How to play it

✓

Hide your taunt

Her E (Condemn) cancels your taunt: don't make it obvious and she'll struggle to reach you in time to interrupt.

✓

Catch her early

Find her in the top bushes before minions (1:05–1:25), start E and fight, and punish her whenever she pokes with Q.

✓

Farm safe if you miss it

If she reaches lane safely, start Q, take whatever CS you can and stay above 80% HP until level 3.

✕

Never make your taunt-in obvious: a good Vayne will E to cancel it.
