Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1VayneVayne's Silver Bolts deal percent-max-HP true damage with every third auto — before Mega Adhesive you have no way to close on a ranged champion safely.
Level 2VayneShe Tumbles backward out of Fling range and continues stacking Bolts; without a root you cannot convert any trade into meaningful damage.
Level 3SingedMega Adhesive roots her out of Tumble's repositioning, letting you Fling her into full Poison Trail contact — one combo lands and the trade flips.
Levels 4-5SingedProxying under her tower forces her to walk through Poison Trail to maintain CS, reversing the ranged advantage that defined levels 1-2.
Level 6SingedInsanity Potion's movement speed lets you match her Tumble kite and the MR buys you enough health to absorb one Bolts cycle before Flinging — your clearest kill window.
First itemSingedRylai's Crystal Scepter makes every Poison Trail tick a slow that prevents Tumble from creating distance; she cannot kite cleanly and every second in the cloud costs her HP.
Two+ itemsVayneGuinsoo's Rageblade accelerates Silver Bolts stacking off every hit — each second you spend chasing her through poison is also a second she is stacking percent-HP true damage, and she outpaces your side-lane threat with enough items.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 are genuinely dangerous — Vayne's Silver Bolts strip a flat percentage of your max HP as true damage with every third auto, and your Poison Trail alone cannot threaten a ranged champion who simply walks backward. Do not walk into auto-attack range for any reason before you have Mega Adhesive at level 3; Fling without a root just sends her to a safer position. Farm what you safely can at the tip of your Poison Trail cloud and accept the early deficit — her early lead is real but narrow, and your kit only needs one successful root-fling to swing the trade math.
