Who Wins
- You dominate early trades pre-6 with your superior base damages and health pool, but post-6 Vladimir's burst potential becomes threatening if you're not careful with your positioning.
- His R-empowered Q-E combo can chunk you heavily even through your natural tankiness.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is landing Q when Vladimir goes for CS, then following up with W and auto attacks before he can escape.
- Focus on short, decisive trades rather than letting him sustain back up with multiple Q casts.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain wave control through consistent clearing while looking for opportunities to land Q on Vladimir when he's forced to CS.
- Keep the wave in a neutral position to maximize your Q hit chances while staying safe from ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your Q on minions when Vladimir is in range for harassment, as it's your primary tool for trading and wave control.
- Avoid chasing too far for kills post-6 since Vladimir's W and movement speed make him slippery, and you risk overextending.
