I've been messing around with Vi top and enjoying it. I'm just wondering what the best way to about it is ? Thunder lords, grasp? Full tank or damage or hybrid? Runes seem to be ad reds and quilts, Mr flat or scaling and arm flat or scaling yellows. Also I have officer should I get demon? XD
Had Lucians Wife2 votesGrasp has been getting nerfed, so it depends, if you want to be tanky with 
and 
, get Grasp cus vi has decent base damage.Or you could go balls to the wall ad armor pen with 
, 
and Thunder lord , and one shot squishies, or you could do a mix.
PS: I like mixed the best
Hullabaloo9072 votesThis might be terrible, but trinity, ninja tabi, frozen heart, steraks, maw, warmogs. Iceborn, steraks, maw, randuins warmogs speed boots might be good as well
P.S. Try Vi support. Build similar but with locket instead of maw, and equinox instead of warmogs. This is actually the role i bought her to try her in.
Sire Hippington2 votesThing with vi is that full off, full tank and bruiser are all viable. It mostly depends on teamcomps and also on the sitation. Tanky builts tend to be safer and more gold efficient, so they work better then you are behind. Full off builts are usually more risky, but are great to push an advanrage.
For masteries, Thunderlords if you plan on building rather agressive, Grasp if you go more tanky and thus get the hp for the scaleing.
For runes, it depends on what items you built. Your aim should always be to reach 40%cdr(or 45% with the masterie) so running cdr/lvl glyphs for 10% cdr a 18 should be considered. With cdr blues, i usually go for hp/lvl yellows as it helps vs physical and magical damage I also prefer AS reds if faceing more tanky opponents or builting rather tanky my self as she relies alot on her W dps for drawnout fights. Else, i prefer arpen as i synergieses well with the armor shred on her W.
For items, nearly anything can work on vi, though i recomand getting atleast one of the hydras and a sheen item. Black cleaver vs tanky opponents also is a great item for her. If going tannk, you don't need a sheen item as you won't burst anyone anyway. Frozenmallet however makes you very annoying to deal with.
Also, you need to adjust her playstyle to her built. If you built full off, you have to play her like an assasin and either splitpush or stay a bit awawy from the fight and wait for going in till some major cds are blown, else you die very quickly in a teamfight. As bruiser, you also don't want to be the first to engage unless you get a great flank. U usually want to go in as follow up on your tanks engage. Bruiser Vi also os a powerfull splitpusher. With tank Vi, you are the vanguard of your team, meaning you dive head first into your opponents to lock down thei carry. You most likely lack the damage to kill him by your self as tank, but with proper followup that doesnt matter.
The JigSAW2 votesI've got a little build I use for Vi top, which does work since Vi used to be a top laner before she headed to the jungle and I still see a few people using it today.
Keystone: Warlord's Bloodlust for primarily damage/sustain OR strength of the ages for tank (300 extra health, 6% max health restore on large minion kills)
MAX ORDER: Q, W, E (R 6, 11, 16 of course)
Core: 
- This is your primary health/CDR/defensive core build. Vi needs the 40% CDR, she's devastating with just a little damage, and it helps her survive. IG or Heart will give the flat mana she needs to keep fighting and provide a good amount of armor. Remember, her passive scales with her health so the more the better for the shield.
I also like to go 
if I see two tanks or more on the enemy team for the damage and armor pen. Vi can do so much damage, and with this the tanks go down as quick as the squishies. If there are no tanks on the team, you might prefer 
for the spellvamp/lifesteal instead. All these armor piercing items stack with her Denting Blows!
Happy punching!
