How to win lane as Taliyah against Vladimir · 46.83% win rate over 709 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Taliyah | Vladimir's long early Transfusion cooldown and lack of clear let you dominate the level-1 shove. |
| Level 2 | Taliyah | Rank-2 Q keeps him below his Q sustain and off the wave. |
| Level 3 | Taliyah | Your level-3 W-E root kills him when Sanguine Pool is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Taliyah | You hold wave and poke control through levels 4-5 against a sustain-starved Vlad. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even and skill-based: his Hemoplague all-in trades against your roam pressure. |
| First item | Taliyah | First-item waveclear spikes you before his health-stacking scales, keeping you ahead. |
| Two+ items | Taliyah | You out-range him into items, zoning with E and Wall to bait his pool before your team commits. |
Vladimir has one of the weakest laning phases into you: Transfusion has a long early cooldown, he has no waveclear, and when his Q is down he has no sustain at all. Push with Threaded Volley, poke him whenever he steps up, and force him below his sustain. At level 3, W Seismic Shove into worked-ground E Unraveled Earth roots him, and if his Sanguine Pool is on cooldown it's a kill.
