| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lissandra | Level 1 is clearly yours — Vladimir is a famously weak, mana-starved early laner your Q abuses. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 his Pool lets him negate your combo, making trades skill-based. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even as the all-in becomes a Pool-cooldown timing game. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lissandra | By levels 4-5 you bait the Pool and all-in him before he can heal through it. |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | Your level 6 R hard-locks a Pool-cooldown Vladimir and denies his Hemoplague value. |
| First item | Lissandra | On first item you dive and Tomb him under tower before his health curve kicks in. |
| Two+ items | Lissandra | In 2+ item fights your engage and peel shut down his dive despite his scaling. |
Level 1 is clearly yours — Vladimir is one of the weakest early laners in the game, low base damage and mana-starved, while your Q pokes him for free. Levels 2-3 skill out around his Pool: if you dump your combo he can Sanguine Pool the stun and negate it, so the trade becomes about timing his cooldown, not raw stats.
