Aurelion Sol vs Vladimir

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and avoid early all-ins to reach Aurelion Sol's strong mid-late game scaling.
Use medium lane pressure to prevent Vladimir from freely farming and scaling without taking risks.
This is a control vs scaling matchup where Aurelion Sol must manage wave control and cooldowns to outscale Vladimir.

Trading pattern

Trade primarily by landing (E) to set up (Q) poke, exploiting Vladimir's lack of long-range poke.

Avoid trading when Vladimir's empowered (Q) is ready or (W) untargetability is available to negate your damage.

Watch for Vladimir's empowered (Q) readiness to avoid getting caught in short trades that heal him.

Early game

After completing Rylai's, increase wave pressure and trade confidence to capitalize on improved chase and poke.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 (R) burst window by avoiding extended trades and preparing to disengage.
