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
  ナイトハンター

  敵チャンピオンに向かって移動する時、移動速度が増加する。

• Q
  タンブル

  指定方向に前転して移動し、次の攻撃の準備をする。「タンブル」発動後の最初の通常攻撃は追加ダメージを与える。

  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
  シルバーボルト

  邪悪な存在が嫌う銀の矢を、クロスボウにつがえる。同じ対象に通常攻撃またはスキルを3回連続で命中させると、対象の最大体力に比例する追加確定ダメージが発生する。

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

• E
  パニッシュメント

  背中に担いだ特大クロスボウを構え、指定対象に巨大な矢を撃ち込む。矢を受けたユニットはノックバックされダメージを受ける。ノックバック中に対象が地形に衝突した場合は、追加のダメージが発生し、スタン状態になる。

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

• R
  ファイナルアワー

  敵を殲滅すべく特大クロスボウを構え、攻撃力が増加する。効果時間中は「タンブル」発動時にインビジブル状態になり、「タンブル」のクールダウンが短縮される。また、「ナイトハンター」の移動速度増加量が上昇する。

  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.
