How to play Vi
It is not enough to win the fight: you have to win it with a margin. In exchange, that unit or another is ready to attack the second field. Vi, Hotheaded doubles its Strength by paying, Vi, Peacekeeper stuns when attacking and Hextech Gauntlets is an equipment whose cost decreases with the Strength of the wearer.
Domains: Fury and Order
Fury
Direct aggression: units that hit early and damage that closes games.
Order
Wide boards, clean answers and units that strengthen each other.
A Vi deck can only include cards from Fury and Order; its 12 Runes are split between those two Domains.
Phased game plan
- First shifts
Play units with a lot of Strength for their cost.
- Midrange
Attack the weaker field with everything and use the legend to attack the other.
- End of game
Vi, Hotheaded with doubled Strength guarantees leftover damage and double attack.
