-Shreds anyone mid/late game due to
Fervor of Battle

This masteries and runes that i personally designed myself specifically for vayne, gives vayne 26 armour , 565 hp , 72 ad , 0.76 attack speed and 41 magic resist at level 1 with 4
Health Potions
The standard vayne runes/masteries gives vayne 28 armour , 577hp ,73 ad ,0.77 attack speed and 43 magic resist at level 1 with only one hp pot ....but 5% life steal which is only a big thing when its mid-late game.(Lets be honest here ,pots beat 5% life steal early on )

First lets analyse
Thunderlord's Decree
is very good when it comes to bursting your opponent down in all phases of the game as it scales with bonus ad and it increases according to your level.So it does 253.5 additional damage on your third attack at level 18 including my bonus ad. Due to natural talent i also have some bonus ap to give it more damage.
Now
Fervor of Battle
is really good because you really need the AD and you need
Fury
tree. And since you won't be having items that have AD till
Infinity Edge, this is much better. As
Thunderlord's Decree
scales with ad and ap,its inferior. You be surprised how much damage you do with
Fervor of Battle
due to your attack speed from
Phantom Dancer early on.
Fervor of Battle
reins supreme in this build.

Now







5%LifeSteal from the
Doran's Blade and
Vampirism
compared to
Perseverance
and
Recovery
, firstly if you use the standard vayne runes/masteries you would have 73 ad. If you use my build , you should have 66 ad with my long sword. 5% Lifesteal of 73 ad is 3.65 hp per shot regen.
Now my build ,
Perseverance
and
Recovery
makes me regen 10 hp per 5 seconds
Practical data, if you were to have 5% life steal and you auto twice per 5 seconds, you would regen 7.3 hp per 5 seconds ,
Perseverance
and
Recovery
would still easily over heal 5% life steal from
Doran's Blade and
Vampirism
.As i regen 10 hp per 5 seconds. And when I'm below 20% hp, i would regen up to 21 hp per 5 seconds. which is insane for survival!.




Now my build ,

If you use the standard vayne runes/masteries and buy
Doran's Blade. You would have 577+hp but you would have 1
Health Potion! 28 Armor and 43 Magic resist for this build
If you use my build , you would have 565+ hp and still have 4
Health Potions to back yourself up in the lane even if you were to lose a trade against your lane opponent you can easily stay in the lane way longer than your opponent while still being able to farm safely due to my masteries and runes. 26 Armor and 41 Magic resist for this build.

Its very important to note that even with my runes/masteries. You still can't go ham at level 1.
At level 2,when you have your
Silver Bolts you can trade with almost anyone due to your attack speed.
This build helps adc with farming as most vaynes including me have problems last hitting under tower/pressure.
The

Health Potions plus my runes/masteries keeps the pressure off as you will have solid sustain/tankiness in lane. And still able to destroy your opponent with your attack speed.

As vayne, it really is key to stay behind your team and close to your support.I really cannot emphasise this enough. As vayne, being caught out means death!
Many including myself have always dreamed of making plays and always forget the importance of positioning and decision making.
When entering team fights, its best if you have both summoner spells up.But thats rarely the case.
Regardless as vayne or any adc out there, you must know when your opponent spells are up, always keep in mind if they have any crucial cc/gap-closers.Predict it and dodge it. If not at least put yourself in a proper position to minimise the damage done to you as much as possible.
And it normally means staying with your SUPPORT!

This is known by many names.
This mechanic is very crucial when playing adcs like vayne!
In order to this perfectly you must fully understand her kit entirely.
I encourage you to watch his videos to kite better with vayne!
TIP: When "kiting", make sure your mouse is not hovering over enemy units as this might mess you up.
Her entire kit:
Vayne's Passive
Night Hunter:
Vayne ruthlessly hunts evil-doers. She gains 30 Movement Speed when moving towards an enemy champion.
-Always keep this in mind when you chase opponents.This passive is amplified by three times when you use final hour.
Vayne's
Tumble/Q:
Vayne tumbles, maneuvering to carefully place her next shot. She rolls toward the cursor and her next attack deals 30/35/40/45/50% bonus damage.
-This is mainly used as an auto-reset in lane.In team fights , only use this to get out of a sticky situation. And do not use this when your opponent is cced late game as during late-game your attack speed would do more dps than using tumble. I max this skill second as i don't need auto resets that much with my early-game attack speed.
Vayne's
Silver Bolts/W
Vayne tips her bolts with a rare metal, toxic to evil things. The third consecutive attack or ability against the same target will deal 6 / 7.5 / 9 / 10.5 / 12% of the target's maximum Health as bonus true damage (Max damage vs. monsters is capped at 200).
Silver Bolts' damage bonus cannot fall below 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120.
-Your main damage , I max this skill first as this is your main dps skill. A good way to proc this really fast early game is AA,Tumble AA and condemn. But it chunks a lot out of your mana so i don't recommend it.With my attack speed you should be able to proc this quite rather easily during the laning phase.
Vayne's
Condemn/E:
Vayne draws a heavy crossbow from her back, and fires a huge bolt at her target, dealing 45/80/115/150/185 (+0.5 per bonus attack damage) physical damage and knocking them back (900 units). If they collide with terrain, they are impaled, dealing 45/80/115/150/185 (+0.5 per bonus attack damage) bonus damage and stunning them for 1.5 seconds.
-Remember to use this when your opponent is near a wall. But this also can be used to trade.When escaping,situations when your opponent is not near a wall do not hesitate to use it as it will save your life! This spell has a really long cooldown so use this very wisely.This ability also applies
Vayne's
Silver Bolts. So a nice combo would be to auto
Tumble and
Condemn for the a fast trade to proc your
Silver Bolts.
Vayne's
Final Hour/R:
Readying herself for an epic confrontation, Vayne gains 30/50/70 increased attack damage, 1 second stealth during Tumble, and triple the bonus movement speed from
Night Hunter lasting 8/10/12 seconds.
-Her ultimate can be used with her tumble to stealth up and reposition yourself. Sometimes its better not to attack instantaneously. Remember! use this with tumble to reposition yourself or to dodge incoming skill shots.Even if you feel like using
Tumble for more burst thats only against another ADC. Because you definitely need the stealth when fighting champions like
.
