Vayne vs K’Sante Counter Pick

K’Sante is the sturdiest body in this matchup: 625 health at level 1, 2,665 at level 18, and base armor rising from 36 to 124.4. Silver Bolts exists to get past exactly that toughness, because the third straight hit on one enemy deals damage tied to a share of their maximum health rather than their armor. Across 1,467 games on patch 16.13.1, the figure for Vayne sits at 57.5%, and a pool that large makes the computed Easy grade trustworthy rather than based on a few anecdotes.

Attack range is 550 versus 150. K’Sante finishes his combo with Ntofo Strikes, which pulls at two stacks, and Path Maker, a charged dash that knocks back and stuns while cutting the damage he takes. All Out is the real danger: it hurls a target across terrain and then dashes in after them, while Dauntless Instinct marks enemies so his follow-up hits harder. To play around it, spend Condemn on his approach instead of waiting for the stun, and save Final Hour for the invisibility it provides during Tumble.

His damage comes from several sources, so no single defensive stat handles all of it, while his own itemization only needs to answer Vayne‘s physical damage. Both rely on Mana; his 64 base attack damage edges her 60, and movement speed matches at 330. He is rated 9 for difficulty and she 8. His transformation swaps durability for damage, and her 550 base health with 23 armor means one badly timed dash into All Out decides the fight on the spot.
