Annie vs Vladimir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early lane pressure to force (W) defensively, limiting his sustain and trading power.
Focus on setting up your passive stun with (Q) and (W) for quick burst trades.
Deny Vladimir safe farming to delay his item spikes and scaling impact.

Trading pattern

Engage trades with (Q) + (W) combo to proc your passive stun and burst Vladimir.
Punish Vladimir immediately after he uses (W), as he becomes vulnerable during its cooldown.
Avoid extended trades when Vladimir's empowered (Q) is available to reduce his sustain advantage.

Danger windows

(W) grants untargetability and negates your burst, so respect its cooldown before trading.
Avoid fighting when Vladimir's empowered (Q) is ready, as he can out-sustain and punish you.
Be cautious during (R) window, as his burst and teamfight threat spike significantly.

Early game

Thin waves to keep Vladimir from safely farming and force him to use (W) early.
Avoid pushing hard with (W) to conserve mana and prevent vulnerability to all-ins.
Look for level 3 trades when your stun is ready and (W) is on cooldown.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), giving you a strong pick tool and burst potential to threaten all-ins.
First completed AP item boosts burst damage, allowing more confident trades and wave pressure.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 (R) and empowered (Q) windows to avoid lethal counter-engages.

Win conditions

Use (R) to initiate picks and burst Vladimir before he can react with (W).
Force Vladimir to expend (W) early by applying pressure, then punish during its long cooldown.
Maintain pressure to deny Vladimir safe farming and delay his scaling item spikes.

Tip: For Annie vs Vladimir, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
