Vayne Summon Aery is an exciting new playstyle that’s worth trying out soon, whether you’re playing her in the top or bot lane
In recent years, Vayne has been pushed away from her traditional role as a pure marksman due to her short attack range. This has led to her often being played in the top lane. However, this playstyle has become so frustrating for many players that Vayne’s ban rate in the top lane has skyrocketed. It’s now approaching the ban levels of notorious champions like Yasuo, as more players grow tired of facing her.
Recently, the community of Vayne mains has developed a new build that takes this frustration to a whole new level. Whether you’re playing her in the top lane or sticking to her classic role as an AD carry, this build is designed to make her even more difficult to deal with.
The key to this build is Vayne opting for the Summon Aery keystone instead of the usual marksman keystones like Press the Attack or Fleet Footwork. Yes, Summon Aery!
The full rune setup looks like this: Summon Aery, Scorch, Sudden Impact. This combination can add around 50 bonus damage to her Q (Tumble) at level 1, which can scale up to 200-300 damage as the game progresses.
Since Vayne’s Q has a low cooldown and mana cost, this setup allows her to constantly harass opponents, making her even more frustrating to face. The bonus damage from Summon Aery and the rune set only adds to her oppressive playstyle, especially when she’s relentlessly chasing down opponents.
As for items, you’ll still want to build standard Vayne items like Kraken Slayer and Blade of the Ruined King, adjusting based on the game situation.
Overall, with traditional keystones for marksmen being nerfed recently and some champions opting for alternatives like Lethal Tempo or even Grasp of the Undying, this Vayne Summon Aery build is an interesting and viable option.
