Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
This is Yone's own plan; across 7,548 pooled games the lane is leaning Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Level 1 favors Yone — Vladimir is one of the weakest early laners and Yone freely bullies him. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Level 2 stays Yone's — W shield and Q poke punish Vlad before his sustain is meaningful. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Level 3 favors Yone — E all-in threat that low-sustain early Vlad can't safely answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 are a skill stage — Transfusion hits 5.7s at rank 4 and heals through your poke. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5-mid is Skill — Vlad's two-item spell-vamp spike and pool timing even the matchup, so the outcome hinges on Grievous Wounds and pool baiting. |
| First item | Yone | First item is a skill stage — crit and Grievous Wounds race his spell vamp, and the pool decides it. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late game is Vladimir's — Crimson Pact turns his AP into health, so he outlives every window you have. |
Vladimir is very weak in the first few levels — no mana bar but low sustain and pushed around easily. Yone should abuse this window hard: Q-poke, W-trade, and deny Vlad's early CS so he can't reach his healing spike on schedule. This is the phase where the lead has to be built. E online — the soul window: dash in, trade everything, snap back with the receipt. The lane's rudest tempo trick.
