How to win lane as Anivia against Vladimir · 53.29% win rate over 1,503 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Anivia | Level 1: Anivia's early poke already outpaces Vlad's passive-reliant sustain kit, giving Anivia a head start with no all-in risk from Vlad. |
| Level 2 | Anivia | Level 2: Anivia continues to out-trade with Q-E chip damage while Vlad's Transfusion sustain can't offset the deficit yet. |
| Level 3 | Anivia | Level 3: Anivia's full combo comes online and clearly outpaces Vlad's farming-focused kit at this stage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5: Sanguine Pool gives Vlad a genuine tool to dodge a lone Flash Frost and punish overextension, making this window skill-dependent for both sides. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Level 6: Glacial Storm out-damages anything Hemoplague sets up, and Vlad still can't punish through Rebirth, restoring Anivia's clear advantage. |
| First item | Anivia | First item: Rylai's makes Anivia's combo nearly impossible to dodge, and Vlad's sustain simply can't keep pace with the burst now landing every cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | 2+ items: Anivia's wall-lock combo burns through Vlad's health pool faster than his sustain tools can recover it, with Rebirth covering any risky all-in attempt. |
Anivia's poke starts ahead from level 1 already — Vlad has no way to punish an egg with early all-in pressure, and your Q-E chip damage outpaces what Transfusion can heal back. Levels 3-5 continue this trend as your full combo comes online while he's still farming passively with autos and Transfusion. The one contested level is 4-5's tail end, where Sanguine Pool lets him dodge a lone Q and punish an overextension, so don't rely on a single Flash Frost read — keep layering Frostbite in behind it.
