How to beat Vayne

Common role: ADC

A hyper-carry marksman who shreds tanks with true damage and rolls to reposition.

What makes Vayne dangerous

Vayne's Silver Bolts deal percent-max-health true damage every third hit, melting tanks and squishies alike. Her Q roll repositions and can reset her bolts, her E stuns you against walls, and her ultimate grants stealth and bonus damage. She's weak early but a monstrous late-game duelist.

How to play against Vayne

• 1Punish her early — Vayne is one of the weakest lane ADCs before items. All-in her botlane in the first 10 minutes with an aggressive support.
• 2Keep her away from walls — her E (Condemn) stuns only if it knocks you into terrain. Fight in open areas to avoid the stun.
• 3Blow up her positioning: she's melee-range on her carry pattern and very squishy. Hard CC or an assassin catches her before her ult stealth resets.
• 4Don't try to out-tank her — her true damage ignores armor. Kill her fast or peel her out of the fight instead.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Very weak early game and short attack range.
• ✓Squishy with only her roll for defense.
• ✓E only stuns near walls — open ground denies it.
• ✓Falls apart if caught before she can kite.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Vayne's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Cacciatrice notturna

  Vayne dà la caccia ai malfattori in modo implacabile e guadagna velocità di movimento mentre si muove verso i campioni nemici vicini.

• Q
  Capriola

  Vayne fa una capriola, cercando di piazzare il suo prossimo colpo con precisione. Il suo prossimo attacco infligge danni bonus.

  Strong: a roll that repositions and can reset her bolts. Weak: short range and she's melee-range on her pattern — CC her mid-roll.

• W
  Dardi d'argento

  Vayne usa come punte dei suoi dardi un raro metallo, tossico per tutte le creature malvagie. Il terzo attacco o abilità consecutivi contro lo stesso bersaglio infliggono una percentuale della salute massima del bersaglio come danni puri bonus.

  Strong: Silver Bolts deal % max-health true damage, melting tanks. Weak: needs three hits to proc — burst her before she stacks it.

• E
  Condanna

  Vayne estrae la sua balestra pesante dalla schiena e spara un grosso dardo al suo bersaglio, infliggendo danni e respingendolo. Se collide contro un muro, il suo avversario rimane impalato, subisce danni bonus ed è stordito.

  Strong: stuns you if it knocks you into a wall. Weak: only stuns near terrain — fight in open areas to deny it.

• R
  Ora finale

  Preparandosi per un confronto epico, Vayne guadagna attacco fisico aumentato, Invisibilità durante Capriola, ricarica ridotta per Capriola e una velocità di movimento bonus maggiore da Cacciatrice notturna.

  Strong: stealth and bonus damage let her reposition and reset. Weak: she's still melee-range — hard CC catches her before the stealth saves her.

Itemization

Vayne's true damage ignores armor, so don't rely on stacking it. Burst her down, use hard CC and Exhaust, and Grievous Wounds counters lifesteal builds. QSS on the target removes her E stun setups indirectly via mobility.
