Vi's carry playstyle is making waves in TFT on the LPL Super Server these days.
Vi - The Fresh Power of the Punk Tribe
Previously regarded as a 'melee' champion in the Punk lineup, Vi is gaining attention. With the buffs to the Punk tribe in patch 14.2, Jinx and Twitch are fiercely contested, while Vi is left overlooked.
Vi's strength lies in avoiding fierce competition for the carry roleAs a result, some high-level players have switched to utilizing Vi to avoid intense carry competition, capitalizing on the Punk buffs. This playstyle proves highly effective, allowing players to achieve impressive ranks, even in Thách Đấu. Even on the LPL Super Server, this composition remains exceptionally strong, capable of defeating other meta lineups.
Building the Vi 'One Punch Man' Formation
In the early stages, players should acquire Super Star Vi regardless of the chosen tribe or origin. If Vi is in the Super Star Punk form, aiming for a 4-unit synergy early on is advisable to accumulate power. Acquiring Super Slam Vi can provide stable damage output early in the game due to her attack speed and full lifesteal.
Reaching the 4-unit synergy with Punk is a crucial power spike to aim forSimilar to single carry lineups, players should refrain from buying experience to optimize Vi's appearance rate. Upon reaching a 3-star Vi, players should aim for level 6 mid-game to add resilient units like Amumu and Vex. They create enough space for Vi to maximize damage.
Mid-game lineup focus should include adding Amumu and Vex for supportIn the late game, players should consider adding valuable 5-gold champions like Lucian or Yorick to optimize carry strength. If owning Super Slam Vi, players can target the 4-unit synergy with champions like Poppy or Sett. Thresh is also a versatile choice for broad control capabilities.
Two Player Formations to Use in the Late Game Based on Vi's Super Star Tribe-OriginEquipment and Technology Core
For Vi as a carry, Night's Cloak is indispensable, allowing her to extend her damage output over time. Additionally, items providing healing, such as Bloodthirster, Hand of Justice, or significant damage with Infinity Edge, are well-suited for Vi. Regarding the Technology Core, Double Strike is the optimal choice for the Punk tribe. Alongside that, cores like Righteous Caster or United Struggle are also powerful for this lineup.
