Vex vs Orianna

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is a high early agency burst mage who must use her passive fear to pressure Orianna and deny her safe farming.
Apply lane pressure to prevent Orianna from comfortably controlling the wave and setting up her ball for poke and shields.

Trading pattern

Use passive fear to start trades and proc electrocute quickly for burst damage.
Punish Orianna's Orianna Q cooldown and shield downtime to win short trades.
Avoid trading when Orianna's ball is positioned aggressively or Orianna E shield is up.

Danger windows

Orianna's Orianna R displacement creates lethal all-in threat at level 6.
Vex is vulnerable when her R is down and fear is on cooldown.
Avoid extended fights when Orianna's Orianna E shield is active and Orianna's ball is well positioned.

Early game

Use passive fear to force Orianna to play cautiously and punish her longer Orianna Q cooldown early.
Avoid extended trades when Orianna's Orianna R is available to prevent displacement combos.
Pressure Orianna before she gains enough mana and AP to shield and poke effectively.

Power spikes

Vex's major spikes are level 6 R for engage and first completed AP burst item.
Orianna's major spike is level 6 Orianna R for displacement and teamfight control.
Respect Orianna's first completed mage item spike as it increases her poke and shield strength.

Win conditions

Use passive fear to win trades and force Orianna out of lane control early.
All-in with R when Orianna's Orianna R is on cooldown or when Orianna's ball is poorly positioned.
Deny Orianna safe scaling by maintaining lane pressure and punishing her cooldowns before she hits item spikes.

Tip: For Vex vs Orianna, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
