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
  暗夜猎手

  薇恩毫不留情的猎杀世间邪恶，向附近敌方英雄移动时会获得移动速度。

• Q
  闪避突袭

  薇恩进行翻滚，并小心地填充她的下一发射击。她的下次攻击造成额外伤害。

  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
  圣银弩箭

  薇恩用稀有金属制作弩箭，让邪恶敌人中毒。对同一目标的第3次攻击或技能施放会对其造成额外真实伤害，数值相当于目标最大生命值的一定百分比。

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

• E
  恶魔审判

  薇恩从背部展开一张重弩，并且朝她的目标发射一根巨型弩箭，将目标击退并造成伤害。如果目标与地形产生碰撞，那么目标会被贯穿，对其造成额外伤害和晕眩效果。

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

• R
  终极时刻

  薇恩准备进行史诗般的对决，她的攻击力得到提高，能在闪避突袭期间进入隐形状态，闪避突袭的冷却时间缩短，并且暗夜猎手（被动）提供更多移动速度。

  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.
