Jinx vs Vayne

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Jinx's ability to punish Vayne's short-range CS attempts with rocket splash damage.
Jinx wins extended fights post-item spikes using range and resets, while Vayne pressures with mobility and true damage early.
Maintain wave near your side to limit Vayne's dash angles and reduce her all-in threat.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or poke with (W) when Vayne commits to last-hit and enemy support is not threatening.
Use (Q) rockets to hit clustered minions and Vayne simultaneously, punishing her close-range CS attempts.
Hold (E) traps on common engage paths to deter (E) wall stun attempts and support follow-ups.

Danger windows

Respect (E) cooldown; she can stun if you overextend near walls or narrow spaces.
Avoid trading when enemy support controls brush or can immediately follow (Q) reposition.
Be cautious when Vayne activates (R) and uses (Q) stealth to reposition for all-in bursts.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold the wave near your turret side, denying Vayne safe dash angles.
Punish Vayne's last-hit attempts on low-health caster minions with (Q) splash when enemy support can't punish.
Avoid pushing past river early to prevent giving Vayne clean engage paths with (E) and (Q).

Power spikes

First completed item lets Jinx contest wave control and punish Vayne's short trades more safely with rockets.
Two-item spike grants Jinx sustained DPS and reset pressure, enabling safer extended fights and objective control.
Level 6 (R) allows Jinx to execute low-health targets and deter Vayne's all-ins from range.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by denying Vayne safe CS punish windows and preserving health for item spikes.
Convert health and wave control leads into turret plates and dragon vision with support peel.
Use item spikes and resets to dominate grouped fights, leveraging rocket range and (E) traps to control engage angles.
