Vayne Power Spikes (Patch 26.19)
SupportWhen Vayne Support gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Vayne wins most.
- Lv 3All three basic abilities at level 3Vayne's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
- Lv 6Ultimate rank 1 at level 6The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Vayne hits it.
- Lv 11Ultimate rank 2 at level 11Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Vayne can start or win.
- Lv 16Ultimate rank 3 at level 16Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Vayne can start or win.
Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.
Vayne Mid and Late Game
What Vayne does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Vayne wins 30.0 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.
Mistakes to avoid
- Vision is a weak spot (19/100): buy Control Wards and sweep before you face-check.
Playing Vayne
- Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.
- Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.
- Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.
Playing Against Vayne
- Vayne is fragile - turn the pressure up on her and she will be forced to play cautiously.
- Deny Vayne the opportunity to pin you against walls.
