Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through minion wave positioning and Q stacks, as Vayne lacks sustain and struggles with your mobility.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage if you can land R, but Vayne's E can interrupt your engage and her R stealth creates outplay potential.
How to Trade
- You want to build Q stacks on minions then E through the wave to gap close with Q3 tornado, forcing short trades before backing out.
- Extended trades favor Vayne due to her W true damage, so commit to quick burst patterns or all-ins only.
Wave Control
- You should maintain a slow push to build up minions for E mobility while keeping the wave slightly on your side for safety.
- Avoid hard shoving as Vayne can freeze and deny you minion access for your E dashes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must not waste your W on Vayne's Q as it's her lowest impact ability - save it for her E knockback or R stealth activation.
- Getting knocked into walls by her E while overextended is often fatal since you lose your escape mobility.
