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

This is Fiora's own plan; across 872 pooled games the lane is leaning Fiora.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraVayne has no Tumble at level 1 and no way to disengage — Q-Lunge her Vital and the true-damage chunk wins the trade outright.
Level 2FioraStill no escape for her at 2 — your Lunge plus an auto out-trades her single-target poke and she can't roll away yet.
Level 3FioraWith Q and E-Bladework online you land a guaranteed-crit Vital before her level-3 Tumble exists, carving a huge piece off her squishy HP bar in one combo.
Levels 4-5Even / skillHer Tumble now resets autos and re-opens the kite gap, so the lane evens — trade only when her roll is on cooldown.
Level 6Even / skillYour R heal-zone clinches a 6 all-in, but her Condemn can still wall-pin you, so the swing depends entirely on landing the Riposte read.
First itemEven / skillFirst items keep it even — your Vital true-damage scaling answers her first crit item, but neither of you cleanly owns the lane yet.
Two+ itemsVayneTwo-item Vayne kites every Lunge and her Silver Bolts %-true melts you through armor — this window is hers, so play safe and let your team collapse.

How to beat Vayne as Fiora: the early game

Vayne pre-Tumble has no dash and no disengage, so levels 1-3 are yours to take. Lunge onto whichever side her Vital is marked, weave the E-Bladework (slow auto into guaranteed crit) to pop it, and the true-damage chunk plus the Vital's heal-and-move-speed burst wins every short trade. Watch her Tumble timer the instant she hits 3 — the roll resets her auto and opens the kite gap she lives in, so commit hardest before she has it. Don't blindly chase a Tumble into her turret; bait the Condemn out first.
