[2.3] Vayne Guide - Shauna Vayne [In-Depth Guide 2.3c]

Starting of with a Long Sword is the way to go. It will build into your first T3 item Blade of the Ruined King . Help out your jungler if possible before you head to lane but make sure to reach it by 0.35min since that´s about the time when the first minion dies.

Be aware of any bush ganks when you arrive and start attacking the wave. You will most likely loose the wave push so relax and let it walk under your tower. When farming under your tower keep the following things in mind to effectively farm:

• You will most likely be pushed under your tower so make sure to hit minions last
• You are one of the weakest ADCs right now so don´t get overconfident
• Punish the enemy for overstepping but keep it to a short trade
• Keep an eye on your minimap, being pushed under tower is the perfect chance for your jungler to gank your lane. If that happens stay calm not to alert the enemy and only engage as soon as the jungler revealed themself
• If you manage to get ahead in gold. Don´t risk dying but try to deny the enemy last hits by using your Condemn to push them away or engage with a quick Tumble + Silver Bolts combo
• Don´t get frustrated because of a weaker early game, you will carry later and redeem yourself

A few tips on improving your teamfight:

• Ask yourself if this teamfight is providing any advantage or is it purely for kills? Wild Rift is an objective game ALWAYS keep that in mind
• You are single target damage only so don´t switch targets too much, focuse one then the next after a takedown
• Your Silver Bolts are amazing against tanks so don´t be afraid to target them if you can´t reach the adc in the backline
• "Front to back" is your best chance meaning you will target the closes enemy while staying as far away as possible, then move to the next enemy while still staying on max range
• Movement changes with Tumble can throw of the enemy and make them loose you in a fight

Once you get your first items Blade of the Ruined King , Statikk Shiv , Gluttonous Greaves and maybe even a third item Phantom Dancer it´s time to fight.

• You will win most 1v1s in this stage of the game, especially while under Final Hour
• Help with every teamfight that breaks out, you are the win condition in this stage of the game however try not to be in the frontline
• Don´t get caught alone = don´t run around the enemy jungle with no backup
• Clear out enemy jungle camps with your duo or team to deny the enemy comeback potential as well as buffs and gold

In this phase of the game you have the power to end it

• force dragon fights with your team meaning you start it and the enemy has to either go there or they loose any chance of winning
• take down turrets with your team and force the enemy to defend
• roam around the map and "assert dominance" you should be feared and make the enemy scared to push up too far
• put down some wards in the enemy jungle to avoid being flanked and always keep an eye on them to make sure you have the advantage
• force a baron fight with your team. Either the enemy responds or they loose

Vayne possesses true 1v9 potential in this stage of the game so play aggressively but also don´t overextend for no reason. No matter how strong you are, it´s still a team game.

Vayne offers great value against tanky champions:

• Alistar will have a hard time to tank a Vayne since his Unbreakable Will does not protect against true damage from Silver Bolts plus he needs to stick around close and you can avoid that with Condemn and Tumble
• Braum is an other tank/peel champion and your kit really hurts him. You got no crazy skillshots like Trueshot Barrage that are being blocked by Braum + your Tumble makes it hard for him to land his Concussive Blows
• Leona can catch up to you with her Solar Flare but you can push her right back with your Condemn
• Amumu depends on sticking close to you so the same principle applies to ho him like it does with Alistar . Kite, push away
• Garen suffered heavily in recent patches and serves more of a tank now which you are good against so he will have a hard time with you
• Blitzcrank will have rough day trying to land a single Rocket Grab since your Tumble and a little practice makes it almost impossible to land

Vayne being a hypercarry synergizes well with:

• Alistar since his Headbutt + Pulverize makes it easy for you to get some good damage in. He also offers great frontline potential and lifts some focuse off you
• Nami serves the same purpose with her Aqua Prison + her Ebb And Flow gives you some nice slowing effect with your auto attacks
• Lulu offers everything you need: Extra attack speed, shield, health, movement speed but she is also short range and late game scaling
• Braum can be a great support since your attack speed will be quite high and Braum is also very good early game as well as late game so he can help you with the early game pressure

WHEN NOT TO PICK Vayne :

• there are no tanks on the enemy team
• the enemy team consists of a lot of long range, poke type of, champions like:
  • Ziggs , Ezreal , Corki , Lux , Seraphine
