Aftershock Vi top is pretty fun

I’ve been experimenting with a few Vi top builds after her buffs, and I’ve found she works pretty well with Aftershock. I Q in to proc Aftershock, AA, E to proc DB, back off or continue the attack. I’ve won quite a few games recently with this build. Only issue I’m finding with Vi top is her lack of sustain.

R: AS, BP, SW, OG D: SI, RH

Max R > Q > W if against tank, E if against squishy

I take flash/ignite because her kill potential before 6 is pretty lackluster.

Some thoughts on Vi top-

She can’t sustain a duel like the juggernauts can, you really have to land that 1-2-3 combo and then decide to keep going or get out-repeat combo. Aftershock AoE is a great deterrent against people chasing after you when you combo. She’s very hit and run in that regard. I find her passive combos well with aftershock’s increased defenses to mitigate damage done.

I’ve tried Doran’s shield and blade, but they don’t give Vi enough sustain against the likes of Garen, Darius, or Tentacle Mom. Corrupting potion is nice for sustain, especially when paired with second wind. I typically build Youmous, swiftys (to reduce Q slow), triforce, sterak, and then 2 defensive items.

All in all, Vi top is exhausting compared to her jungler role, but I’m finding it can be done. She is best to play aggressively, as she can bully people out after a few combos. Her wave clear is nasty, and her E is great harass against opponents who sit in the back.

She really can’t secure a kill before 6 if she chunks someone down enough, which is why I find ignite is almost mandatory. I’ve tried precision as secondary, but I honestly think domination is best for ravenous hunter sustain and sudden impact burst.

I really dont recommend her against Trundle or Singed. Try out this build and let me know what you think.
