Track: Vladimir's W — Sanguine Pool (28–16s cooldown). Untargetable dodge — bait it before you spend your kill window.
Read from Taliyah's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
This is Taliyah's own plan; across 1,434 pooled games the lane is Vladimir-favoured.
| 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 | Even / skill | Your level-3 W-E stun kills him when Sanguine Pool is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | 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 | Even / skill | First-item waveclear spikes you before his health-stacking scales, keeping you ahead. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | Scaled Vlad wins: Hemoplague amps damage and pool dodges your combo — bait pool before you commit. |
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 stuns him, and if his Sanguine Pool is on cooldown it's a kill.
