| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 yours — Vlad is among the weakest early laners in the game. |
| Level 2 | Qiyana | Level 2 still favors you; his Transfusion trades lose to your first-hit. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 you assemble WEQ and out-all-in his weak health pool. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 you hold the kill window before his item scaling arrives. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your R wall-slam out-bursts his heals after his pool is baited. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item lets you burst through Transfusion faster than he heals. |
| Two+ items | Qiyana | Two-plus items you still win by forcing his pool and killing in one window. |
