The moment you see Vi, Destructive, you feel the kinetic force of her punch.
Her mechanical gauntlet blurs in mid-swing, tearing through steel plating while sparks and shards fly in every direction.
The mood is pure, unrestrained momentum—an instant captured at the climax of impact.
Illustration Breakdown
Vi dominates the foreground, lunging diagonally across the frame as if she’s breaking through the card itself. Her crimson hair whips backward under the force of her thrust, and her expression—eyes narrowed, jaw set—radiates fierce determination.
The gauntlet’s segmented plates catch the light in jagged reflections, emphasizing both the heft of her armor and the precision engineering beneath.
Behind her, the industrial Piltover backdrop dissolves into muted greys and greens, allowing the bright teal glow of energy circuits on her glove and the warm orange sparks to pop.
The angle is tilted, the horizon line skewed, suggesting that normal rules of gravity and space give way here. You can almost hear the howling of wind and the groan of bent metal.
The artist’s use of directional brushwork—streaks following the gauntlet’s arc—reinforces the sense of unstoppable motion.
Gameplay Integration
Mechanically, Vi, Destructive is a 2-cost, 3-power Champion Unit with Piltover affiliation and the Ganking keyword:
Ganking (I can move from battlefield to battlefield.)
Recycle 1 from your trash: Give me +1 defense this turn.
The art’s depiction of Vi smashing through an armored target aligns perfectly with her ability to jump lanes and threaten any battlefield.
Her coiled pose—ready to pivot—mirrors Ganking’s lane-shift mechanic. The sparks and fragmented armor plates represent the “recycle” trigger: each time you fuel her resilience from the graveyard, she emerges stronger, just as the shards of metal and energy flare reflect renewed power.
Vi’s unbreakable pose underlines her incremental toughness, turning a 3/3 into a 3/4 or beyond with each recycle.
