Vayne Counters
Champions that beat Vayne
- Ashebot
Volley (W) hits at 1200 range with Frost Shot perma-slow, well beyond Vayne's 550 auto range. Tumble (Q) gives no real escape pre-Final Hour (R), so every Silver Bolts (W) stack attempt eats a slowed retreat and a free Ranger's Focus (Q) burst from Ashe.
- Caitlynbot
Caitlyn's lane bully arrives before Vayne's 2-3 item spike. Piltover Peacemaker (Q) outranges Tumble (Q) reposition, and Yordle Snap Trap (W) catches Condemn (E) wall-pin attempts before she can stack Silver Bolts (W).
- Corkibot
Missile Barrage (R) long-range poke shoves Vayne under tower before her hyper-carry scaling comes online. Trinity Force out-paces her 2-3 item spike if early lane is denied with Phosphorus Bomb (Q) zoning around Tumble (Q) range.
- Jannasupport
Howling Gale (Q) knock-up cancels Tumble (Q) reset cast mid-air and Monsoon (R) pushes Vayne out of Silver Bolts (W) range during the wind-up. Eye Of The Storm (E) shields the ally ADC to zero trades and Tailwind passive moves the lane back.
- Lulusupport
Whimsy (W) polymorphs Vayne mid Tumble (Q) cancel-cast, denying short-trade windows. Help, Pix! (E) shields her ADC's trade to zero and Wild Growth (R) knock-up plus HP buff ends every all-in attempt before Silver Bolts (W) third-hit lands.
- Shentop
Tumble (Q) is a short dash and Silver Bolts (W) third-hit true damage needs three autos in sequence. Spirit's Refuge (W) drops in front of Vayne and denies the autos that fuel Silver Bolts, while Shadow Dash (E) taunt locks her before Final Hour (R) invisibility kicks in.
- Varusbot
Piercing Arrow (Q) at 925 out-pokes Vayne 550 auto-attack range and Hail of Arrows (E) zones her off positioning every wave. Chain of Corruption (R) roots her through minions before she can Tumble (Q) sideways into Condemn (E) wall setup.
- Yunarabot
Vayne's Tumble Q requires closing to roughly 550 attack range to land Silver Bolts W procs. Yunara's Arc of Judgment W slows at 1150 and Cultivation of Spirit Q on-hit plus attack speed wins the level 2-3 short trade before Vayne sticks on Yunara.
Champions Vayne beats
- Cho'Gathtop
Silver Bolts (W) max-HP true damage scales hard against Cho'Gath's Feast (R) HP stacks, melting through his bulk. Tumble (Q) repositions out of Rupture (Q) knock-up and Feral Scream (W) silence cone, while Condemn (E) ends his Vorpal Spikes (E) walk-up auto trade pattern.
- Dr Mundojungle
Silver Bolts (W) max-HP true damage scales against Mundo's huge HP stat from Goes Where He Pleases passive and Maximum Dosage (R) bonus HP, faster than Heart Zapper (W) drain can heal back. Condemn (E) stuns him against terrain during Infected Bonesaw (Q) cleaver poke.
- Garentop
Condemn (E) knocks Garen out of Decisive Strike (Q) range and stuns him against terrain; Tumble (Q) steps her clear each time Garen closes, so Q plus auto never lands and Perseverance (P) gets no time to heal. Silver Bolts (W) true damage shreds through Courage (W) resistances.
- Gnartop
Tumble (Q) auto-resets out-poke Mini Boomerang Throw (Q) max-range trades; Silver Bolts (W) true damage shreds Mega HP through Crunch (W) tankiness. Condemn (E) pins Gnar to a wall denying Hop (E) repositioning during the trade.
- Gragastop
Tumble (Q) auto-resets shred Gragas from outside Barrel Roll (Q) range and walk away from his Body Slam (E) commit. Silver Bolts (W) true damage scales with his HP build, and Condemn (E) wall-stun pins him during the W damage reduction window.
- Gwentop
Gwen needs melee range to apply on-hit AP and Snip Snip! (Q) true damage; Tumble (Q) auto-reset kites her engage at 550 range. Condemn (E) wall-stun pins her outside Hallowed Mist (W) area, and Silver Bolts (W) true damage matches Q damage type.
- Illaoitop
Tumble (Q) auto-reset shreds Illaoi from outside Harsh Lesson (W) 400 leap range; every step she takes to close gives Vayne another Silver Bolts (W) true damage tick. Condemn (E) wall-stun pins her outside Tentacle radius, denying engage chain.
