How to win lane as Fizz against Vladimir · 50.23% win rate over 3,094 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fizz | Fizz can trade freely at level 1 since Vladimir has no engage and a limited early poke tool |
| Level 2 | Fizz | Level 2 remains in your favour as his Transfusion poke doesn't outpace your combo potential |
| Level 3 | Fizz | Level 3 E lets you punish his Sanguine Pool cooldown directly, extending your lane dominance |
| Levels 4-5 | Fizz | Levels 4-5 continue to favour you since Vladimir still lacks a true escape besides a costly pool |
| Level 6 | Fizz | Level 6 Hemoplague is a setup tool, not an escape, so your ult keeps you ahead in this phase |
| First item | Fizz | The 2-item mark still favours you as Vladimir needs several HP items before Crimson Pact makes him tanky |
| Two+ items | Fizz | Your first-item burst spike outpaces his early scaling, keeping this phase in Fizz's favour |
Vladimir's only defensive tool is Sanguine Pool, which briefly makes him untargetable but comes with real cooldown and no true relocation, so once you're mobile you can bait the pool and then punish him hard the second it's down. He'll poke you with Transfusion and try to stay safe, but he lacks any early kill pressure of his own, and you can win extended trades by forcing him to either take damage or waste his pool defensively. Play aggressively and deny his farm whenever the wave allows.
