How to win lane as Yorick against Vayne · 54.19% win rate over 2,054 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vayne | Vayne's Tumble (Q) resets and true-damage Silver Bolts (W) win level 1. |
| Level 2 | Vayne | At 2 her range and kiting keep her freely poking you down. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens as your Mourning Mist (E) mark and cage let you pin her. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even with W cage timing offsetting her Tumble spacing. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 skill holds only if you dodge Final Hour (R) invisibility kiting. |
| First item | Vayne | First item swings back to Vayne as BotRK and true damage melt you. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | Late, Vayne out-scales into a hypercarry that shreds your bruiser HP. |
Vayne owns levels 1-2: her Tumble (Q) auto-resets and Silver Bolts (W) true damage punish any all-in, and her range means she pokes you freely as you last-hit. Farm with Q Last Rites, soak her poke on ghouls from Shepherd of Souls, and don't chase her past the Tumble reset.
