How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Vayne is strongest late game while Ambessa peaks mid game. Play around your power window.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Range Advantage
Vayne has range advantage. Ambessa should look for short trades when Vayne uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Ambessa's Weakness
Ambessa's main weakness: Ranged poke, hard CC, falling behind. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Vayne Win Condition
Scale, shred tanks with W true damage, kite with R+Q

Dash resets, snowball lane lead
