Playing as Vayne

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Three hits on the same target

    Hit the same target three times in a row, with autos or spells: on the third hit, Silver Bolts (W) adds true damage based on their max health.

  2. Tumble between autos

    Slip a Tumble (Q) between two autos: you reposition, and your next attack deals bonus damage. Its cooldown drops from 6 to 2 seconds.

  3. Pin your target to a wall

    Position yourself so that Condemn (E) pushes your target into a wall: if they hit terrain, they're stunned and take more damage.

  4. Be patient before your items

    Play safe while you're missing your first items: Vayne mostly shines later, when Silver Bolts (W) cuts through big health pools.

  5. Tumble unseen during your ult

    During Final Hour (R), each Tumble (Q) makes you invisible for a moment and comes back faster: tumble to reposition while the enemy can't target you.

Playing against Jayce

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Watch for the orb behind his gate

    When he places Acceleration Gate (E), expect Shock Blast (Q) through it: the orb gains speed, range and damage.

  2. Back off when he goes hammer

    If you have range, back off when he switches to hammer: Mercury Hammer (R) makes him tankier, and he can't go back to cannon for 6 seconds.

  3. Engage after his Thundering Blow

    Engage after Thundering Blow (E): it's his only knockback, and it has a 20 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Jayce is strongest early, when his cannon range dominates the lane.
