Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1AniviaLevel 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 2AniviaLevel 2: Anivia continues to out-trade with Q-E chip damage while Vlad's Transfusion sustain can't offset the deficit yet.
Level 3AniviaLevel 3: Anivia's full combo comes online and clearly outpaces Vlad's farming-focused kit at this stage.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 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 6AniviaLevel 6: Glacial Storm out-damages anything Hemoplague sets up, and Vlad still can't punish through Rebirth, restoring Anivia's clear advantage.
First itemAniviaFirst 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+ itemsAnivia2+ 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.

Early game (levels 1–5)

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.
