Sivir vs Vayne

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Sivir using (E) to block (E) and punish her short-range CS attempts.
Sivir wins by controlling waveclear to deny Vayne safe last hits and forcing her into risky short trades.
Vayne scales harder in extended fights, so Sivir must leverage wave states to avoid long skirmishes and reach item spikes.

Trading pattern

Punish Vayne's last-hit attempts by stepping forward with (Q) when her (E) is on cooldown and enemy support can't punish.
Use (W) to hit Vayne through minions when she stands too close during CS, but back off if enemy support controls brush.
Avoid short-range auto trades unless (E) is ready to block her (E) or wave advantage allows safe engagement.

Danger windows

(E) combined with enemy support engage is lethal if (E) is down; respect this window by playing back.
When Vayne activates (R) and uses (Q) stealth (Q), she gains repositioning and burst threat; avoid extended trades then.
Losing brush control or stepping into enemy support zone lets Vayne punish Sivir's short-range trades with follow-up damage.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and position for (W) to tag Vayne behind minions.
Hold (E) to block (E), especially when support threat is low, to avoid all-in engages.
Avoid pushing without vision to prevent giving Vayne space to use (Q) aggressively or set up (E) stuns.

Power spikes

(E) availability is key; it denies (E), forcing her to bait it before trading.
Level 6 (R) enables team movement and coordinated all-ins or disengages, increasing Sivir's lane and teamfight impact.
First completed marksman item strengthens waveclear and poke, allowing Sivir to deny Vayne plates and force recalls.

Win conditions

Convert waveclear advantage into crashing waves to deny Vayne CS and plates under turret.
Use (E) to block key engage spells, survive lane pressure, and reach first item spikes safely.
Leverage (R) with team for dragon setups and teamfights where (W) DPS and movement speed control fights.
