How to win lane as Zoe against Vladimir · 51.95% win rate over 1,434 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zoe | Vlad's weak level-1 heal and health-cost kit let your poke dominate. |
| Level 2 | Zoe | Level 2 E-Q keeps chunking Vlad faster than his Transfusion recovers. |
| Level 3 | Zoe | At 3 your full combo still out-damages his minimal sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zoe | Through 4 you keep starving his healing rhythm and control trades. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Around 5 his ranked heal and item timing even the lane to skill. |
| First item | Vladimir | First-item sustain plus Sanguine Pool flip the all-in to Vlad. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | Late-game Vlad out-heals and out-scales your entire combo. |
You start dominant: Vlad is one of the weakest early laners, his heal is minor and his E drains his own health, so your bubble poke chunks him faster than he recovers.
