Q (Vault Breaker) charges a dash + knockback — charge it from fog of war for a surprise engage.
R (Cease and Desist) is an unstoppable targeted dash that knocks up — use it on the enemy carry, nothing can stop it.
W (Denting Blows) stacks armor reduction on autos — 3 autos to break armor and burst on the 3rd hit.
The gank combo is Q (charge) then auto then E (empowered auto) then R for continuous CC.

Playing against Vi
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Her R is unstoppable but you can prepare: shield, heal, or Zhonya's when you see Vi charging toward you.
Her Q charge is visible and audible: side-step or Flash when she releases Q.
Vi is squishy if she builds assassin: burst her after she uses R.
Her Q can be interrupted during the charge by knockback or created terrain (Anivia wall, Trundle pillar).
