The Vayne versus Darius matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Vayne deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Darius deals mainly physical damage (77.66%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Vayne is higher farming statistics (ranked 17th among role champions) (versus 49th for Darius), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (1.8 versus 1.6) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Vayne player to maintain constant pressure on Darius, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
