Here comes VIIIIIIIIII


Hey guys, Necroanimus here talking about Vi, the Piltover Enforcer! Vi is actually one of my favorite new ADC's and she's just plain badass. Vi has punky pink hair and her badassery is just... off the wall.

Well, Vi, in a nutshell, is a pink haired badass who's weapons are her own two fists! Or, to be more precise, two gigantic Hextech gauntlets.Vi's the kind of character who is a pretty good ADC, but, is also a snowball character (Momentum character) so once she gets rollin (Usually around mid game) then the enemy is more or less screwed. 

Vi's passive is called Blast Shield. In a nutshell, every ten seconds, Vi charges up a shield that is composed of 10% of her maximum health. So, in a sense, it's like Malphite's passive. It comes in handy, I must say, because slamming into an enemy with her Q and gaining a shield is just a win. 

Her Q is called Vault Breaker. This skill, upon activation, slows Vi down for a few seconds while it charges. As it's charging, Vault Breaker gains range. Upon release, Vi charges forth in a line, knocking aside minions in her path and stopping upon collision with a champion, dealing damage and knocking them into the air temporarily. The range doesn't increase with level, however, the damage does, making this her main form of attack and ganking if your playing jungle Vi (jungle Vi is actually very dangerous, so you know. I've tried it and it just fucking works.) So I honestly suggest leveling this first for maximum fun early game.

Vi's W is called Denting Blows. Denting Blows is a passive only ability, but it's so fucking useful that you don't need an active for it. What Denting Blows does is, every third hit, Vi breaks her opponents armor, leading up to some heavy damage. In retrospect, Vi is a living Black Cleaver when she gets this ability. (Although getting the Black Cleaver with her makes for more armor breaking capability. So, in a nutshell, without the Black Cleaver, she breaks 20% of her opponents armor. With the Black Cleaver, that's another 25% armor reduction. In a nutshell, in four hits, you can break half of their armor. Another thing is that after the enemy's armor is broken, Vi gets an attack speed boost of up to 50% really she can really unleash some quick damage. 

Now we get to Vi's E, which is called Excessive Force. I really like this ability because it looks pretty fucking cool. Once you obtain this ability, what it does is charge up two uses to activate. When you activate them, Vi's next basic attack sends a wave of force out in the general direction she's standing in, dealing damage to whatever it hits. This ability is really cool for clearing minion waves mid/late game when Vi snowballs, because like I said earlier, akin to Pantheon, Vi is a momentum character.

Well, now to her ult, or her R... Assault and Battery. What she does is target an enemy champion, charges towards them, knocking aside anything in her way (including other champions), knocks the target champion into the air and slams them right back down. Now this is a really cool ult for several reasons. For one, Vi's ult is made to work with Caitlin's ult, because it knocks aside any champion (and slows them, I learned.) so Caitlin's ult wouldn't be blocked by another champion (HELPING :3). Another cool thing is that every so often, Vi says "Get Dunked!" When she charges. To be honest, I've initiated some really good (and bad...) team fights with her ult, isolating a high priority champion first (like the team ADC, except when the ADC is Draven, then everyone turns into Draven because of the Draven glitch.) Let's not talk about this...

Well.... my build for Vi usually consists of this:

Ninja Tabi
Black Cleaver
Trinity Force
Frozen Mallet
Atma's Impaler
Infinity Edge

Well kiddies, it's another week, and I'll have to do some reviews. Well, gotta jet!
