Who Wins

  • Pre-6, you win most trades at level 1 and 2 through raw auto-attack damage and Q burst, but Vladimir's W lets him dodge your Q entirely, which significantly reduces your all-in potential if he uses it correctly.
  • Post-6, your R makes you nearly impossible to kite in a straight fight, and Vladimir's lack of hard CC means he cannot reliably stop your engage — you win extended fights if you can stay on him.

How to Trade

  • Your best pattern is to wait for Vladimir to use W on a non-threatening situation or for it to be on cooldown, then immediately all-in with Q into autos — his healing is not strong enough to sustain through your full burst when W is unavailable.
  • Use your Q to dodge his empowered Q damage during trades, timing it reactively rather than aggressively.

Wave Control

  • Avoid pushing the wave mindlessly; Vladimir outscales you in wave clear and will shove you in, forcing you to CS under tower where you are vulnerable to ganks.
  • Play for short trades, reset, and look to freeze or slow-push to create pressure rather than letting Vladimir dictate the wave state.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Do not use your Q aggressively into a Vladimir who still has W available — he will simply pool, negate your damage, and you will have wasted your primary gap-closer with nothing to show for it.
  • Avoid fighting him when he has Crimson Rush active and his R up, as the combination of healing, speed, and empowered Q will out-sustain your burst at that specific window.
