Vayne Dragon Lane Wild Rift Guide

Overview

Vayne is a scaling threat the enemy team races against all game. Her Silver Bolts deal true damage based on max health, so no amount of armor or health ever makes anyone safe from her. Her Tumble and invisibility ultimate let her survive fights that would kill any other carry. She is a hyper-carry built for the late game. The cost is one of the worst early games in the role. She is short-ranged and fragile, and every lane bully punishes her freely. Until her items arrive, Tumble, the wall-stunning Condemn, and her stealth are survival tools first and damage second. Past that point the game flips. A few items and her ultimate turn her into a tank-melting duelist who out-spaces almost anyone. Vayne games are a race to her item spikes, and both teams know it.

Champions Vayne Is Strong Against

Vayne's best matchups in Wild Rift. Vayne holds an edge against these picks in the Dragon lane role, so look to press the advantage and contest objectives.

• Ezreal: His poke stings early, but he is squishy and has no answer to your true damage once you scale, so you win any extended fight.
• Sivir: Spell Shield blocks one spell, not the true damage your Silver Bolts keep stacking onto her, and her short range cannot kite you once you commit to a long fight.
• Kalista: Her hops dodge attacks, but your Tumble matches her mobility and your true damage out-trades her Rend in any long exchange, so she cannot kite you like she kites other carries.

Vayne Dragon Lane Synergies

The best duo partners for Vayne in the Wild Rift Dragon lane role. The Dragon lane is a 2v2, so queue with one of these picks to make the lane and the mid game much easier.

• Lulu: She solves your weak lane phase: shields and Whimsy let you survive to your item spikes, then Wild Growth turns your late-game duels into unloseable fights.
• Janna: Her disengage buys the scaling time your kit demands, and her shield plus your Tumble spacing makes you nearly impossible to run down before you spike.
• Thresh: Lantern saves cover your aggressive Tumble angles, and his hooks create the isolated 1v1s where Silver Bolts win every time.

Early Game

Your only job is to survive. Farm at the edge of your short range, use Tumble only to dodge, and give up the trades you cannot win, which is most of them. Save Condemn for the diver or the gank and stun them against a wall instead of spending it on poke. Against bullies, give up minions before you give up health. Every level you survive brings your spike closer; the early game is about staying alive, not fighting.

Mid Game

Once items arrive, range stops protecting people. Your Silver Bolts now melt the bruisers who pushed you around, and the stealth from your ultimate makes you slippery enough to actually use that damage. Look for skirmishes where you can shred a frontliner while your support peels, and keep Condemn for the assassin who comes for you. This is where lane bullies start losing their lead.

Late Game

This is your spike. With three items and your ultimate you out-duel and out-space nearly anyone, and your true damage kills tanks as fast as squishies. Stay behind your frontline, kite with Tumble, and use stealth to drop the focus that would kill other carries. Condemn is what you save for divers. The longer the game runs, the more it belongs to you, so do not throw it by fighting before you are ready.

Teamfights

Kite forever and shred everything. Stand behind your peel, attack whatever is closest since your true damage makes even the tank a fine target, and Tumble between shots to keep your spacing. The stealth Tumbles in your ultimate break targeting and reset fights that should have killed you. Hold Condemn for the diver who reaches you and stun them against a wall. Never chase through their team; let the fight come to you, and everything that arrives melts.
