Farm toward a real first entry

0:00–8:00; use level-3 contact, the 2:55 Scuttler, and the 8:00 Voidgrub spawn as conditional route checks.

From the opening camps through the first objective cycle, default to a full clear when lanes lack reliable setup or the enemy wins the early river duel. End near a lane with visible overextension or near the 2:55 Scuttler, then base or take a gank only if W can reach the target. Choose a three-camp path when the lane is extended, an ally can follow, and the enemy route is exposed. When ahead, use lane priority to enter the enemy jungle only if the opposing jungler's position makes the camp contest safe; when behind, keep farming and avoid making the first death your enemy's wraith.

Path

Choose a clear that preserves the reset window

If you have a reachable level-3 target, at least one nearby lane can move first, and the enemy jungler's route is exposed, then use a three-camp path toward that contact during the first river-fight window. If any condition is missing, use a conditioned full clear toward the lane or objective side that supports your win condition; Viego gains more from arriving healthy with W and E available than from forcing a low-probability duel.

With Viego

• If Viego is near an objective setup, give him a visible, safe route to the first target rather than starting a blind fight. Push the nearest wave and hold the entrance he wants to use; if an enemy enters the E area, your damage can create the wraith that starts his second phase.
• If Viego has begun attacking one target, follow that target instead of splitting damage across the enemy team. Once the target falls, keep the next dangerous enemy controlled while Viego decides whether the wraith is safe; do not require him to dive farther just because a body appeared.
• If Viego is behind, help him recover through uncontested camps, side-wave access, and picks with numbers. When the team cannot safely contest an objective, move together to take the cross-map play rather than asking Viego to win a blind Smite fight.
