| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vayne | Silver Bolts true damage shreds K'Sante's early HP with no tenacity to escape Condemn. |
| Level 2 | Vayne | His slow Ntofo Strikes (Q) poke is easily kited while you stack bolts. |
| Level 3 | Vayne | Level 3 bolts online means you win every extended trade against base-form K'Sante. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vayne | No gap-closer lets him punish your Tumble kiting through this window. |
| Level 6 | Vayne | You want him to waste All Out (R) since his stripped form dies to true damage. |
| First item | Vayne | Blade of the Ruined King plus bolts ignores every resistance he builds. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | Percent-HP true damage hard-counters his stat-check tank scaling into the late game. |
You out-trade K'Sante at every point of the game. His base-form abilities have no true-damage answer to Silver Bolts, and his early Ntofo Strikes (Q) is a slow, telegraphed poke you sidestep with Tumble while stacking bolts.
