Focus on farming and look for trades when your passive shield is up. Use Q for poke and engage.
Vi Mid in the Mid Game:
Roam to other lanes and help secure objectives. Look for picks with your ultimate.
Vi Mid in the Late Game:
Engage or peel for your carries in teamfights. Use your ultimate to target high-value enemies.
Vi Mid during Teamfighting:
Engage with Q and follow up with R on priority targets. Use W to shred tanks and E for additional damage. Stay aware of your passive shield and reposition with Q if needed.
Vi around Objective Control:
For dragons and barons, use Q to zone or engage the enemy team. Your W can help shred the objective faster.
Additional Advice on how to play VI in the Mid lane:
Always be aware of your passive cooldown in trades. Look for opportunities to roam with your jungler, especially if they synergize well with Vi.
