Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Veigar's Q poke and Zilean's Q-W-Q combo having longer range than your abilities.
- Post-6 you still struggle as Veigar's R can burst Vayne through your E shield and Zilean's R negates your disengage.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to slow enemies when Vayne goes for short Q-auto trades, then immediately E her for the shield and AD boost during her trade.
- Your Q should be held as disengage when enemies try to follow up on their poke.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently as this lane is difficult to win through direct fighting.
- Optimal timings are when Vayne has pushed the wave and backed, or when enemies are low on mana after extended poke sessions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q aggressively for poke as it's your only reliable disengage tool against Veigar's E cage.
- Getting caught without Q up often results in death against this burst-heavy composition.
