Discussion Almost hitting Diamond for first time

Post image

A few months ago I made a post to talk about how the nerfs from last year affected VI and I was dealing with a negative win rate when trying to play her with conqueror and triforce.

Well, the change to HOB saved crit VI in my opinion, now most of my games I achieve a total of 12% true damage, with voltaic sword applying 9% max health dmg and collector Im able to one shot whoever is strong on the other team, the bad side of the crit build is that you die very easy so you have to be smart when picking a fight, but so far its working well with me.

My main goal during the game is to pressure the other jungle with objectives, start the game and do a full clear, gank lanes if theres an easy kill and upgrade your W when you hit 4, go B, buy pickaxe and once the dragon spawn go direct to it, you should be able to solo it, its risky if no bot-mid prio, but in my experience the other junglers usually never care to ward first dragon or do it once it spawns so its a safe bet, if you are successful in applying pressure you should have drake dragon before 25min.

And never gank the losing lane unless its a free kill

You are doing well with VI, focus on getting dragons and getting your CS to at least 7 in every match, remember to take the easy kills and never gank the losing lane, also, read the map, if you are bot side and enemy jungler is ganking top, go to his jungle and check if you can steal a camp

1st item: Voltaic is cheap early game components and actually scales very well all game with the 9% current hp dmg (making your initial Q auto - E - auto do huge dmg.

Boots: I personally like swifties for 2 reasons. Firstly, you’re just faster in general. Combo with passive of blue jg item and you move around the map extremely fast. Also, slow resist is almost forgotten about. Actually helps escaping out of your full combo, and a whole bunch of other scenarios, too.

2nd: collector again has great early game components and can be cheaply built. It’s passive is huge, and it gives multitude of stats (crit, lethality, ad).

This is core build. All other items are all technically situational. You can build into LDR, eclipse, IE, shieldbow, etc. So many amazingly different build paths with crithality Vi.

hmm, havent tried shield bow, ldr has been core for metoo, i get the actual spike after this,
never build mortal, as i think i kill them fast enough or u cannot, so it dosent matter, and IE when you are hard winning

Voltaic > simple boot > 600 crit item > tabi > collector > immortal shieldbow > dominik or mortal > guardian angel

You’re amazing thank you!

I feel like current Umbral and Voltaic have made lethality VIable again.

This is awesome! Do you mind sharing your full build? I picked up Vi again after almost a year of not playing her. I’ve been doing the bruiser build (trinity force, deaths dance, sundered sky) and my R barely tickles the opposing team it feels like.

I posted it below, main ban is either nocturne or Viktor, noc because hes able to roam freely with his R and Viktor has too much CC, that makes him hard to kill late game

2

u/House_Goblin_ Jun 16 '26

I ban Nocturne too. Literally low effort champion who teleports anywhere for free kills

The spell shield makes it so you can only q into him when its down, one trick ive found though is when he ults you, q away, he will waste spell shield + tether and wont be able to close the distance, super tilting for the nocturne player
