How to counter Vi

  1. Cease and Desist cannot be interrupted once cast; a spell shield or Zhonya's Hourglass is your best answer.

  2. Dodge Vault Breaker: it is her main gap closer before level six.

  3. Build armor early, as her damage is physical.

  4. Stay near your team after level six so she cannot isolate you.
