Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early lane pressure and short burst trades to punish Vladimir's weak early wave control.
Deny Vladimir free farm by forcing trades before he can safely use (W) or empowered (Q).
Prioritize quick trades with support setup to avoid Vladimir's sustain and scaling threat.

Trading pattern

Engage trades only after support setup or when (W) is on cooldown.
Use (Q) through minions to punish Vladimir standing behind low-health CS.
Dash in with (E) for burst, then exit before Vladimir can respond with sustained damage.

Danger windows

Respect (W) untargetability; avoid committing when it's available.
Beware of empowered (Q) trades that increase Vladimir's burst and sustain.
Track (R) availability to avoid all-ins or grouped fight bursts.

Early game

Contest level 2 aggressively with support to exploit Lucian's early dash and burst.
Avoid extended fights early to prevent Vladimir from using (Q) sustain effectively.
Crash waves before Vladimir can safely use (W) to dodge damage or heal.

Power spikes

Level 2 grants strong burst and dash, enabling lane control and early trades.
First completed marksman item boosts burst trades to threaten kills and force recalls.
Level 6 (R) allows finishing low-health targets pushed out of position.

Win conditions

Use early lane pressure and support synergy to deny Vladimir farm and force resets.
Punish Vladimir's long (W) cooldown by forcing trades and wave control.
Convert lane advantage into mid-game tempo with roams or objective control before Vladimir scales.
