Evelynn vs Vi

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Evelynn should prioritize surviving early clears and avoid early fights before level 6 due to weak dueling and low invade resistance.
Focus on reaching level 6 to unlock camouflage and high gank threat for pick potential and objective control.
Play around Vi's strong early pressure by avoiding river contests and counter-ganking when Vi commits to ganks.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and avoid early invades unless lanes have priority to prevent being punished by Vi's strong early dueling.
Contest Scuttle Crab only when nearby lanes can move first and provide counter-gank support.
Use post-6 camouflage to cross-map flank pushed lanes and create pick opportunities before major objectives like Dragon or Herald.

Danger windows

Early game before level 6, Evelynn is vulnerable to Vi's strong invade and gank pressure; avoid river fights and low-health clears.
Isolated river fights and forced smite contests favor Vi due to her high objective control and lockdown.
Post-6, Evelynn must respect Vi's (R) lockdown when caught out without camouflage or lane support.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 6 safely without being disrupted by Vi's high early pressure.
Avoid fighting for first Scuttle Crab unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Track Vi's pathing to anticipate her early ganks and avoid low-health river paths vulnerable to her efficient clears and strong dueling.

Power spikes

Evelynn's level 6 unlocks camouflage and high gank threat; use this to create picks and pressure objectives while Vi respects lockdown potential.
Vi's early clear speed and (Q) dash enable strong early dueling and gank threat; respect this by avoiding early fights and low-health camps.
Vi's level 6 (R) lockdown spike demands Evelynn to avoid isolated fights and rely on camouflage for safer picks.

Win conditions

Survive early game pressure and reach level 6 to unlock stealth and pick potential.
Use camouflage to flank and pick off isolated targets before major objectives, denying Vi easy access.
Convert jungle tempo into objective control by coordinating with lanes to secure Dragons and Rift Herald after creating picks.
