Ever-since Riot games released Vayne, she has dominated the bot lane. In the hands of a good Vayne player, she is an unstoppable late game monster that can solo the entire enemy team. She easily deals with tanks with her silver bolts and chase enemies with night hunter. Learn how to play her in the best league of legends vayne build guide.
Best Vayne Build
Vayne’s build focuses on empowering her auto attack. Silver bolts is a passive ability that makes Vayne a strong 1v1 champion. Therefore, working around that on runes and item build will most likely make her unstoppable. In this build, we are going to start with the best runes for Vayne which has a win rate of 54.4% in patch 12.15.
Best Vayne Runes
Vayne is a precision rune set abuser through and through. Her kit revolves around the bonuses that precision gives. Lethal Tempo keystone rune gives her more and more attack speed the longer she fights making her deal more attack damage per second. Once Lethal tempo is fully stacked, it also gives her bonus range perfect for kiting and chasing.
Best Rune Path | Precision | Sorcery |
Best Keystone | Lethal Tempo | |
Best Slot 1 (Rune) | Presence of Mind | Absolute Focus |
Best Slot 2 (Rune) | Bloodline | Gathering Storm |
Best Slot 3 (Rune) | Coup de Grace |
Presence of mind and Bloodline however is Vayne’s lifeline during the early game. You can abuse Vayne’s Q tumble with presence of mind and Bloodline also gives her a boost in sustainability.
Best Vayne Rune Shards
Vayne ADC relies on her right clicks so a point on attack speed from offense and +9 adaptive force or attack damage from flex is pretty customary. This goes very well with Vayne’s rune build as she is lacking Legend: Alacrity from her runes.
Best Rune Shards | Effect |
Offense | +10 Attack Speed |
Flex | +9 Adaptive Force |
Defense | +6 Armor |
With more attack speed, Vayne can also proc her silver bolts more often making it easier for her to kill her enemies. This is also the reason why Vayne needs more attack speed than damage, simply because using silver bolts is much stronger than letting Vayne deal more auto attack damage.
Best Vayne Spells
Summoner spells for right click reliant ad carry champions are pretty much the same with the heal and Flash combo. Both of these summoner spells give Vayne more mobility and movement speed when kiting or disengaging.

Best Vayne Abilities Order
Vayne’s Skill order starts with a Silver bolts as her priority to maximize. This ability empowers her basic attacks against squishy enemies or even tanky ones. Next up is Vayne’s Q tumble because this is an ability that she can use to poke or even chase enemies.
This skill order also synergizes with Vayne’s night hunter passive which can also be improved by her Final Hour ultimate. Both of these abilities allow Vayne to move faster toward enemies while she deals true damage to them.
Best Vayne Items
In this League of Legends Vayne build, you will be focusing on having enough survivability and proccing the effects of Vayne’s W more often. Vayne is well known for having a very strong power spike with building just one item. Find it out with the best Vayne build of Patch 12.15.
Best Starter Vayne Items
Vayne ADC early game item build consists of a Doran’s blade and a health potion. Both of these item provide great sustainability for Vayne until she reaches her power spike with her core build.
First Item | Second Item |
Doran’s Blade | Health Potion |
Best Mid Game Vayne Items
Every Vayne abuser only rushes one item on her and that is Guinsoo’s Rageblade, this item allows her to activate her W faster. Immortal Shieldbow and Berserker’s Greaves give Vayne even more attack speed.
First Item | Second Item | Third Item |
Immortal Shieldbow | Berserker’s Greaves | Guinsoo’s Rageblade |
Kraken slayer is a great alternative among other mythic items for Vayne because this item allows her to deal bonus true damage on the third strike. This item allows her to scale better but it makes her extremely squishy.
Best Final Late Game Vayne Items
Now that her core items are complete during the mid game, her second core items are the ones that you use to counter your enemies. Blade of the Ruined king is a core item that works really well no matter what type of enemy Vayne is facing. Blade of the Ruined King also gives her physical vamp.
First Item | Second Item | Third Item | Fourth Item | Fifth Item | Sixth Item |
Immortal Shieldbow | Berserker’s Greaves | Guinsoo’s Rageblade | Wit’s End | Blade of the Ruined King | Phantom Dancer |
Wit’s end and Phantom Dancer both improve Vayne’s on-hit potential but both can be replaced by Vayne’s other core items Guardian angel and Randuin’s Omen. This two alternative items are great for when Vayne is facing enemies with higher burst potential than her.
Best Champions to pair Vayne with
Vayne needs excessive babysitting during the early to mid game so she can carry hard for the late game. So champions that can peel for her are the best ones to partner her with. Fiddlesticks’ Q disables enemy gankers for a long time making it useless for them to gank Vayne’s lane.
Champion | Win Rate % | Icon |
Fiddlesticks | 54.7% | |
Janna | 53.4% | |
Zilean | 52.6% |
Strongest Champions against Vayne
Riot Games’ counter matchup mechanic is really great because no matter how overpowered a champion is, there will always be a champion stronger than that. In Vayne’s case, Zeri, Kalista, and Xayah all have above 50% win rate against Vayne simply because their kit counter’s her basic attack reliant nature. These champions are also great for team fights that stomp Vayne during one.
Champion | Win Rate % | Icon |
Zeri | 54.2% |

Kalista | 52.4% |

Xayah | 52.0% |

Weakest Champions against Vayne
The champions that you should avoid when playing against Vayne are the ones that can be easily chased with her passive night hunter and movement impaired by blade of the ruined king. For this reason, Draven is a really weak champion against Vayne. Sure he can outdamage Vayne but once Vayne completes her item power spike, Draven won’t be able to do much.
Champion | Win Rate % | Icon |
Draven | 47.3% |

Lucian | 47.6% |

Caitlyn | 47.9% |
