Punch first, ask questions later. Finally she’s here! Here comes Vi!

• If you’re interested in any previous installments, you can find them here
• All champions are chosen at random via Ultimate Bravery
• All champions in this series will be built to a level 20 fantasy but that doesn’t mean you have to be level 20 in order to enjoy most of the core mechanics of the champion
  • Vi is always aimed to beat you to the punch. In the early levels, we make sure that we punch good and get Vi’s main abilities as combat maneuvers. Then by level 9, she has her gauntlets and is good to start laying into some faces.

    • Vi
  • Lore
    • 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.
