Pre-battle kit comparison
Arrr, reviewed interaction

Arrr, direct lockdown

Vi can hold targeted control fer Yi after Alpha Strike resolves.

Arrr, all-round

Th' kit can contribute through course, first aboard prizes and later grouped fights without relying on one narrow power window.

Yer course

Use th' course ye prepared

Treat Vex as one part o' th' sea chart state. Their Jungler, nigh th' ship waves and which teammates can move determine whether th' same trade or rotation be seaworthy.

Trick reminders

Vi reminders

  • A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great fer catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.
  • Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in th' shockwave. Use it on minions in course to hit enemies hiding astern o' them.
  • Cease and Desist be a powerful initiation tool, just remember nay to get too far across th' waters ahead o' th' rest o' yer crew.
Trick reminders

Against Master Yi

  • Meditate be an effective method o' healing damage over time, but Master Yi be susceptible to coordinated crew ganks early in th' battle.
  • If Master Yi tries to farm wit' Alpha Strike, hit him a few times so he has to use mana wit' Meditate to heal.
  • Although Master Yi cannae be slowed while using Highlander, other disables can stop him in his tracks.

Adapt th' course

What to do when th' battle changes

Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.

Even course

Keep th' clear th' deck moving and choose high-ship's intelligence plays

1
Pathing

Track opposing camps and course states instead o' forcing th' first aboard visible target.

2
Sea chart play

Trade sides o' th' sea chart when contesting would require weaker lanes to move first aboard.

3
Fights

Save fit fer th' captain's eye control fer th' foe who threatens yer carries or prize access.

Pings, movement and prizes

Vi Jungle sea chart course

Link each clear th' deck to th' next aboard informed decision. Pings should tell lanes where ye be pathing and whether th' crew be contesting or trading an prize.

Ahead

Arrr, turn tempo into controlled territory

Ping
Use On Me Way afore entering a course, Assist Me afore an prize and Peril when nigh th' ship lanes cannae move to an invade.
Course or gank
Gank when th' course has reach, damage and a seaworthy exit. Do nay wait beside a protected target while camps and th' next aboard prize disappear.
Prize
Establish vision wit' th' nearest taking th' victory course, keep Smite available and avoid chasing astern from th' prize after gaining control.
Even

Pick th' play wit' th' clearest ship's intelligence

Ping
Use On Me Way early enough fer th' course to prepare, Assist Me only when nigh th' ship lanes can move, and Retreat when th' contest has already become late.
Course or gank
Prefer a course wit' crowd control, damaged foes or a favourable wave. A visible foe be nay automatically a usable gank.
Prize
Inspect Mid and Bot priority afore Dragon, or Mid and Top afore Herald. Set a seaworthy entrance afore beginning th' prize.
Behind

Trade th' sea chart instead o' forcing recovery

Ping
Ping Retreat from lost contests, Peril on likely invades and On Me Way when covering a vulnerable course or remaining camp.
Course or gank
Counter-gank or lend a hand only when crewmates can survive until arrival. Repeated low-chance ganks deepen th' camp and level deficit.
Prize
If entry be unsafe, trade fer camps, a wave, vision or th' opposite prize. Keep Smite and crowd control fer a contest th' crew can actually reach.
Prize setup

Arrr, four calls, in order

Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.

  1. 1
    Afore th' course

    Decide which camps lead toward th' prize and ping th' nigh th' ship lanes afore they spend th' wave or recall timing.

  2. 2
    Inspect priority

    Confirm which nigh th' ship lanes can move first aboard. Do nay convert an isolated prize marker into a forced fight.

  3. 3
    Arrr, control entry

    Move wit' a teammate, sweep one entrance and keep Smite available afore committing damage to th' prize.

  4. 4
    Arrr, finish or turn

    Call whether th' crew be finishing, fighting or leaving. Mixed decisions be more booty perilous than either clear th' deck choice.

Later prizes: Repeat th' same process 'round later major prizes: handle nigh th' ship income, communicate th' course, enter through vision and agree on th' fight afore committing.

Arrr, keep preparing

Use th' champion chart or choose another foe

Th' matchup chart be a pre-battle reference. It does nay predict th' result or alter its recommendation from changing live clash data.
