Mechanical Tips

  • Silver Bolts (true damage passive): every 3 consecutive auto-attacks on the same target, Vayne deals true damage proportional to the enemy’s maximum HP — NEVER switch targets if 2 stacks are active; finish all 3 auto-attacks on the same target
  • Tumble animation cancel: Tumble can cancel the auto-attack animation — press 1 as soon as an auto-attack is cast to immediately reposition and fire more quickly
  • Condemn + wall: Condemn only stuns if the enemy is knocked into terrain — position yourself so that the target is between Vayne and a wall before casting
  • Tumble invisibility during ultimate: During Final Hour, Tumbles grant brief invisibility — vary your Tumble angles to make enemy CC less predictable

Common Mistakes

  • Switching targets with 2 stacks of Silver Bolts: wasting 2 stacks to attack an adjacent tank or minion is a massive loss of DPS — commit to a target until the actual damage is dealt
  • Condemn into thin air: Using Condemn without an adjacent wall only causes knockback without a stun — do not use it in open areas as your primary CC
  • Predictable Tumble during your ultimate: always tumbling in the same direction allows enemies to anticipate your landing position and apply CC in the right spot — vary your angles

Notable Interactions

  • Silver Bolts deal a percentage of maximum HP as true damage — extremely powerful against tanks (Malphite, Cho’Gath) with high HP
  • Vayne is one of the best counters to tank-heavy compositions — build attack speed items (Blade of the Ruined King, Guinsoo’s) to cycle stacks more quickly
  • Final Hour passively doubles AD bonuses — with Trinity Force, the burst damage during her ultimate is considerable
