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
Nocna ŁowczyniVayne bezwzględnie poluje na złoczyńców, zyskując prędkość ruchu podczas poruszania się w kierunku wrogich bohaterów.
Q
AkrobacjaVayne wykonuje akrobację, by ustawić się do następnego strzału. Jej następny atak zada dodatkowe obrażenia.
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
Srebrne BełtyVayne stosuje bełty zakończone szlachetnym metalem, toksycznym dla złych istot. Trzeci atak z kolei lub użycie umiejętności przeciw temu samemu celowi zadaje mu dodatkowe, nieuchronne obrażenia równe części jego maksymalnego zdrowia.
Strong: Silver Bolts deal % max-health true damage, melting tanks. Weak: needs three hits to proc — burst her before she stacks it.
E
PotępienieVayne zdejmuje z pleców ciężką kuszę i wystrzeliwuje w cel ogromny bełt, zadając obrażenia, które odrzucają go do tyłu. Jeśli wróg trafi w teren, zostanie przebity, co zada dodatkowe obrażenia i ogłuszy go.
Strong: stuns you if it knocks you into a wall. Weak: only stuns near terrain — fight in open areas to deny it.
R
Godzina SąduPrzygotowując się do wiekopomnego starcia, Vayne otrzymuje premię do obrażeń od ataku, staje się niewidzialna podczas Akrobacji, ma krótszy czas odnowienia Akrobacji oraz zyskuje większą premię do prędkości ruchu od Nocnej Łowczyni.
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.
