How to win lane as Fizz against Vladimir · 49.3% win rate (6,444 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
You are the reason his class dodges queues — fish through the wave, hop the one answer, and erase him at 6.
Track: Vladimir's W — Sanguine Pool (28–16s cooldown). Untargetable dodge — bait it before you spend your kill window.
Read from Fizz's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a skill row: Transfusion costs no mana and heals him, so free trades are not free here |
| 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 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as Sanguine Pool drops toward 19s and Transfusion repays the health it costs |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 Hemoplague is a setup tool, not an escape, so your ult keeps you ahead in this phase |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is a skill row — your burst is live, but Crimson Pact health is already blunting the string |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | At two-plus items Crimson Pact health outlasts your string and Hemoplague swings the fights |
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.

Fizz takes Electrocute on the Domination tree with Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos and Ultimate Hunter, and Precision secondary (Presence of Mind and Coup de Grace) vs Vladimir.
Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion and back for Oblivion Orb (≈800g) — cuts his sustain. Build Stormsurge / Rocketbelt first, then Zhonya's / Rabadon's path, with Mercury's Treads / Sorcerer's.
