Who Wins
- You dominate early trades with auto-attack range and W proc damage, forcing Vladimir to use Q on minions instead of you.
- Post-6, you must respect his all-in potential with R, but you can outplay with R stealth and proper condemn usage to interrupt his engage.
How to Trade
- Auto-attack with W procs while maintaining maximum range, using Q to reposition and avoid his E charge-up.
- Focus on short trades with 2-3 autos then backing off, as extended fights favor his sustain and burst potential.
Wave Control
- Freeze the wave near your tower to deny Vladimir farm and force him to overextend for CS, making him vulnerable to ganks.
- Avoid hard pushing unless you can recall safely, as Vladimir's waveclear with E makes it difficult to maintain pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight near walls where Vladimir can easily land condemn stuns, and don't waste your condemn on minions for waveclear.
- Avoid all-ins when Vladimir has empowered Q and full health, as his burst combined with sustain can turn fights even when you're ahead.
