How to win lane as Aurelion Sol against Vladimir · 47.65% win rate (1,702 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
He wins lane, you win the game — every minute you survive with stacks intact is a minute he wasted winning a lane that doesn't matter.
Track: Vladimir's W — Sanguine Pool (28–16s cooldown). Untargetable dodge — bait it before you spend your kill window.
Read from Aurelion Sol's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aurelion Sol | You win the opening trades outright thanks to Vlad's weak level 1 kit and your early Q poke |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Both sides settle into an even farm lane as Vlad stabilizes and neither has a clear kill window |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | The lane stays skill-matched through level 3 with trades decided by positioning, not power spikes |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Your growing Q stacks and range give you the edge again as the lane approaches level 6 |
| Level 6 | Vladimir | Sanguine Pool at 6 dodges your CC and lets Vladimir all-in and sustain through the fight |
| First item | Even / skill | Rod of Ages plus early Grievous Wounds blunts Transfusion and reclaims the lane |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Full Stardust turns Falling Star into The Skies Descend and his HP-ratio sustain cannot answer |
You actually win the very first trades here — Vladimir has essentially no level 1 kill pressure and Transfusion poke is weak before he has ability points invested, so your Q range lets you shove and punish him, though the lane quickly turns into an even farm-fest by levels 2-3 as he stabilizes and starts stacking HP. Track Sanguine Pool is 28s at rank 1, 16s at rank 5, and 2 seconds of untargetable — bait it, then spend Falling Star.
