Full all-in combo

2 AA

4 AA

6 AA

8 AA

Engage, maximum DPS, ultimate as a finisher for the knock-up and lockdown

Long-range Flash combo

Flash

Charge ability 1, Flash whilst dashing to cover a long, unexpected distance — alternative:Vault Breaker (1) → Flash → Assault and Battery (Ult)for the longest possible engage

Mechanical Tips

Vault Breaker (1) charge: the longer you charge, the further you dash and the stronger the knockback — short charge = quick gap-closing; max charge = engage across an entire area
Denting Blows (passive): 3 AAs on the same target = a Denting Blows stack that reduces armour and deals bonus damage — always chain 3 AAs on the same target before switching; insert the 3 (Excessive Force = AA reset) between normal AAs
Excessive Force (3) resets AAs: the 3 resets the AA animation — use immediately after an AA to double DPS without delay
Assault and Battery (Ult): a point-and-click ultimate that targets a champion and knocks up all enemies in its path — use in teamfights to knock up multiple enemies whilst charging through the group

Common Mistakes

Uncharged Vault Breaker: Releasing the 1 key immediately (micro-charge) is much less powerful — charge for at least 0.5–1s to ensure a powerful engage
Ultimate as a sole engage: the ultimate is a finisher after Vault Breaker, not an opener — if used as an opener, enemies can react with Flash whilst the ultimate is channelling
Wasted Excessive Force: using ability 3 on minions whilst a champion is adjacent wastes the DPS window — save ability 3 for champions in combat

Notable Interactions

Assault and Battery is unstoppable whilst dashing — it cuts through Crystallise, Braum’s passive, etc.
With Sunfire Aegis + Thornmail, Vi becomes extremely tanky, and enemies who attack her whilst Denting Blows is active take damage in return
Vi synergises well with burst mages (Orianna, Lux), who benefit from the guaranteed lockdown provided by Vault Breaker + her ultimate
