Who Wins
- Pre-6: Vayne wins through superior range and kiting potential, making it difficult for you to stack Determination consistently.
- Post-6: You gain kill pressure with R engage potential, but Vayne's E can still deny your all-ins if she positions well near walls.
How to Trade
- Look for W pulls when Vayne steps up for CS, then immediately Q for the double strike and healing to win short trades.
- Avoid extended chases without your abilities up, as her sustained DPS with W procs will outdamage you without Determination stacks.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to hit power spikes first, then look to freeze near your tower once Vayne gains range advantage.
- This forces her to overextend for CS, creating opportunities for W pulls and jungle ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W on minions or use it when Vayne has E available to immediately disengage.
- Missing your pull means losing your only reliable engage tool and giving her free poke windows.
