While statistically Vi is slightly stronger than Nidalee in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
Except for rare builds, Vi deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Nidalee deals primarily magic damage (83.59%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Nidalee, ranking 23rd (versus 50th 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.
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 Nidalee, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
