- The stacks can be consumed even if the target is in stasis.

- Cleansing the knock back will also end the displacement early.
- The spell indicator for this ability also displays the direction for the knock back relative to Vayne's position.
- Condemn's stun duration starts when Vayne's target collides with a wall (they can be immobilized for up to 2 seconds depending on displacement duration based on distance traveled).
- Condemn's missile will fail to fire if Vayne is suppressed during the cast time.(note)
- Condemn can interact with player-generated terrain.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
- Vayne's animations and basic attack projectiles change slightly during Final Hour.
- Tumble's visual effects can be seen by enemies upon Vayne becoming invisible.
- Using a basic attack breaks the stealth at the start of the attack windup.

Shauna Vayne is a deadly, remorseless Demacian monster hunter, who has dedicated her life to finding and destroying the demon that murdered her family. Armed with a wrist-mounted crossbow and a heart full of vengeance, she is only truly happy when slaying practitioners or creations of the dark arts, striking from the shadows with a flurry of silver bolts.
