Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to Vayne's range advantage and your lack of gap closing tools, but you become dominant at level 6.
- Your R-E-Q combo provides guaranteed engage potential that she cannot effectively counter without perfect positioning.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using Q for poke and slow, then looking for R-E-Q all-ins when she's in range.
- Short trades with just Q are acceptable early, but your real power comes from full combos once you have ultimate available.
Wave Control
- You should focus on safe farming and avoiding extended trades until level 6, using Q to last hit from range when possible.
- Once you have R, you can look for aggressive positioning to threaten all-ins and control wave state through pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your R for minor trades since it's your primary tool for killing Vayne and staying relevant in lane.
- Avoid chasing extended trades early game when she can kite you effectively with Q repositioning and superior sustained damage.
