Vayne vs Illaoi

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged spacing and (Q) repositioning to deny Illaoi's tentacle zone control and avoid her (E) angles.
Prioritize lane pressure to prevent Illaoi from establishing tentacles and forcing melee fights.

Trading pattern

Trade by auto-attacking from max range and using (Q) to reposition out of Illaoi's engage range.
Hold (E) to (E) Illaoi into terrain when she commits to melee trades.
Punish Illaoi after she misses (E) or when her tentacles are cleared to force short trades.

Danger windows

Respect (E) landing near tentacles as it enables her strongest trades and potential stuns.
Avoid extended fights inside Illaoi's tentacle zones, especially when her (R) is available.
Be cautious pushing without vision as Illaoi can punish with ganks that synergize with her (R).

Early game

Keep the wave on your side to avoid pushing into Illaoi's zone and reduce gank risk.
Use (Q) to maintain distance and punish Illaoi if she misses (E).
Avoid fighting near walls or tentacle clusters where Illaoi can easily land (E) and follow up with (R).

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth and empowered (Q) to outplay Illaoi's all-ins and reposition safely.
After your two-item spike, pressure side lanes with kiting and true damage to outduel Illaoi.
Respect Illaoi's level 6 (R) zone control and avoid clustered fights near tentacles to reduce her turnaround potential.

Win conditions

Deny Illaoi's tentacle setup by controlling wave and clearing tentacles before engaging.
Use (E) to (E) Illaoi into walls and disengage with (Q) stealth during (R) for safe trades.
Scale into late game where your mobility and true damage outmatch Illaoi's zone control and sustain.

Tip: For Vayne vs Illaoi, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Top lane check.
