View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Naafiri Jungle vs Vi Jungle in patch 15.16 (25.16), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 57.1% in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

Balanced meta clash: Naafiri (2.4%, 35th place out of 58 Jungle champions) regularly faces Vi (3.7%, 21st place). Both champions hold solid meta positions, making this matchup knowledge a direct path to climbing and improving your win rate. Surprising upset: Despite Naafiri's higher tier rating, Vi wins 54.5% of encounters. This suggests Vi's kit specifically counters Naafiri's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Electrocute + Sudden Impact combination (83.8% win rate) plus optimal itemization Eclipse, Spear of Shojin, Serylda's Grudge, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 45.5% to 57.1% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Naafiri's superior farming (6.79 vs 5.97/min, 16th among Jungle) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.82 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Naafiri outputs more damage (641 vs 597/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Strong individual performance: Naafiri maintains better KDA (3.00, 8th place vs 45th for Vi), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Vi as Naafiri (Jungle)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Naafiri deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Vi deals mainly physical damage (91.66%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Naafiri is higher farming statistics (ranked 16th among role champions) (versus 34th for Vi), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.5 versus 3.0) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Naafiri Jungle versus Vi Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Naafiri player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Vi player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Naafiri tips:

  • Across the sands of Shurima, a chorus of howls rings out. It is the call of the dune hounds, voracious predators who form packs and compete for the right to hunt in these barren lands. Among them, one pack stands above all, for they are driven not only by canine instincts, but by the ancient power of the Darkin.

Playing Against Vi

  • A fully charged Vault breaker deals double damage. If you see Vi start to charge you should back off or try to dodge it.
  • Vi will shred your Armor and gain Attack Speed if she manages to hit you three times in a row. Try not to engage in extended brawls with her.
  • Vi cannot be stopped while using her ult. Remember to save your displacement effects until after she's done charging.
