How to win lane as Yasuo against Vladimir · 46.2% win rate over 6,039 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 is yours since Vladimir is among the weakest early laners with no Pool. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | Level 2 stays Yasuo-favoured as his long-cooldown Transfusion can't out-heal your Q trades. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | Level 3 is yours because your Sweeping Blade trades outpace his sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 favour you: he still lacks reliable peel and you keep him low. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a skill node where his Hemoplague and Pool timing turn the fight into a read. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item is yours as Shieldbow bursts him under his Transfusion heal. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Two items you still win by snowballing early leads before his AP-sustain scaling arrives. |
Levels 1-2 are firmly yours: Vladimir is one of the weakest early laners, with only a long-cooldown Transfusion and no Pool yet, so walk up and Q-auto him relentlessly. Every trade you win is health he can't easily heal back before level 4, so establish a lead and deny him the passive farming start his whole game plan wants.
