I'm an ADC main and I recently have been theory crafting about going Vayne top building like Shyvana, my results were good so I decided to create my first guide.

---

Vayne is typically played as an ADC bot lane, however is occasionally played top lane. This guide is for playing her in the top lane.

---

Buildings Vayne as a tank allows her to do damage, because of her Silver Bolts, as well as being hard to kill.

Laning:
- can be a huge lane bully if against champions with little all in potential and/or range.
- also does very well in a farm lane, her range allows her to farm freely.
- If the enemy laner is weak and does not have a lot of range Doran's Blade is a good start.
-However if the enemy is strong and have a lot of sustain I recommend building a Doran's Shield first.

-When playing top lane you should at least have about two core items not including boots before you teamfight. One of these items of course being Blade of the Ruined King

---

Teamfighting
- During teamfights can relatively easily dive their squishies if she is tanky.
- It is most efficient to ult in and use the Blade of the Ruined King active on their main target damage.
- has very strong chase with her passive Night Hunter and using the Blade of the Ruined King active makes it even stronger.

Pros:

Ranged Top Lane!
% Based TRUE DAMAGE with

Silver Bolts
Damage+Tanky!
Hard to gank if Tumble + Condemn are used wisely
Passive
Able to reach late game faster in a solo lane

Cons:

Extremely weak early game
Doesn't have a support to help
Countered by strong all-in champions such as

Renekton Wukong Jax and several others.
