How to play Vi in ARAM Mayhem

Vi is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #115 of 173 champions, with a 48.2% win rate over 748,755 games.

89% of Vi's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down. It soaks 42,856 damage per game and mitigates another 56,038, so it belongs at the front: start fights and absorb the poke your carries can't. It dies 13.5 times per game on average: it trades its life for impact, so time your engages with your team.

Most Vi players go Crit (28% of games), but the Tank path, tank items, is ARAMKit's top-ranked build: Heartsteel, Warmog's Armor and Overlord's Bloodmail, with a 52.6% win rate. On this build 61% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Vi are The Boom and the Bass, Armored Impact and BEES!!!. Cards built around attack speed and on-hit fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability power. Skip Pat On The Back and Fey Magic when you can: they do worst on Vi. A pair to look for: Ethereal Weapon with Ultra Hydra.

Take Flash and Mark (95% of players). Max Q (Vault Breaker) first, then E, then W.
