Nocturne winsVayne wins

One of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.

How to play it

Press early
Nocturne is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
Physical resistance
Vayne deals physical damage — Death's Dance as your 2nd or 3rd item.
Full combo or nothing
Vayne is squishy — wait for every ability, go in once. No half-combo trades.
Ward the jungle
You out-trade Vayne; the only danger is their jungler — ward before pressing.

Save your dash for CC
Don't dash in — keep it to escape Vayne's crowd control.
Respect the spike
Vayne gets far more dangerous with the ultimate — dial back after level 5.

Grouped by why they work — hover or tap an item for its stats

Roam between lanes and pick off isolated squishies — rush Duskblade of Draktharr
Time CC on priority targets (ADC or Mid) to set up your team
Use dashes for poke and escape — never blink without an out
