Who Wins
- You lose early levels due to Vayne's range advantage and your lack of gap closing power, but you become heavily favored post-6 when R provides the sustain and damage to run her down.
- Level 2 Q-E combo can catch her if she mispositions, but she generally controls the early lane.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q onto her for vital proc, then immediately W to block her return damage or E for the slow if she tries to kite away.
- Extended trades always favor you due to your sustain and higher DPS once you stick to her.
Wave Control
- You want to push waves and look for all-in opportunities rather than trying to freeze, as Vayne will poke you down in extended laning phases.
- Creating minion advantages helps you run her down through the wave when you engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your W parry on her basic attacks or Q tumble damage - save it for her E condemn which can stun you against walls and turn fights.
- Missing your parry against her key CC ability leaves you vulnerable to her kiting and jungle assistance.
