How to win lane as Vayne against Heimerdinger · 50.12% win rate over 866 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even because both champs poke and farm without a real all-in threat. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays a skill matchup as neither of you has the tools to force a decisive trade yet. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is still even before his full turret field and your Silver Bolts online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | At Levels 4-5 Heimerdinger's three-turret wall zones your CS and walk-ups, favouring him. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | At Level 6 his grenade stun plus turret focus is a stronger all-in than your Final Hour can answer. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | At first item he simply replaces cleared turrets, so his zone still out-values your trades. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | By two-plus items Final Hour and true-damage Silver Bolts let Vayne shred him and flank his static zone. |
Levels 1-2 are close: neither of you wants to commit before turrets and Silver Bolts stacks come online, so farm safe and last-hit from max range while respecting his W rocket poke.
