hextech gauntlets. Though she grew up on the wrong side of the law, Vi now uses her criminal know-how to serve Piltover's police force. Vi's brash attitude, abrasive humor, and blatant refusal to follow orders can often infuriate her by-the-books partner, Caitlyn. But even the sheriff of Piltover cannot deny that Vi is an invaluable asset in the fight against crime. AsOnce a child growing upcriminal infrom the lawlessmean outskirtsstreets of PiltoverZaun, Vi learned to rob and cheat to get by. Stealing and stripping hextech hardware gave her the skills of a master mechanic, while life on the streets taught her self-reliance. When she was six, a ragtag group of criminals tookis a shine to the young delinquent and brought her into their fold. By the time Vi was elevenhotheaded, she had become a seasoned accompliceimpulsive, and she relished the thrill of every heist. Vi's attitude changed when a raid on a mining facility went bad. She was forced to decide betweenfearsome fleeingwoman with her crew and trying to save the innocent mine workers fromonly a collapsed tunnel. Vi chose to play the hero.very Whileloose searchingrespect for a way to free the mine workers from the rubble, she discovered a damaged robotic mining rig. Improvising, she wrenched off its huge fists and modified them into makeshift hextech gauntlets. Fitting the heavy weapons to her tiny hands, the young girl flexed her arm and threw a powered punch at the rubble. The force of the blow blasted away theauthority rockfigures. With the workers free to escape, Vi fled the scene.

Eventually, word of her notoriety reached Caitlyn, the famed SheriffWardens of Piltover. Rather than seek Vi's arrest, Caitlyn offered the criminal a way to pay her debt to society: work forkeep the law in Piltover. Vi laughed.
