Rough and Tumble
Press the Attack
Hitting an enemy champion with 3 consecutive basic attacks deals 40 - 160 bonus
adaptive damage (based on level) and amplifies your damage dealt by 8% until you leave combat with champions.Why?
The auto-attack reset from [Q] allows you to quickly proc Press the Attack, especially in extended fights where you can repeatedly deal damage.
Absorb Life
Killing a target restores 1 - 23 Health based on level.
Why?
Overheal is a good option here if you think you're going to struggle a bit in the laning phase and your support is able to provide heals either as a Melee with Targon's or a healing champion. Triumph here is mainly to keep you healthy after a kill and play up the reset nature of your **[R]**.
Legend: Alacrity
Gain 3% attack speed plus an additional 1.5% for every Legend stack (
max 10 stacks ).
Earn progress toward Legend stacks for every champion takedown, epic monster takedown, large monster kill, and minion kill.Why?
Vayne is all about getting as many auto attack off as possible to proc [W]. Alactrity's bonus Attack Speed also empowers you ability to proc more instances of Fleet Footwork for more healing and chase.
Cut Down
Deal 8% more damage to champions who have more than 60% health.
Why?
Cut Down is the most reliable form of damage amp for an AD Carry, largely thanks to the fact that you do not build any health items.
Absolute Focus
While above 70% health, gain an
adaptive bonus of up to 18 Attack Damage or 30 Ability Power (based on level).
Grants 1.8 Attack Damage or 3 Ability Power at level 1.Why?
Absolute Focus' additional Attack Damage is great for back-line carries who can keep their health high with good kiting for additional damage output and carry potential.
Gathering Storm
Every 10 min gain AP or AD,
adaptive .
10 min: + 8 AP or 5 AD
20 min: + 24 AP or 14 AD
30 min: + 48 AP or 29 AD
40 min: + 80 AP or 48 AD
50 min: + 120 AP or 72 AD
60 min: + 168 AP or 101 AD
etc...Why?
Vayne is all about late game scaling and there is no better scaling rune than Gathering Storm. If you can make it 30min+ game you will be an unstoppable force in teamfights.
