Vayne vs Jinx

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Vayne punishing Jinx's short-range CS attempts with (Q) autos and (E) terrain stuns.
Vayne wins extended trades and side-lane duels by kiting and stacking true damage, while Jinx relies on safe ranged poke and item spikes.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Jinx during her last-hit animation only if enemy support cannot immediately punish.
Use (Q) to reposition after each auto and hold (E) to (E) Jinx into bot lane walls for a stun.
Avoid using (Q) forward when (E) is ready, as it enables her root and support follow-up.

Danger windows

Respect (E) root combined with support engage, especially when you are near walls.
Avoid stepping forward when Jinx has rocket ammo ready and her support controls brush or river.
Be cautious if (R) is available and she groups with teammates, as her execute range and resets threaten extended fights.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold the wave near your side, denying Jinx safe rocket poke angles.
Punish Jinx's last-hit attempts on low-health caster minions when her support cannot zone you.
Avoid pushing without vision to prevent getting caught by (E) traps or support engages.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets you stealth with (Q), enabling safer all-ins and outplays against Jinx's limited mobility.
First marksman item spike strengthens your poke and dueling, allowing more confident last-hit punishments.
Two-item spike empowers your true damage DPS, turning side-lane pressure into solo kills against Jinx.

Win conditions

Convert punished CS attempts into item leads by crashing waves and taking turret plates.
Use lane priority to secure dragon vision and force Jinx under tower before she reaches item spikes.
Scale into side-lane duels where your true damage and mobility outmatch Jinx's limited escape and DPS without resets.
