Who Wins

  • You have range and trading advantages early through Q shield and auto-attack resets, making levels 1-3 favorable if you space properly.
  • Post-6, you win extended fights through R zone control and kiting potential, but Vladimir's sustain and all-in threat with R require careful positioning and cooldown management.

How to Trade

  • Use Q-auto trades when Vladimir goes for CS, immediately backing off to avoid his E retaliation, and save W for when he tries to engage or pool forward.
  • Your optimal pattern is poking with Q while maintaining distance, then using E for waveclear and W for disengage when he commits.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely while poking with Q, then transition to hard pushing with E once you get your first augment to deny Vladimir roam opportunities.
  • Maintain wave control through superior range and waveclear, but be cautious of overextending without vision since Vladimir's gank setup is strong.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W defensively too early in trades since Vladimir can pool the stun and re-engage when it's on cooldown.
  • Avoid face-checking bushes or fighting in tight spaces where Vladimir can easily land R and close distance, as your advantage relies on maintaining proper spacing and kiting room.
