Level 3VeigarLevel 3 you out-trade her easily since Silver Bolts and Tumble do little in lane.
Levels 4-5VeigarThrough 4-5 Vayne remains the weaker laner and you keep zoning her off farm.
Level 6VeigarAt 6 your Primordial Burst answers any Vayne engage before Final Hour exists.
First itemVeigarWith your first item you one-combo her before her attack-speed spike arrives.
Two+ itemsVayneInto two-plus items Final Hour and true damage let Vayne shred you and dodge your combo, flipping the fight to her.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 are yours. Vayne has no wave clear and a short Tumble range, so she can't contest your Baleful Strike last-hits, and any time she walks up to CS she risks eating a Q into your Event Horizon setup. Stack AP freely and set the tempo.
