Vladimir vs Qiyana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vladimir has low early agency and lane pressure, so focus on surviving Qiyana's burst and scaling safely.
Avoid giving Qiyana easy terrain access to reduce her all-in threat and punish her cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Trade short with empowered Q for sustain and burst when Qiyana's E is down.
Save W to dodge Qiyana's Qiyana E dash or Qiyana R stun attempts.
Punish Qiyana if she uses E without lethal threat or poor element choice by stepping forward with Q trades.

Danger windows

Qiyana is most dangerous when she has the correct element and terrain access for Qiyana R stun.
Be cautious when W is down, as Vladimir is vulnerable to Qiyana's burst and engage.
Avoid extended fights near walls or brush where Qiyana can chain CC and burst.

Early game

Use Q to sustain through Qiyana's early poke and avoid forced W usage.
Respect Qiyana's E engage and Qiyana R terrain stuns by maintaining safe spacing near mid-lane center.
Avoid fighting near walls or brush where Qiyana can maximize her element and R impact.

Power spikes

Vladimir's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed AP item; use these to threaten burst trades.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 element setup with Qiyana Q-W-E and level 6 R for terrain stuns.
Avoid all-ins before Vladimir's empowered Q and R are ready, as Qiyana's burst is stronger early.

Win conditions

Survive early lane using Q sustain and W defensively, then scale into mid-game with R burst.
Punish Qiyana's cooldowns, especially after she uses E or R, by stepping forward with empowered Q trades.
Force grouped fights where R can amplify damage and Qiyana's terrain advantage is limited.

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