Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and Q poke, as Vladimir lacks sustain early and your E can interrupt his Q healing.
- Post-6 becomes Vladimir favored since his R+E+Q combo can 100-0 you while your R displacement doesn't prevent his pool escape.
How to Trade
- Use Q max range to poke then immediately back off, and only commit to E+W when Vladimir uses Q on minions or mispositions.
- Never extended trade when his Q is up as his sustain will out-value your damage over time.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish priority, then maintain freeze near your tower to deny Vladimir farm and force him into gankable positions.
- Avoid hard shoving post-6 as Vladimir scales better and can clear waves safely with E.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E aggressively when Vladimir has W available, as he can pool your engage and turn the trade with Q sustain.
- Never fight in extended trades without ignite or jungle assistance since his sustain will always win.
