How to win lane as Vayne against Mordekaiser · 49.9% win rate (1,443 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Condemn his E-pull, %-true melts him through the W-shield, and kite the realm — he can't catch you once you space.
Track: Mordekaiser's R — Realm of Death (140–100s cooldown). His 1v1 realm — you can’t kite in it. Respect it.
Read from Vayne's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Mordekaiser.
This is Vayne's own plan; across 1,443 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vayne | Obliterate (Q) reaches 675 while you must walk to 550 to trade. |
| Level 2 | Vayne | Death's Grasp (E) pulls from 700 into Obliterate and Darkness Rise. |
| Level 3 | Mordekaiser | Level 3 is his spike — full kit and Indestructible (W) shield let him burst a pulled target. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vayne | Obliterate falls to 5s at rank 4 and Death's Grasp to 10s — no gaps. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Realm of Death (R) at 6 isolates you in a 1v1 where he stat-checks you. |
| First item | Vayne | Blade of the Ruined King's %HP true damage shreds his shield stats first item. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | Final Hour and true damage let you out-scale and beat him even inside his ult late. |
The first levels are spent kiting Obliterate (Q) at 675 and staying outside the 700-range Death's Grasp (E) pull. His threat is purely walk-up, so hold your distance and let Silver Bolts punish him whenever he steps up to farm.

Nobody on paper — a 49.9% win rate over 1,443 games makes this a coin flip decided by play, not champion select.
Yes — Vayne vs Mordekaiser is a genuine skill matchup: 49.9% win rate, and the favour swings window to window rather than being set at champion select.
No hard counter either way — the Vayne vs Mordekaiser win rate is 49.9%, an even lane decided by execution.
Vayne takes Lethal Tempo on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Bone Plating and Unflinching) vs Mordekaiser.
Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Blade of the Ruined King (%HP duel spike) first, then Phantom Dancer, with Mercury's Treads.
