Vayne is a Marksman that deals physical (AD) damage and brings airborne, stun. Some of their lockdown (airborne) ignores tenacity, so you dodge it; you can't cleanse or Merc' through it. Below is Vayne's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.
ABILITIES

ECondemn
Vayne draws a heavy crossbow from her back, and fires a huge bolt at her target, knocking them back and dealing damage. If they collide with terrain, they are impaled, dealing bonus damage and stunning them.

COMBAT PROFILE
PLAYING ASVayne
- Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.
- Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.
- Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.
PLAYING AGAINSTVayne
- Vayne is fragile - turn the pressure up on her and she will be forced to play cautiously.
- Deny Vayne the opportunity to pin you against walls.
