Who Wins
- You lose early trades due to Vayne's range advantage and your lack of gap-closing tools pre-2.
- Post-6 you dominate all-ins with R active, as your defensive stats and sustained damage output far exceed Vayne's burst potential.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around Q-W-auto combos when Vayne mispositions, then using E to block her retaliation damage.
- Always activate R before extended fights to maximize your defensive stats and damage output.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and looking for opportunities to freeze the wave near your tower.
- Once you have items and levels, you can force longer trades and all-ins that Vayne cannot match.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q to gap-close when Vayne has E available, as she'll immediately disengage and you'll be left vulnerable.
- Avoid chasing extended trades without R active, as Vayne's kiting and percent health damage can punish overextension.
