Lane Phase

Trading Patterns

Safe Poke

Auto-attack Vayne when she's locked in her attack animation for a minion, then immediately use on her to proc and move back.

Punish

Wait for Vayne to use to execute a minion. Without her dash, she cannot easily dodge . Land the root and follow up with a full trade.

All-in

Land -> Auto -> -> for the execute. Use if she tries to return fire to make her lose target vision.

Respect

•
Terrain positioning — If pins you to a wall, you cannot use or to save yourself.
•
procs — The true damage ignores your armor; long trades always favor Vayne.
•
invisibility — She can reposition while invisible, making it impossible to land or target her with .
•
Level 6 power spike — She gains massive kill pressure. If you are past the midpoint of the lane, she can run you down.

Punish

•
is used for farm — Immediately fire . She has no mobility to dodge the root.
•
Early levels (1-3) — Aggressively poke with and autos. She has no sustain to match yours.
•
She misses — You can play more aggressively near walls for the next 20 seconds.
•
Cannon minions — Vayne players hate losing cannons; trade heavily when she goes for the last hit.

Wave Management

Early

Slow push the wave. Keeping a large minion lead makes it harder for her to trade into you, and you can poke her under her own tower.

Post-6

Keep the wave near your tower. Vayne excels in long lanes where she can chase you down with . Don't give her the space to run.
