| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | You crush Vladimir's weak level 1 with snare-poke pressure. |
| Level 2 | Lux | Level 2 stays yours as he pays health to trade back. |
| Level 3 | Lux | At 3 your Q-E-auto combo out-damages his early sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | Levels 4-5 remain yours before Transfusion healing scales up. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 evens: Sanguine Pool and Hemoplague let him survive your all-in. |
| First item | Vladimir | First item favours Vlad as sustain lets him tank and heal your poke. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | Late game is Vlad's: he pools your burst and becomes unkillable in fights. |
Levels 1-2 are firmly yours: Vlad is one of the weakest early laners, so you snare, poke, and deny his health-cost last-hits with impunity.
