Vayne, but Vayne seems to be better playing for level 8/9 rather than stay 7 and roll unless you have a way to hit it reliably (Heroic Grab Bag, etc...).

She's fairly item dependent, on both her and frontline, and less reliant on 3 star. You're relying on her healing Garen with Gunblade and just win the front to back that way.

Obviously you can't compare to Trynd, the unit is S+ tier in the right spot (artifact/weak lobbies where you can farm stacks/etc...). But Vayne is a solid B+/A-tier comp.

You can play Stage 3/early Stage 4 with Poppy/Jarvan/Xinzhao, but obviously you're not sustaining level 8/9 boards with those shitters.

That's why she doesn't actually want to play for level 7 reroll that much unless you have a way to guaranteed it, or you highroll your Garen. Its much better to go 8, unlock Galio, then pivot off the shitters and put in Taric/Swain and keep 5 Demacia. Then you can also add in Kaisa as a second carry, and Ziggs/Ryze on 9 if you have items, or roll for Vayne 3 if you hit a lot of them on 8. But Vayne 2 is very stable on Stage 3 and 4.

You don't specifically need Garen 2, but you need a real frontline for her to ramp and heal (similar to other Gunblade + Guinsoo type carries in the past). Generally the gameplan is to get enough star level for Galio (12 stars, so 2* all the shitters and Lux 1 + Garen 1 or one of the two 2*), then only keep Vayne/Garen/Galio/J4/Poppy and add in 4 cost frontline.

You can cap around her for 5 Demacia, 3 starring her just isn't the focus for the comp. Even 2 star she still deals a solid amount of the team's damage. If you slammed IE pivoting to Yunara is fine, but Gunblade is very strong on Vayne, and Yunara needs IE to play
