How to win lane as Orianna against Vex · 48.91% win rate over 914 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | You outrange her and Gloom is useless against you, so level 1 is yours. |
| Level 2 | Orianna | Your two-ability trades beat her lone Q before the fear is online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Her Q poke and E fear-detonate arrive to match your combo - even. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 the farm and poke war stays balanced, so it's skill. |
| Level 6 | Vex | Shadow Surge is a resetting flank-execute at 6 - her spike, her favour. |
| First item | Even / skill | Both online damage items together, keeping the window even. |
| Two+ items | Orianna | Grouped, your Shockwave outvalues her single-target R pick - yours. |
Levels 1-2 are yours - you outrange her and her Gloom passive does nothing against your immobile kit, so land ball harass as she farms. Your two-ability trades beat her single Q before she has the fear online.
