Vayne vs Aurora

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Vayne's high early agency and ranged pressure to keep Aurora under farm and deny her safe scaling opportunities.
Control spacing carefully to avoid Aurora's burst and reposition with (Q) stealth during (R) to outplay her engages.
Prioritize scaling and side-lane pressure as this is a ranged top lane duel favoring Vayne's late-game anti-tank DPS and kiting.

Trading pattern

Trade from max range using autos and (Q) to reposition, holding (E) to (E) Aurora into terrain for a stun.
Punish Aurora immediately after she uses (W) to reposition, as she loses her escape tool.
Avoid using (Q) forward when Aurora's engage is ready to prevent being locked down in short space.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is available, as her burst and mobility increase kill threat.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce vulnerability to ganks and Aurora's pick potential.
Respect Aurora's burst windows post-level 6 and after her first AP item; hold defensive tools and spacing to survive.

Early game

Keep the wave on your side to poke Aurora and force her to miss CS due to her low range.
Avoid pushing without vision to prevent ganks and punish Aurora's limited early agency.
Use (E) to punish Aurora's long and dodgeable (E) animation when she attempts to engage or reposition.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth tumbles to outplay Aurora's burst and reposition safely; force her into short spaces or engage after (E).
After your two-item spike, pressure side lanes aggressively with vision and kite space to punish Aurora's lower range and burst reliance.
Respect Aurora's level 6 ultimate and first AP burst item by tracking cooldowns and avoiding extended trades when they are available.

Win conditions

Deny Aurora safe farming by using ranged poke and wave control to pressure her low range and punish her long (E) animation.
Scale into late game where Vayne's true damage and stealth repositioning outduel Aurora's burst and mobility.
Use side-lane pressure and vision control to create safe kite space and isolate Aurora for (E) wall stuns and sustained DPS.
