Tap each threat level to view Vamana’s threats
Jungle: Not too dissimilar to any other assassin. ganks are ok, farming speed is decent. can make more aggressive plays when ult is up as you essentially cant die earlygame when you ult, unless youre under a tower.
Solo: Lane bully. poke, poke, ult when youre low, poke more. talaria boots gives you mana forever, warriors and ult gives you health for days. Rotate to mid if you have a shot, proxy waves when you have ult as you cant die in it, invade their blue, 1v2 with ult. play aggro, ult means you cant be punished.
Teamfights: Ult, run at the mid/adc. pop thorns. hope you dont get antihealed, thats about it. you can also use the ult to push towers as they cant stop you hitting the tower. while your ult is on cooldown poke and harrass the backline, dash away if needed, your dash makes you very safe.
Antihealing: Brawlers (for trans, or crusher, or blackthorn) if using burst or bruiser jungle build, pestilence (for genjis) if using a tank build, toxic blade (for stonecutting) if using AA build.
Anti AA: Midgard if vs qins, nemean if vs crit (merc, jing). replace a phys defense item. witchblade? not sure really, i personally dont build it ever.
Ancile: If you can dive the mage itll stop them using a mobility ability to get away from you.
Antihealing: Toxic blade, pesti, brawlers, divine, upgraded curse, bacchus, cerberus, etc. makes killing you in your ult much much easier. Auto attack gods with toxic blade are arguably vamanas biggest threat (baka, kali, hunters).
Peel: while you cant be peeled in your ult, you can be cc chained and killed before and after the ult. ***ba is the biggest example of this.
Mobility: impossible to stick to some characters. im looking at you, janus.
Cripples: when your ult is on cooldown if you are crippled you are easy pickings. gods like artio, poseidon are the top examples here.
Pen/shred: Can be focused in your ult if the enemy team has an executioner, titans bane, obs shard, nem ult, etc. you are not invincible lategame as you were in early.
Low mobility squishies: press 4, hold mouse button, dead low mobility squishy. not much they can do about it.
Low pressure solo laners: Free rotations, proxies, and invades. get fed, roll on the mid laner.
Ichaival is really good. also fixed the burst and no boots build cos for some reason they got deleted.

Also I'd include some more alternative items listed (masamune, regrowth etc...) and for solo you only have teleport listed as a relic. Also maybe add
