Vayne Champion Abilities

Night Hunter

Vayne ruthlessly hunts evil-doers. She gains 30 movement speed when moving towards an enemy champion. P

Tumble

Vayne tumbles, maneuvering to carefully place her next shot. She rolls toward the cursor and her next attack deals 75 / 85 / 95 / 105 / 115% (+50% of ability power) bonus physical damage. This bonus damage is not increased if the attack critically strikes. Q

Silver Bolts

Vayne tips her bolts with a rare metal, toxic to evil things. The third consecutive attack or ability against the same target will deal 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10% of the target's maximum health as bonus true damage (Max damage vs. monsters is capped at 200).

Silver Bolts' damage bonus cannot fall below 50 / 65 / 80 / 95 / 110. W

Condemn

Vayne draws a heavy crossbow from her back, and fires a huge bolt at her target, dealing 50 / 85 / 120 / 155 / 190 (+0.5 per bonus attack damage) physical damage and knocking them back (900 units). If they collide with terrain, they are impaled, dealing 150% of Condemn's initial damage again and stunning them for 1.5 seconds. E

Final Hour

Vayne gains 35 / 50 / 65 attack damage for 8 / 10 / 12 seconds, extended by 4 seconds whenever a champion damaged by Vayne dies within 3 seconds. Additionally, during the duration, Night Hunter instead grants 90 movement speed. The cooldown of Tumble is reduced by 30 / 40 / 50%, and grants invisibility for 1 second. R

Vayne Summoner Spells

Flash

Flash is a location-targeted summoner spell that causes your champion to blink to the location in range of your cursor.

Ghost

Ghost is a self-targeted summoner spell that increases your champion's movement speed and grants them the ability to ignore unit collision for a few seconds.

Vayne Tips and Tricks

Use your range advantage to harass melee champions. Stay at maximum distance to make it difficult for them to close the gap. Always aim to auto-attack the enemy three times to activate your Passive with your W, as this will make trades more favorable. In team fights, focus on your positioning and be ready to use your Q defensively to escape danger rather than diving into the enemy team.
