Vi vs Ivern

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Vi's early game pressure and clear speed let her contest river and invade before Ivern can safely react.
Focus on leveraging Vi's lockdown and objective control to force picks and deny Ivern's utility scaling.

Jungle Plan

Path aggressively toward lanes with flash-down enemies to maximize (Q) gank threat and force Ivern's flash or summoner use.
Contest first Scuttle only when your lanes have priority to avoid getting countered by Ivern's utility and teammate follow-up.
Use vision control around dragon and Herald to set up picks with (R) lockdown and deny Ivern safe access to objectives and camps.

Danger windows

Early invade attempts risk punishment if lanes lack priority or Vi misses (Q), as Ivern can disengage with shields and Daisy.
Isolated river fights without lane support are dangerous due to Ivern's root (Q) and knockup (R) from Daisy.
Forced smite fights near dragon or Herald can be risky if Ivern's team has vision and positioning advantage.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear if early gank lanes have priority, else full clear to keep pace and contest Scuttle.
Prioritize early river Scuttle when nearby lanes can assist to secure vision and objective control.
Avoid extended fights without lane priority since Ivern can use his utility and pathing tricks to escape or counter-gank.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Vi's (R) lockdown, enabling reliable picks on Ivern or his laners before objectives.
First completed jungle item boosts Vi's clear speed and dueling, increasing invade and counter-jungle threat.
Post-level 6, Vi's strong dueling and gank threat force Ivern to play more cautiously, opening objective control windows.

Win conditions

Use early ganks with (Q) and (R) lockdown to force summoner cooldowns and create picks that secure dragon and Rift Herald.
Deny Ivern free farm by invading and counter-jungling when lanes have priority, leveraging Vi's superior dueling and clear speed.
Translate jungle tempo into objective control through vision dominance and coordinated team fights exploiting Vi's lockdown to isolate targets.
