How to win lane as Kled against Vayne · 50.23% win rate over 438 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vayne | Vayne's Silver Bolts (W) deal percent-max-HP true damage that ignores Skaarl's bonus health, and you have no Level 1 tool to close the gap. |
| Level 2 | Kled | Your W comes online — the shotgun shots let you punish any step-up before she has tumble spacing to kite. |
| Level 3 | Kled | Full E-W-E re-E combo plus a Q yank bursts her squishy frame; mark her on the dash and the return strike can kill. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | You out-trade a pre-two-item Vayne with W procs and remount sustain — force trades while her DPS items are missing. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your R can pin her into a wall or tower for a Q-yank kill, but her Q tumble invis can break your engage — it's a coinflip skill window. |
| First item | Even / skill | Eclipse/Trinity sheen plus Q percent-HP burst makes one clean R engage lethal, though she can Condemn the all-in away — even. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | Three Silver Bolts true-damage your whole bar and Q tumble plus Condemn (E) kite you forever — she hard-outscales, play for teamfights. |
Level 1 is hers — Vayne's Silver Bolts (W) stack percent-max-HP true damage on every third auto, and that ignores all the bulk Skaarl gives you, so don't trade or chase a Q you can't follow up. Just preserve mount health and farm. Then it flips hard at 2: with W's shotgun shots online you can punish any step-up, and at 3 your full E-in, W, E-back re-E combo plus a Q yank can blow her up if she's mispositioned. Bait her Condemn (E) before you dash so she can't wall you away mid-combo.
