Farm safe, short trades around the AA→Q reset and clean exits. No all-in without wall angle or sum of enemy down.
Mid
Two-item spike: look for 2v2/3v3 controlled, then converted into objectives.
Late
Front-to-back patient: keeps E for priority threats, keeps R for decisive fights.

Recall clean to BORK; play with your support to fix a target and reset Q safely.
Mid
Take the outer towers, then play around the dragon with Vision and Quicksilver ready.
Late
Perfect positioning; don't slam Q out of combat, keep it to threaten the dodge/stun wall.
Early
Wave management for favorable ganks; avoids extended trades against bruisers before BORK.

Split if safe, otherwise regroup; Vayne wins extended duels, not cold engages.

Levels 5, 9, and 13
R power + stealth on Q: big jump in outplay and survivability.
How to Play
- Don't slam your Q to push without vision: save it for resetting AA or dodging a key spell.
- Your winning battles are prolonged: avoid head-on bursts, force skirmishes on open terrain.
- Ping your missing and don't get stuck without Q/R; play the deep vision before moving on.
- Respect the committed supports: position yourself behind 2 lines and keep Vif-Argent for the most threatening tool.
- Convert each kill into a plate or dragon; Vayne scale, but you need to speed up your 2ᵉ object.
Playing Against
- Against Vayne, punish every offensive roll: without Q, she has no reset and no easy dodge.
- Targeted controls and anti-heal greatly reduce their impact; force short fights/bursts.
- Gank when his Q is down; force the long wave to limit his kiting.
- Build bruiser burst (execution/anti-heal) and don't let duels drag on.
- Ward the flanks: Vayne loves to arrive through the fog with R → Q.
