Track: Vayne's E — Condemn (20–12s cooldown). Wall-stuns you — never fight her with terrain at your back.
Read from Jinx's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vayne.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jinx | You outrange Vayne's autos in rocket form and win level 1 trades. |
| Level 2 | Jinx | Zap! and the shove let you deny her CS with no answer at level 2. |
| Level 3 | Jinx | At 3 your poke and wave control keep her permanently off farm. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jinx | Through 4-5 she still lacks the items to trade back into your range. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 her Final Hour all-in matches your ult threat, evening the fight. |
| First item | Even / skill | With one item and Final Hour her Silver Bolts even the duel on skill. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game it comes down to spacing and frontline discipline, not levels. |
You own the first four levels flat out: rocket-form Q outranges her 550 autos, so shove hard and chunk her with Zap! whenever she steps to CS, and she has no range or sustain to answer. Rocket form out-ranges everything she has, so shove every wave and make her farm under tower where her range costs her gold. Zap her whenever she steps up for a last-hit. Keep Chompers behind you for her support's engage rather than using them to zone, because she cannot approach you alone anyway.
