Statistical Matchup Analysis

Balanced meta clash: Vi (4.3%, 19th place out of 54 Jungle champions) regularly faces Naafiri (2.4%, 33rd place). Both champions hold solid meta positions, making this matchup knowledge a direct path to climbing and improving your win rate. Silver lining: While Vi's 47.3% overall win rate (52nd among Jungle) struggles in the current meta, this matchup against Naafiri offers a bright spot for dedicated players. Amplify your advantage: The Conqueror + Triumph rune setup achieves 60.4% win rate (1.3% popularity), while the core build Trinity Force > Sundered Sky > Black Cleaver with Plated Steelcaps (64.0% win rate) lets you snowball advantages into guaranteed victories by 15 minutes.

Win through macro: Vi takes the matchup (54.35%) despite falling behind in CS (5.23 vs 5.96/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 590/min), the 54.4% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Vi wins the matchup (54.4%) despite a lower KDA (2.50 vs 2.90). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Naafiri as Vi (Jungle)

The Vi versus Naafiri 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. Naafiri deals mainly physical damage (91.37%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Naafiri, ranking 27th (versus 52nd for Vi) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.9 versus 2.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Vi Jungle versus Naafiri 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 Naafiri, 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.
