How to win lane as Aphelios against Vayne · 55.45% win rate over 3,522 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aphelios | Vayne's 550 range and lack of a poke tool let your Calibrum bully her at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Aphelios | At level 2 you still outrange and out-trade every step-up she makes for CS. |
| Level 3 | Aphelios | Level 3 marked follow-up autos punish her with no way to trade back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Aphelios | Through levels 4-5 you keep the range and CS lead she cannot contest. |
| Level 6 | Aphelios | Your level 6 ult is a kill threat on shieldless low-base Vayne, keeping the edge yours. |
| First item | Aphelios | At one item you spike first while Vayne is still stacking and building Botrk. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | By two-plus items Vayne's Silver Bolts true damage and stealth finally scale past you. |
You dominate levels 1-2: Vayne's 550 range and Q-only kit give her no way to trade into your Calibrum poke, so free-poke her and shove her under tower to deny CS.
