Who Wins
- Pre-6: Even matchup if you can land hooks, but their range advantage makes it difficult.
- Post-6: Still challenging as Mel's W can reflect damage and her R provides execute threat in extended fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for hook opportunities when they step forward to poke, then flay immediately for guaranteed CC chain.
- Use lantern to help Vayne engage or disengage from their superior range advantage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Yes, roam when the wave is pushing toward your tower and Vayne can farm safely.
- Best timing is after successful recalls or when enemies back, as your roam impact is higher than staying in losing lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't hook when Mel has W up - she can reflect the engage back and turn the fight.
- Avoid predictable hook patterns as Caitlyn can trap your landing spot and Mel can E root for easy follow-up.
