Max Skill 1, your main damage source, first, giving you both mobility and burst.
Use your Skill 2 shield and high skill damage to clear the jungle quickly from the start. If a charged Skill 1 lands, the gank very likely succeeds. Once you force an enemy Flash, come back soon for a repeat gank and take the kill.
Vi's biggest weapon is the targeted engage from Ult. Catch enemies who step too far forward during vision fights before objectives, or start skirmishes together with your most fed teammate. The aim is to control the mid-game map.
Diving in alone carelessly in the late game gets you focused and killed instantly. Engage only when your damage dealers are close enough to follow and the enemy shows an opening.
Vi's teamfight job is simple. Dive the most fed, most dangerous enemy carry with Ult and let your team focus them down. After the engage, use Skill 2 shields to survive as long as you can and disrupt the enemy formation from the inside.
Vi's Skill 1 is a strong engage. But charging it fully from far away and missing leaves you stranded in the enemy team to be beaten down. On ganks, do not force a long-range punch; walk up or apply the Red Buff slow first, then land it. From Lv5 on, make Ult into a point-blank Skill 1 your standard guaranteed combo.
Knock them back with Skill 1, then proc the passive fast using autos and the reset from Skill 3.
Lock a single target with Ult, then chain CC with Skill 1.

A three-step guide set by the official champion library. For difficulty, a higher number means harder to play.
Critical damage is 200% for every champion. These figures exclude items and runes.
Our take
A fully charged Vault Breaker loses 40 points of ratio. At 200 bonus AD that is 80 damage gone, and the gap widens the more Vi builds — this bites late rather than early.
Cease and Desist is 20 seconds longer at rank 1. Miss once and the wait is long, so the opening has to be worth it.
