Guide to Synergizing Nautilus and Vayne

Tips for Playing as Nautilus with Vayne

While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.

Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

Advice to Understand How Vayne Will Play

Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.

Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.

Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.

How to Play with Vayne as Nautilus in LoL

The Nautilus Vayne synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Vayne, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Nautilus sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vayne. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Vayne helps Nautilus perform not as well in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Nautilus tries to synergize with Vayne, he sees a little drop in his complete damage dealt. This may demonstrate that Vayne does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Nautilus is played with Vayne on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Vayne.

Additionally, when Nautilus plays with Vayne on the same team, he typically receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Vayne does a decent job of covering Nautilus during team fights.

Is Nautilus better when played alongside Vayne?

There is no one best companion for Nautilus that will no matter what be his ideal teammate. Yet, Vayne is a very typical teammate for Nautilus. By being on the same side as Nautilus, she lowers their win rate by -0.9% to 47.9%. This signals that there is not really a strong bond between Nautilus and Vayne that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Vayne has a greater difficulty than Nautilus. That means you need to be cautious when enlisting Vayne comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to work well with you.

Playing on the same side, Nautilus players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by bringing Nautilus and Vayne together, you probably will not be giving your side a great deal of magic damage. Plan to include other champs on your team that offsets this hole in their abilities.

Regardless of your Vayne ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
