Kindred into Vimedium

Overview

Use Kindred's ranged mobility and marks to contest marks and kite Vi in river fights.
Prioritize securing marks and objective control while avoiding risky early duels without lane priority.
Leverage ranged sustained damage to outscale Vi in extended fights and objective contests.

Jungle Plan

Path to secure marks and first Scuttle only when nearby lanes can move first and provide counter-gank support.
Use vision to track Vi's pathing and counter-gank her early ganks, especially before her level 6 lockdown.
Prioritize dragon and Rift Herald control using ranged DPS and to reset fights and deny Vi's smite contests.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before securing vision as Vi's and can lock down and burst you.
Be cautious contesting marks or objectives when low health or without lane priority to prevent forced smite fights.
Respect Vi's early gank windows and level 6 pick potential by tracking her path and disengaging when lanes cannot assist.

Early game

Start with a clear path securing early marks and transition quickly to river for Scuttle if lanes have priority.
Avoid fighting Vi early without vision and lane priority to prevent getting locked down by her and burst.
Contest marks and counter-invade only when Vi is on the opposite side or low health to minimize risk.

Power spikes

Spike with marks and item scaling to enhance ranged skirmishing and objective DPS; use this to kite Vi.
Respect Vi's level 6 spike that enables guaranteed picks; avoid isolated fights without lane support.
Vi's early skirmish strength with dash knockback requires maintaining distance and avoiding close trades early.

Win conditions

Convert lane priority into securing marks and Scuttle control to build Kindred's mark scaling and objective pressure.
Use ranged kiting and resets to win extended objective fights and deny Vi smite access.
Track Vi's early gank paths to counter-gank and force her off camps, leveraging superior scaling for dragons and Heralds.