- Ireliatop
Tumble (Q) auto-resets shred Irelia from outside Flawless Duet (E) range, and Condemn (E) wall-stun pins her during a Bladesurge (Q) dash. Silver Bolts (W) true damage scales with her HP build — Irelia needs Stridebreaker just to engage.
- Jaxtop
Condemn (E) interrupts a Q-flash all-in by knocking Jax into a wall for the stun. Tumble (Q) repositions out of Counter Strike's recast range and Silver Bolts (W) true damage shreds Jax through Sterak's Gage before Relentless Assault ramps.
- Jhinbot
Tumble (Q) takes Vayne out of the bounce chain of Dancing Grenade (Q) and Final Hour (R) invisibility breaks Curtain Call (R) lock-on mid-channel. Silver Bolts (W) true damage shreds Jhin's no-armor frame and Condemn (E) wall-stuns him during reload.
- K'Santetop
Tumble (Q) plus Silver Bolts (W) true damage bypasses every point of armour you bought, and Path Maker (W) only cuts it by 30%, so the fight is decided on raw health. Condemn (E) wall-stuns you out of All Out (R) range mid-cast, and she simply walks backwards out of the W charge.
- Kledtop
Tumble (Q) plus Silver Bolts (W) true damage shreds Skaarl HP through Kled's Conqueror ramp, and Condemn (E) knocks Skaarl off mid-yank — Kled dismounts mid-trade. Final Hour (R) invisibility breaks Bear Trap on a Rope (Q) target lock, and Tumble repositions outside 800 range.
- Lucianbot
Tumble (Q) repositions Vayne behind Lucian during Lightslinger (P) cooldown windows and Silver Bolts (W) percent-HP procs out-trade Press the Attack burst past minute 25.
- Malphitetop
Vayne pokes from outside Malphite's auto-attack range and Tumble (Q) disengages Unstoppable Force (R) dash with reposition. Silver Bolts (W) percent-HP true damage shreds Malphite's tank stats and Condemn (E) knock-back interrupts Seismic Shard (Q) gap-close.
- Mordekaisertop
Mordekaiser has no dash and no ranged poke; Tumble (Q) plus Silver Bolts (W) percent-HP true damage out-trade from outside Death's Grasp (E) range, and Condemn (E) knock-back interrupts the Obliterate (Q) windup before Realm of Death (R) can ever be pressed.
- Nasustop
Vayne sits outside Siphoning Strike (Q) range and chips Nasus's HP for free with Silver Bolts (W) percent-HP true damage autos. Tumble (Q) repositions out of Wither (W) range and Condemn (E) knock-back interrupts Fury of the Sands (R) chase.
- Neekotop
Condemn (E) knock-back resets Tangle-Barbs (E) setup and Tumble (Q) repositions out of Pop Blossom (R) AOE cast. Silver Bolts (W) percent-HP true damage shreds Neeko's Riftmaker HP buffer and Final Hour (R) bonus AD denies her short engage range.
- Olaftop
Vayne's Tumble takes her out of Reckless Swing range every few seconds, and Silver Bolts deal true damage no armor reduces. Condemn pins Olaf against a wall for a stun Ragnarok can cleanse but not prevent, and every second stunned is free damage for her.
- Poppytop
Tumble is a dash, so Steadfast Presence does stop it, but Tumble is back every 6 seconds at rank 1 and every 2 seconds at rank 5, while Steadfast Presence comes back only every 20. Poppy cannot deny them all. Silver Bolts true damage chews through her Armor stacks in between.
- Quinntop
Vayne's Silver Bolts shred Quinn's HP with true damage that armor does not reduce, and from two items on she out-damages Quinn in any extended trade. Condemn knocks Quinn into a wall for a long stun, cancelling the Vault retreat that her whole trade pattern is built on.
- Renektontop
Vayne sits outside Ruthless Predator range and stacks Silver Bolts true damage every third auto. Tumble repositions her out of Slice and Dice range, and Condemn flings Renekton back into his own minion line, stranding him with no dash while she resets the trade.
- Riventop
Tumble (Q) is a short dash that resets her auto rhythm from outside Broken Wings (Q) range, Silver Bolts (W) stacks true damage on the third hit, and Condemn (E) knocks Riven back mid all-in step. She kites the Q combo every wave and snowballs into Final Hour (R).
