Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades due to superior range and kiting potential with passive, especially when Pyke lands Q hooks.
- Post-6 becomes more even as Vayne gains R stealth and mobility, but you still maintain advantage in extended fights with your kiting.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q poke when Vayne steps up for CS, then follow up with auto-E-auto when Pyke lands Q hook for maximum rend stacks.
- Always position to use passive hops toward your tower or away from Thresh Q angles.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to establish range advantage and deny Vayne farm, but avoid overextending past river without vision.
- Freeze when ahead to zone Vayne from CS, as she struggles to break freezes safely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E for waveclear when enemies are in range to engage, as you lose your primary damage tool.
- Avoid hopping toward Thresh when he has Q available, as it makes his hook prediction easier.
