Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior sustain and zone control with Q poke and E spirit pulls.
- Post-6 you dominate if Vayne gets caught by E, but she can kite you effectively in open areas without walls.
How to Trade
- Look to land E on Vayne then immediately W the spirit while using Q to hit both her and the spirit for maximum damage.
- If she stays to fight the spirit, follow up with additional Qs and Ws to chunk her heavily.
Wave Control
- Push waves hard with Q to force Vayne under tower where she struggles to CS and is more vulnerable to E pulls.
- Maintain minion advantage to make your E-W-Q combos more threatening and limit her mobility options.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never chase Vayne into open areas or river without vision as she will kite you to death with Q rolls and E condemn.
- Don't waste E on minions when she's in range as it's your only reliable engage tool.
