Zed into Vimedium

Overview

Prioritize early jungle tempo and river control to offset Vi's high early pressure and gank threat.
Use your high mobility and burst to punish Vi's missed or overextensions during early skirmishes.
Maintain vision to avoid isolated fights where Vi's lockdown can be deadly.

Jungle Plan

Full clear early to hit level 3 and unlock your combo, then look for ganks on lanes with lane priority.
Contest river vision and Scuttle Crab when your lanes can support or Vi is pathing away to deny her objective control.
Track Vi's pathing to counter-gank her early ganks and punish her if she misses or overcommits.

Danger windows

Early jungle fights before level 3 when you lack your full combo and Vi's knockback can disrupt your engage.
Isolated river skirmishes where Vi's lockdown and dash can lead to lethal trades without vision or lane support.
Objective fights where Vi's strong objective control and lockdown can force smite steals or unfavorable teamfights if outnumbered.

Early game

Start with a clear route that reaches level 3 quickly to unlock your ++ combo power spike.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority or Vi paths away from river.
Avoid early direct fights with Vi unless you have vision and cooldown advantage to dodge and .

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full ++ combo for reliable trades and gank setups; punish Vi's early pathing mistakes.
Level 6 grants strong all-in potential and escape, enabling kills or disengages from Vi's lockdown.
First completed lethality item significantly boosts burst, allowing you to pressure lanes and force Vi defensive.

Win conditions

Use your faster level 3 clear and burst combo to invade and deny Vi camps before she can establish tempo.
Leverage to pick off isolated targets and snowball lanes, converting kills into Rift Herald and dragon control.
Maintain river vision to contest Scuttle and objectives, forcing Vi into reactive play and limiting her gank threat.
