Read from Vayne's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sion.
This is Vayne's own plan; across 2,752 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — his Q wind-up against your range. |
| Level 2 | Vayne | At 2 his E slows and shreds armour from 800. |
| Level 3 | Vayne | Third-stack true damage at 3 melts his tank HP. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vayne | You sidestep Q and E through 4-5 with Tumble. |
| Level 6 | Vayne | At 6 Unstoppable Onslaught cuts your retreat. |
| First item | Vayne | First-item true damage outpaces his shield and growth. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | Late-game your W ignores his HP and he can't stick. |
Sion can only threaten you with a fully-charged Q, which is easy to sidestep; poke his walk-ups with Q-auto and take the CS lead at levels 1-2.

Nobody on paper — a 49.49% win rate over 2,752 games makes this a coin flip decided by play, not champion select.
Yes — Vayne vs Sion is a genuine skill matchup: 49.49% win rate, and the favour swings window to window rather than being set at champion select.
No hard counter either way — the Vayne vs Sion win rate is 49.49%, 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 Sion.
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 Plated Steelcaps.
