Who Wins
- You win level 2 fights decisively with your range advantage and Bard's Q setup potential.
- At level 6, Vayne's R gives her survivability but you still maintain control through superior range and headshot trades.
Synergy & Trading
- Use your range to auto-attack freely while Bard positions for Q angles, then follow up with Q when enemies are stunned or slowed.
- Place W traps behind stunned targets to guarantee headshot procs and extend the trade duration.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push aggressively early to establish range control and deny Vayne farm, using Q to clear waves quickly.
- Maintain slow pushes when ahead to set up dives with Bard's roam potential and tunnel ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your E defensively against Rakan's engage unless he has already used W, as you need it to escape his R-W combo.
- Don't get baited into extended trades in minion waves where Vayne can use Q to reposition and minimize your range advantage.
