Playing as Vi

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. A spell to trigger your shield

    Hit an enemy with a spell to activate Blast Shield (passive): it charges over time, and every third hit on a target lowers its cooldown.

  2. Three hits on the same target

    Hit the same target three times: Denting Blows (W) adds damage based on their max health, removes some of their armor and gives you attack speed.

  3. Hit through minions

    Cast Relentless Force (E) on a minion in front of your opponent: the shockwave also hits enemies behind the target, with full damage.

  4. Charge Vault Breaker out of sight

    Charge Vault Breaker (Q) out of sight before you show up: fully charged, it deals double damage, and it stops on the first champion hit to knock them back.

  5. Go get their carry

    Cast Cease and Desist (R) on their carry: you're unstoppable during the charge, and enemies in your way are stunned. Don't stray too far from your team.

Playing against Wukong

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his W

    Trade after Warrior Trickster (W): it's his best escape, and it has a 22 to 18 second cooldown.

  2. Ignore the still clone

    When Warrior Trickster (W) turns him invisible, ignore the figure standing still: that's the clone, and the real Wukong just dashed off to the side.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Cyclone (R), spread out from your allies: he spins in the middle of your team and knocks every nearby enemy into the air, twice.

  4. Escape after his second Cyclone

    If you have a way to escape, wait for his second Cyclone (R) to end: the spell can be recast once, and each spin knocks nearby enemies into the air again.
