Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades with proper weapon management, especially Calibrum poke into Crescendum follow-up, but lose post-6 due to Vayne's R mobility making her nearly untouchable in extended fights.
- Vel'Koz R also provides too much zone control for you to position safely.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Calibrum Q to poke from max range, then swap to Crescendum for chakram stacking when Sona lands Q poke on enemies.
- Always position behind minions to avoid Vel'Koz Q while maintaining Calibrum range advantage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves with Infernum to establish range control, then maintain slow pushes to deny Vayne farm while staying healthy.
- Avoid hard shoving after level 6 unless you have vision, as Vayne scales too well with safe farming.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight extended trades post-6 without summoners or jungle help, as Vayne's R makes her impossible to pin down while Vel'Koz provides too much follow-up damage.
- Don't waste Gravitum root on Vayne when her Q is available, save it for Vel'Koz or when she's already committed.
