Early game (levels 1–5)

You dominate the entire early game: Vayne is one of the squishiest laners in the game and has no wave control, so your Nimbus Strike engage plus Crushing Blow simply deletes her whenever her Tumble is down. Levels 1-3 are free kill windows if you punish her step-ups; don't let her farm safely.
