StageFavouredWhy
Level 1CamilleVayne kites you at Level 1 with autos and Q tumble while you have a single ability and no all-in — eat minimal poke and last-hit.
Level 2CamilleYour Precision Protocol re-cast comes online at 2 — E in and Q-Q her down before condemn and a stacked Silver Bolt are real, your first kill window.
Level 3CamilleQ true damage plus a point in Tactical Sweep wins the short trade her ranged poke relies on — she can't out-DPS your burst pre-items.
Levels 4-5Even / skillYou out-trade a pre-item Vayne and Adaptive Defenses plus the W self-heal sustain through her autos — all-in inside Condemn's 20s.
Level 6CamilleThe Hextech Ultimatum locks her in an arena Tumble and Condemn cannot answer — just open it while her 100s Final Hour is spent.
First itemEven / skillYour first-item bruiser spike roughly trades with her first item — a coin-flip window, so snowball now because it tips to her next item.
Two+ itemsVayneShe out-scales hard: Silver Bolts' percent-HP true damage and condemn kiting shred you at full build — play for picks and let your team isolate her.

How to beat Vayne as Camille: the early game

Level 1 is hers — you have one ability and no all-in while she kites you with autos and Tumble, and the third Silver Bolts hit adds true damage if you walk up. Hold your ground, last-hit, and wait. At Level 2 your Precision Protocol re-cast (the second hit adds true damage and a brief move-speed pop) comes online and the lane flips: E in, Q twice, and burn her health bar before Condemn and stacked Silver Bolts are real threats. Adaptive Defenses appears once your own attack lands, so open the trade rather than waiting on it, and bait Condemn — 20s at rank 1, longer than your Hookshot.