- Samirabot
Samira engage requires Wild Rush (E) dash through minions into Vayne, who Condemn (E) knocks her into a side wall for a 1.5s stun before Inferno Trigger (R) channel can start. Silver Bolts (W) true damage resumes the instant Blade Whirl (W) stops eating her arrows.
- Setttop
Tumble (Q) resets Vayne's auto rhythm from outside Sett's 125 melee range and Silver Bolts (W) stacks true damage on the third hit. Sett has no dash to close, and Condemn (E) knock-back cancels Facebreaker (E) pull before Grit fills to threaten Haymaker (W).
- Singedtop
Silver Bolts (W) deals true damage on every third auto, ignoring all defensive stats — Singed's HP and resists do nothing. Tumble (Q) resets her auto rhythm out of Mega Adhesive (W) range, and Condemn (E) knock-back interrupts Fling (E) mid-cast.
- Siontop
Tumble (Q) is a short dash that keeps Vayne outside the Decimating Smash (Q) hitbox, and Silver Bolts (W) third-hit true damage on every third auto ignores Sion's stacked HP entirely. Condemn (E) knock-back interrupts Decimating Smash (Q) charge mid-windup.
- Sivirbot
Silver Bolts (W) applies true damage on every third auto and Night Hunter passive grants chase speed — neither uses a single ability for Spell Shield (E) to invalidate. Tumble (Q) plus Final Hour (R) invisibility keep her sticking on Sivir's 500 auto-attack range.
- Tahm Kenchtop
Vayne's Tumble Q dashes her outside Tongue Lash range on every auto, and Silver Bolts W applies true damage every third hit that scales with Tahm's max HP — exactly the stat he stacks.
- Trundletop
Tumble (Q) resets her attack outside Chomp (Q) range, and Silver Bolts (W) deals true damage every third hit, scaled to the Health he spends the game stacking. Condemn (E) walls him for a stun, and Night Hunter's speed lets her go around a Pillar of Ice (E) instead of into it.
- Tryndameretop
Silver Bolts (W) deals true damage every third hit, scaled to his Health, so she is ready the instant Undying Rage (R) drops. Final Hour (R) turns each Tumble (Q) into invisibility breaking a Spinning Slash (E) chase, and Condemn (E) walls him for a stun he cannot dash from.
- Udyrtop
Condemn (E) knockback ends Udyr R Wingborne Storm chase and pins him on terrain for a stun, while Silver Bolts (W) true damage shreds the W Iron Mantle shield because the third stack damage ignores armor and HP scaling, denying every all-in window once Final Hour (R) is up.
- Urgottop
Tumble (Q) resets Vayne outside Urgot's 475 Disdain range and W Purge channel, while Silver Bolts (W) true damage shreds his stacked HP. Condemn (E) ends every all-in with a knockback, and Final Hour (R) makes her faster and invisible on each Tumble, so the kite never breaks.
- Vladimirtop
Vayne Silver Bolts (W) deals true damage every third auto ignoring Vladimir HP stack from Crimson Pact, while Tumble (Q) resets spacing out of Transfusion (Q) range. Condemn (E) ends every Sanguine Pool (W) resurface attempt with terrain stun and Final Hour (R) crit kills.
- Volibeartop
Vayne Condemn (E) knocks Volibear out of attack range before the Thundering Smash (Q) stun auto lands, and pins him to terrain instead. Silver Bolts (W) true damage cuts through his Overgrowth health, and the Final Hour (R) invisibility makes Sky Splitter (E) a guess.
- Yasuomid
Yasuo engage requires closing to melee via Sweeping Blade (E), so Vayne Condemn (E) knocks him into a side wall for a 1.5s stun, then Tumble (Q) resets spacing. Silver Bolts (W) true damage shreds his Way of the Wanderer passive shield during Last Breath (R) burst.
- Yoricktop
Vayne out-trades Yorick inside her 550 attack range while Condemn (E) knocks him from his ghouls, and Silver Bolts (W) shreds Mist Walker HP through armour. Mourning Mist (E) reaches further at 700; the invisibility Final Hour (R) grants on Tumble breaks the mark, not the cage.
- Zacjungle
Silver Bolts W deal true damage every third hit, shredding Zac's tank HP pool faster than Cell Division passive can heal back. Tumble Q invisibility on Final Hour R lets Vayne reposition out of Stretching Strikes Q pull mid-air, and Condemn E stuns on terrain pin.
