[Top 5] LoL Best Vi Builds for Destroying the Enemy Team

“We can either do this the hard way or… Oh wait, no. There's just the hard way.”

Vi is the hotheaded, impulsive, and wild pink-haired woman with little respect for authority figures, from Zaun's mean streets criminal and gang leader to the Piltover enforcer.

As she grew up, Vi developed very strong instincts for survival and a very rough sense of humor.

Currently assisting the wardens in keeping the peace in Piltover, armed with massive Hextech gauntlets capable of punching through both walls and suspects equally.

This article will walk you through the best Vi builds in League of Legends that will punch your opponents back to the lobby.

Vi doesn’t remember much from her childhood. However, what she does remember, she wishes she never did.

She learned to survive by using both her brain and her fist. Everyone who crossed her path knew that Vi could talk as well as punch her way out of trouble, mostly she preferred the punching.

No one knew anything about her parents; people assumed they died in one of the industrial accidents that were unfortunately too common in the undercity.

Vi was found in the wreckage of a chem lab in a bassinet big enough for two by a man who was known for being crazy, but she decided that some things are better left unknown.

Wherever there was a scrape to get into or a scam to run, Vi was in the middle of it. She has never neither stole from those who couldn’t cover the loss, nor hurt those who didn’t deserve it.

As she got older, Vi formed a gang of her own. You can never see her without a black eye or split lip, she always relied on her fists a bit too much.

In time, Vi earned a reputation as the one who gets things done with no questions asked.

One day, she overheard the chatter of the Zauntie miners, who often came to the bar, and learned when the big deals were being made and how payments were being delivered.

She planned a heist, but she needed the extra bodies to pull it off, so Vi hesitantly brought a rival gang, the Factorywood Fiends, in by her side.

Everything was going as planned, until the leader of the fiends murdered the mine owner with a pair of oversized pulverizer gauntlets and trapped the rest of the workers in the tunnels.

Vi knew she couldn’t let innocent people die, so she snatched up the gauntlets, and despite the painful clamping down of the wrist mechanisms on her arms, she endured the pain long enough to smash open a free path to the miners.

The next day, she paid a visit to the Factorywood Fiends. Still wearing the gauntlets, she took down the entire gang, administering a beating so legendary that everyone in the lanes still speaks about it to this day.

Eventually, Vi disappeared from Zaun when tensions with Piltover were running high. Rumors had it that she had been killed in a massive explosion in the heart of the undercity. However, the truth was revealed when a vicious gang whose murder sprees had spread was brought down by a respected Piltover sheriff and her new alley..Vi.

Vi got a brand-new pair of hextech Atlas prototypes to replace her chem-powered pulverizer gauntlets.

No one really knew the reason why or how Vi started working alongside Caitlyn, but speculation runs rife that it might have something to do with a blue-haired hellion from Zaun.

Checkout Vi late game lethality:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq8QELKLgYM

Your late-game strategy is heavily influenced by what the opposing team drafts.
Try to make picks at this stage of the game that lead to objectives.
If you must fight, focus on disrupting the enemy backline if possible If your team has superior teamfight, look to play very similarly to how you played midgame.

Build’s Strength:

Vi’s early-game jungle power is a force to be reckoned with, as she dishes out a lot of damage in any duel if she manages to land all her abilities.
Her potential will still be preserved during the late-game stage.
Vi should be able to get into the backline and lock down high-priority targets easily.
