Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vayne.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a skill lane — her true damage is real but she's immobile and squishy. |
| Level 2 | Yone | At level 2 your Q poke and W out-trade her paper early stats before her kite is online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is skill-decided around baiting and punishing her Condemn. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even as spacing and her E cooldown decide each trade. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Level 6 you spike over her — Fate Sealed knocks her up through Condemn and out-bursts her. |
| First item | Yone | At first item Botrk/crit makes you too fast to kite once her E is baited. |
| Two+ items | Yone | By 2+ items your dash-knockup ignores her kiting and one-shots her back line. |
Level 1 is a skill lane — respect Silver Bolts (W) true damage if you let her free-hit you, but she's an immobile marksman who folds to pressure. By level 2 you tip ahead: your Q poke and Spirit Cleave (W) out-trade her paper early stats before she has kiting tools online.
