Vex does well into Ahri due to her anti-dash passive.

Yasuo's dashes trigger your passive fear frequently, giving you strong trade windows.

Your passive punishes Katarina's Shunpo.

Win Conditions
Early Game
Level 3 is Vex's first power spike, unlocking her full basic combo with Q-E-W and fear passive. She can start trading aggressively. Her W shield and passive fear make short trades favorable. Focus on wave clearing and mana conservation while poking with Q.
Mid Game
Level 6 is a massive power spike - Shadow Surge enables long-range picks and roaming to side lanes. Combined with Luden's Echo first item, Vex can 100-0 squishy targets. Shadowflame second item amplifies her burst damage against shields and low-health enemies.
Late Game
With Zhonya's Hourglass and Rabadon's Deathcap completed, Vex becomes a team fight menace. Her R reset mechanic allows her to chain kills in team fights. Position to fear multiple enemies with passive, then dive enemy carries with Ultimate when fights break out. Her pick potential remains exceptional for catching isolated targets.
