Clear healthy (red > opportunistic gank or full clear). Contest only if priority.
Viego becomes easier to punish when dependent on first reset; if stopped, loses enormous value.. From the opposite side, the page also highlights this answer: Invade him on level 3 with priority lanes (Lee/Vi) to break his tempo.
Level 5 completely changes Viego’s threat: his ultimate gives him execute pressure, repositioning, and the ability to chain after a possession. Before this point, he can gank, but he has less safety when a fight starts going wrong.
With Blade of the Ruined King, Viego gains real dueling control, better objective speed, and enough sustained damage to push a target into execute range. This is often when he can punish an isolated jungler or turn a 2v2 skirmish.
Trinity Force adds auto-attack burst, haste, and a much sharper tempo in ganks. From this point onward, every mist angle around a wall becomes more threatening, because Viego can connect, speed up the trade, and look for a reset faster.
Later ultimate ranks improve his ability to execute more often and reposition without waiting too long. In mid to late game, this is the difference between a Viego who gets one kill and a Viego who runs through the entire fight possession after possession.
Avoid unfavorable duels, play on allied priority and counter-ganks.
Setup vision on objectives, look for the pick that triggers the reset.
Protect yourself until you find a safe R execution, then move on.
