Vayne vs Kayle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use high early agency and ranged pressure to deny Kayle safe scaling and force her into defensive play.
Maintain spacing and avoid pushing without vision to prevent ganks and hard engages.
This is a scale-vs-scale lane where Vayne must pressure early and leverage mobility to punish Kayle's weak early game.

Trading pattern

Trade from max range using autos and (Q) to reposition and avoid Kayle's slow and heal.
Hold (E) to punish Kayle's engage attempts or pin her into walls for stuns.
Avoid using (Q) forward into engage windows and only trade when (E) is available for counterplay.

Danger windows

Kayle is dangerous after level 6 when she gains ranged attacks and (R) invulnerability; respect her burst windows.
Be cautious when (E) is down as Kayle can engage more reliably without fear of being stunned.
Avoid pushing far without vision to prevent ganks and hard engages that punish Vayne's fragility.

Early game

Abuse Kayle's low early agency by zoning and poking with autos and (Q) repositioning.
Hold (E) for a terrain stun to punish her melee form before level 6.
Avoid pushing the wave without vision to reduce gank risk and maintain lane control.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to stealth reposition and outplay Kayle's all-ins; force her to engage into your (E).
After two core items, pressure side lanes aggressively as your true damage counters Kayle's scaling.
Respect Kayle's level 6 ranged attacks and (R) invulnerability; avoid committing when (R) is up.

Win conditions

Deny Kayle safe scaling by pressuring early and punishing her melee form with (E) stuns.
Use (R) stealth and (Q) mobility to kite and win extended duels post-level 6.
Reach two-item power spike to dominate side-lane duels and shred Kayle with true damage in late game.
