GameplayVi is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Vault Breaker's dash range extends up to 50 units when going through a wall.
- Targets will be hit as soon as they come into contact with Vi.
- Casting Flash during the dash will cause enemies at the destination to be hit by Vault Breaker.
- As Flash updates Vi's facing direction, affected champions will be knocked back in the direction the summoner spell was cast in.
- As
- Vi may cast spells that change her facing direction during the dash, including certain item actives and her own Cease and Desist, to knock champions she collides with in a different direction.(bug)
- Items this is possible with include:
- Items that also initiate their own dash immediately without delay can only redirect targets struck at Vault Breaker's maximum range. These items include:
- Stuck targets (including those that block Vault Breaker with a spell shield) are briefly immune to being affected again by Vault Breaker from this player, for about 1.25 seconds.
- The following table refers for interactions while Vi is channeling:

- The armor penetration will apply after the triggering damage.
- The enhanced attack applies other on-hit effects and can both critically strike as normal as well as apply life steal (the bonus damage cannot do either).
- Denting Blows can be blocked but cannot be dodged nor missed while Vi is blinded.
- The attacks do not affect structures nor wards.
- The empowered attack has the same windup time as Vi's basic attacks.
- Relentless Force deals basic damage to the primary target and area damage to secondary targets hit by the are of effect.
- Denting Blows will only apply a stack on Relentless Force's primary target (does not interact with the cone's damage).
- If the Relentless Force buff is about to run out as Vi starts the attack windup, the duration will be updated and extended to allow Vi to still sucessfully attack.
- Vi will track the target if they change locations.
- She will stop dashing if the target is too far away or moves beyond 1500 units.
- Vi will land to the opposite side of the target after a delay of grabbing them.
- Secondary targets will be affected as soon as they come into contact with Vi, and cannot be affected by this again for ~4 seconds.
- The airborne debuff cannot be overridden.
- The dash will not end prematurely if Vi blinks.
- The displacement immunity lasts until the ability fully ends.
- If the dash ends from entering resurrection or the target being too far away, the displacement immunity will remain for 7 seconds, and will otherwise be lost.(bug)
- The dash speed increases with time travelled.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
- If the target becomes untargetable during the dash, Vi ends the dash prematurely and moves towards the target briefly, ignoring any movement commands. If Vi enters grabbing range, she will apply the airborne effect but not dealing any damage.
- If Vi enters resurrection during the cast time, she will still dash and apply the airborne effect to the target upon entering grabbing range though not dealing any damage.
- Cease and Desist will cancel and go on full cooldown if Vi is affected by Fear Beyond Death's recast during the cast time.
- Displacement immunity will not resist the application of the stun.
- The following table refers for interactions while Vi is dashing:
- Flash cannot be used while Vi has grabbed the target.

Champion skins
- This article section only contains champion skins. For all associated collection items, see Vi (Collection).
Once a criminal from the mean streets of Zaun, Vi is a hotheaded, impulsive, and fearsome woman with only a very loose respect for authority figures. Growing up all but alone, Vi developed finely honed survival instincts as well as a wickedly abrasive sense of humor. Now working with the Wardens of Piltover to keep the peace, she wields mighty hextech gauntlets that can punch through walls and suspects with equal ease.
