Statistical Matchup Analysis

Vi maintains steady 4.3% popularity but rarely encounters niche pick Gwen (1.1%, 44th place out of 54 Jungle champions). While not a priority matchup to study, understanding it protects against off-meta cheese picks that can catch you unprepared. Silver lining: While Vi's 47.3% overall win rate (52nd among Jungle) struggles in the current meta, this matchup against Gwen offers a bright spot for dedicated players. Amplify your advantage: The Conqueror + Triumph rune setup achieves 57.3% win rate (14.5% popularity), while the core build Trinity Force > Sundered Sky > Black Cleaver with Plated Steelcaps (64.6% win rate) lets you snowball advantages into guaranteed victories by 15 minutes.

Win through macro: Vi takes the matchup (54.57%) despite falling behind in CS (5.23 vs 6.61/min). Your victories come through roaming, team fighting, and map pressure rather than 1v1 lane dominance. Quality over quantity: Vi wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (560 vs 682/min), the 54.6% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Statistical dominance: Vi leads in both matchup win rate (54.6%) and KDA (2.50 vs 2.40) - complete superiority across all metrics.

How to Beat Gwen as Vi (Jungle)

The Vi versus Gwen matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Vi deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Gwen deals primarily magic damage (71.33%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Gwen, ranking 11th (versus 52nd for Vi) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Vi Jungle versus Gwen Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Vi player to maintain constant pressure on Gwen, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Vi tips:

  • A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.
  • Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.
  • Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

Playing Against Gwen

  • Gwen's Hallowed Mist shroud will only follow her once, after that it will dissipate when she leaves.
  • Gwen must hit something to recast her Ultimate, try to evade her between casts.
  • Gwen needs to attack a few times to set up her damage, so try to get the jump on her.
