Favour timeline — the windows in Twitch's game plan

Read from Twitch's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vayne.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TwitchLevel 1 favours you because your auto range and venom chip beat Vayne's 550-range walk-up.
Level 2TwitchLevel 2 stays yours as a second point deepens your poke while she still only has Tumble to answer.
Level 3TwitchLevel 3 is yours once a full Expunge out-damages her un-ramped Silver Bolts.
Levels 4-5TwitchLevels 4-5 favour you as Deadly Venom stacks let you burst her before she can kite free.
Level 6TwitchLevel 6 is yours because Spray and Pray plus Ambush gives you an all-in she can't match at six.
First itemTwitchFirst item favours you since your Terminus/Runaan's breakpoint lands before her three-item true-damage spike.
Two+ itemsTwitchTwo-plus items stays yours because your spread DPS in fights out-scales her single-target Bolts when you space well.

How to beat Vayne as Twitch: the early game

You out-range and out-poke Vayne at Levels 1-2 because her auto range is a paltry 550 and her only trade tool is a resource-free Tumble that leaves her flat-footed; farm safely, drop passive stacks whenever she walks up, and she has no way to answer your Deadly Venom chip. Her range is short and her tumble leaves her exposed, so poke her at every last-hit and let the venom build. Venom Cask covers the moment she commits. Stay off the lane walls, and cash a stacked Contaminate with your support rather than trying to win the exchange alone.
