Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight against Vi as long as you respect her Q range and use E to reposition after she commits — her only real threat is landing Q to pin you, so baiting it out before engaging gives you a clean short-trade window with your passive armor and burst.
From level 6, you win 1v1 by never letting her R combo fully resolve: use E immediately when she R-dashes onto you to break her follow-up positioning, then burst her down while she repositions.

Vi typically runs a full clear starting either buff, often Red side first, then Krugs or Raptors into Scuttle — she is a tempo jungler who looks for early skirmishes at scuttle and will path toward lanes where she can set up a Q gank through a wall.

You can invade Vi at level 3 on her second buff if you started opposite side and have full HP — she has no reliable escape and your burst in a tight corridor is stronger than hers without her Q available.
The optimal timing is after your first full clear when you have level 3 and she is likely still clearing her second camp.

Do not let Vi land an uncontested Q on you at any point in the fight — it is not just a gap-closer but also sets up her full passive-proc combo and R, so always keep E available as a reactive tool rather than burning it aggressively for damage before she commits.
