My name is Leandro, I’m 19 years old and I’ve been Challenger since Season 12. Currently the Top 1 Vayne in the world (Click to see some prints)

I’ll try to keep this guide updated, add new information, and create guides for other champions in the future. I hope this guide helps you in some way!

3.00 attack speed with peel.

---

Overall, the goal is to get Experimental Hexplate as quickly as possible to combo with your ultimate. Considering the gold-to-stat value, it’s the best item, plus it reduces your ultimate cooldown. Always focus on fighting when your ultimate is available and enjoy the performance of it to the fullest.

The build with Phantom Dancer is my favorite because it allows you to hit 3.00 attack speed with just three items, if you have some peel support. However, you’ll be very vulnerable until you get your defensive items, so just be careful with that and enjoy the game!

First Core Item – What to Build and Why

---

Blade of the Ruined King is ideal for Vayne due to its synergy with basic attacks and on-hit effects. The bonus damage based on the enemy's current health allows her to melt tanks and high-HP champions. Additionally, the lifesteal and attack speed boost her sustain and consistent damage. The passive slow effect helps her kite, letting Vayne keep her distance from melee threats.

While Blade of the Ruined King is effective against high-health targets, it can be less impactful against enemy comps full of squishy, long-range champions. In such cases, other items might be a better option.

Statikk Shiv is a situational pick for Vayne when your team lacks wave clear. Since Vayne struggles to quickly clear waves, this item helps significantly in that regard, allowing her to hold the lane alone when the support is roaming or playing weakside. The item's passive enables her to clear minions efficiently, improving her lane control and overall game tempo. It’s ideal in compositions without wave clear or when the support spends a lot of time away from the lane.

Kraken Slayer is an excellent choice when you need an early power spike in the game. Against squishy champions or in matchups where you can farm and trade safely, the item offers strong and consistent damage from the start. It allows Vayne to apply pressure earlier and capitalize on small advantages.

Although it's not ideal against extremely tanky compositions, Kraken shines in games where you don’t need percent-health damage and want to have an earlier impact in fights.

Yun Tal Wildarrows functions as a modern lethality alternative for Vayne. It’s excellent for deleting fragile champions and enemy carries with ease, offering a strong damage spike during the early and mid game.

This build is a powerful choice when you want to make an early impact and play aggressively, taking advantage of the high burst damage it provides.

However, it’s not ideal for the late game and struggles against tanky champions or heavy armor builds, where percentage-health damage builds tend to perform better.

Second Core Item – What to Build and Why

---

Guinsoo's Rageblade has become the go-to second item for Vayne due to its strong synergy with her kit. Its passive grants up to 32% bonus attack speed, which helps Vayne trigger her W (Silver Bolts) much faster, increasing her sustained damage in extended fights. Once fully stacked, every third auto attack applies on-hit effects twice, which massively boosts her W damage and allows her to melt even the tankiest targets with ease.

This combination of bonus attack speed and enhanced on-hit effects fits Vayne’s playstyle perfectly, since she thrives on rapid auto attacks and triggering her W (Silver Bolts) as often as possible. That’s why, unless you’re going for a split push setup with Trinity Force or a crit-focused build with Infinity Edge, Guinsoo remains the most consistent and powerful second item to maximize her damage output.

Infinity Edge is only a core item when you're committing to a full crit build — for example, starting with an item like Yun Tal Wildarrows and then picking up Infinity Edge as your second item. It significantly boosts your critical strike damage and offers a high amount of AD, making it perfect for the crit-oriented playstyle that focuses on bursting down squishy targets quickly and efficiently.

Trinity Force is a very flexible item and is commonly built in Vayne top lane builds focused on split pushing and poking with empowered Qs. However, it can also be a viable option in the bot lane, especially against burst or assassin-heavy comps that can quickly delete you. While it offers less consistent DPS compared to other builds, it provides strong burst damage through Q trades and a more mobile, survivable playstyle overall.

Wit's End as an example because it’s one of the best “flex” or “wild card” items for Vayne — it gives you both attack speed and magic resistance, making it a great defensive option. It’s especially strong as a second item when facing a full AP enemy or a heavy magic damage threat. The same logic applies if you're against a full AD comp, where you’d consider defensive items like Randuin's or Shieldbow. But unless you really need that extra survivability, it's almost always better to stick with Guinsoo’s Rageblade as your second item to maximize damage and synergy with Vayne’s kit.
