Lissandra vs Vladimir

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Lissandra controls the lane by punishing Vladimir's low early pressure and forcing him to use Vladimir W defensively.
Apply moderate lane pressure to deny Vladimir a calm scaling phase and avoid letting him freely stack empowered Vladimir Q healing.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively when Vladimir W is down, using W root to lock him and follow up with E and R for lockdown.
Use Q to poke and control the wave, then punish Vladimir's attempts to trade around empowered Vladimir Q by counter-engaging with your crowd control.
Avoid committing E without backup as Vladimir can punish your engage if you cannot recast safely.

Danger windows

Vladimir is dangerous when empowered Vladimir Q is ready and he can safely step forward for trades.
Vladimir R plus grouped targets create lethal burst windows; avoid fighting clustered.
Vladimir W untargetability is a key defensive cooldown; punish him only when it is down.

Early game

Use Q to safely farm and poke while holding W to root Vladimir when he tries to engage or sustain with Vladimir Q.
Avoid extended trades when Vladimir W is available since he can become untargetable and negate your damage.
Coordinate with your jungler to punish Vladimir's long Vladimir W cooldown windows.

Power spikes

Lissandra's level 6 R is the biggest spike to lock Vladimir and set up kills.
First completed AP or utility item increases your threat and lockdown reliability.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 Vladimir R and his first AP item spike for burst potential.

Win conditions

Deny Vladimir a passive lane by applying pressure with Q poke and punishing his Vladimir W cooldown.
Use W and R to lock Vladimir when he tries to all-in or sustain, enabling jungler follow-up.
Control the wave and create flank angles with E to set up decisive lockdowns and teamfight presence.
