Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior sustain and blob management, as Vayne cannot effectively punish your farming or short trades.
- Post-6 you become significantly stronger with R engage potential, though Vayne's E can interrupt your ultimate if she positions well.
How to Trade
- Look for E-Q combos when Vayne steps up to last hit, then immediately back off to avoid extended trades where her W passive becomes problematic.
- Your goal is short burst trades followed by sustain recovery, not prolonged fights.
Wave Control
- Push waves early to create minion advantages for your E angles, then look to freeze near your tower once you have item components.
- This forces Vayne to overextend for CS while giving you gank setup opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never commit to extended trades in minion waves where Vayne can kite you with Q while proccing W stacks.
- Respect her early game damage output and don't assume your tankiness alone will win trades without proper ability rotations.
