Track: Vladimir's W — Sanguine Pool (28–16s cooldown). Untargetable dodge — bait it before you spend your kill window.
Read from Syndra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Level 1 Syndra's Q pokes a sustain-less Vladimir who can barely trade back this early. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 Syndra's added poke keeps Vlad low while his Q drain is still on a long cooldown. |
| Level 3 | Syndra | Level 3 the QE stun punishes Vlad hard whenever he steps up to farm. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 6 Syndra's R burst threatens Vlad; she just times it around his Sanguine Pool. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | First-item Syndra out-damages Vlad before his drain-tank scaling and item spikes arrive. |
| First item | Even / skill | Mid-game Syndra must convert her early lead, baiting the pool to burst Vlad before he outscales. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Full build Vlad is tanky, so Syndra's edge is having ended the game on the lead she built early. |
Syndra hard-punishes Vladimir's weak early game: he has no sustain items yet and his Q drain is on a long early cooldown, so Syndra's Q and QE poke keep him perpetually low. Vladimir wants to farm safely and survive to his item spikes, so Syndra should deny CS and zone him off the wave. Every bit of poke damage matters because Vlad only gets stronger with time.

Start Doran's Ring + 2 Health Potions and back for Oblivion Orb (≈800g) — cuts his sustain. Build Luden's Companion first, then Shadowflame, with Sorcerer's Shoes / Mercury's Treads.
