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
어둠 사냥꾼베인이 악당을 무자비하게 사냥합니다. 근처 적 챔피언에게 접근할 때 이동 속도가 증가합니다.
Q
구르기베인이 구르기를 하며 다음 공격 대상을 신중하게 선택합니다. 베인의 다음 공격은 추가 피해를 입힙니다.
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
은화살베인이 사악한 존재에게만 피해를 주는 특수 금속이 달린 볼트를 사용합니다. 같은 대상에게 세 번째 공격 또는 스킬이 명중하면 대상 최대 체력에 비례한 고정 피해를 추가로 입힙니다.
Strong: Silver Bolts deal % max-health true damage, melting tanks. Weak: needs three hits to proc — burst her before she stacks it.
E
선고베인이 등에서 커다란 석궁을 뽑아 거대한 볼트를 발사하여 대상을 뒤로 날려보내고 대상에게 피해를 줍니다. 지형과 부딪힌 대상은 지형에 꽂힌 채 추가 피해를 받고 기절합니다.
Strong: stuns you if it knocks you into a wall. Weak: only stuns near terrain — fight in open areas to deny it.
R
결전의 시간격렬한 전투에 대비한 베인이 공격력을 높이고 구르기 시 투명 상태가 되며 구르기의 재사용 대기시간이 줄어듭니다. 어둠 사냥꾼의 이동 속도 증가량이 더 늘어납니다.
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.
