| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even skill test between your base damage and her kite. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays neutral as neither spikes hard yet. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 it remains a skill trade decided by wall positioning. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vayne | Levels 4-5 tip to Vayne as Silver Bolts true damage adds up. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your Undying Rage keeps it roughly even through her burst. |
| First item | Vayne | Her first item spike lets true damage shred you past your heals. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | With 2+ items her true-damage kite outduels your crit outright. |
The opening levels are a skill matchup — you out-base her and can commit if she mispositions, but her Tumble reshuffles your autos and Silver Bolts true damage bleeds you fast. Look to trade only when you can corner her against terrain.
