Nocturne vs Vi Matchup Summary
The Nocturne vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 92 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 53.3% win rate compared to Nocturne's 46.7%, giving Vi a 6.5 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Nocturne controls the early laning stage, but Vi outscales as the game goes longer.

Vi has a strong advantage in this matchup. Nocturne players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Vi overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
