Trait synergies for Vayne in TFT Set Eight

The TFT Set Eight champion has three traits: Anima Squad, Recon, and Duelist. Anima Squad has the effect of buffing all Anima Squad champions whenever they kill another champion. Anima Squad champions gain Attack Damage and Ability Power, plus six additional maximum Health on each kill.

Activating the Recon trait grants the innate effect that grants more attack range to Recon units. Also, before casting, if there is an enemy nearby, Recon units will dash away. They also gain bonus Critical Strike Chance.

Finally, Duelists’ basic attacks grant them bonus attack speed, up to 10 stacks.

Each of Vayne’s synergies contributes to forming a powerful backline unit with the capabilities to be the carry of the composition with the right items. In most comps, it will be important to activate the Recon and Duelists traits to get the best out of Vayne in TFT Set Eight.

Best items for Vayne in TFT Set Eight

Vayne’s ability is Silver Bolt, which fires a heavy bolt at her target, dealing true damage whenever she reaches 40 mana. Due to the low mana cost and synergies related to increased attack speed, some of the Vayne’s best AD items are Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Giant Slayer, and Runaan’s Hurricane, contributing to increasing his damage potential and attack speed.

Comps for Vayne in TFT Set Eight

The ability to deal true damage can be really devastating for most enemies. Building up attack speed on Vayne is a great way to get to the top four in a lobby.

Early game can be with Underground units to balance the economy and allow a slow roll at level seven to hit Vayne three stars. Ezreal has the Underground and Recon traits, Kayle has the Underground and Duelist traits, both of which make great companions for Vayne, who can activate two of her traits. The last Underground will be Vi to frontline with another Brawler.

Mid-game can add Riven and Jinx to activate the Anima Squad along with Vayne and her items. Her final comp can include other Aegis and Defender units to form the frontline that will protect Vayne until she gains enough attack speed.
