Woah, time to chyme in: You max bolts on vayne and 1 point in the others for utility. lvl 1 tumble, lvl 2 condemn, then max bolts and then tumble. You max bolts because the dmg is always up, not cd related and its more dmg than tumble, and 2 procs beats the dmg of a condemn that pins them. You use he stun time to proc more.
The dmg from bolts is obnoxious poke. If you can get 3 auto attacks off as a poke, you win that trade 90% of the time. Then you max tumble next for your ult. The reason vayne is so op late game is because anytime sometimes comes on her in a team fight, she has a 4 sec cd for an invis and dodge making her the hardest kiter in the game besides maybe ahri in the short term, but in a longer fight, vaynes kite is unmatched.
The reason she is considered the strongest hyper carry is the combination of her bolts and tumble, condemn has about 5% to do with it. I'll go into more detail if anyone wants to argue something else over bolts first but unless youre epic pro, bolts are the way to go. I only added that in because on some rare occasions the pros may opt to put another point or 2 in tumble for pure saftey, but this wont matter unless you're at least 1800 elo. For any of us, silver bolts all the way.
