Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillVlad is one of the weakest level-1s, but so are you with only Q — deny his last-hits and set up the lane.
Level 2LilliaYour Q sweetspot plus E slow starts the Dream Dust burn and your move-speed stacks keep you out of his E range.
Level 3LilliaLayered Q-E burn ticks faster than his level-3 Q can heal — he bleeds every time he steps up.
Levels 4-5LilliaFull Q rank is your peak: the compounding DoT grinds down a Vlad who has no Rylai sustain yet.
Level 6Even / skillYour sleep is real but he can Sanguine Pool it, so the level-6 window is a coin-flip — save R for a missed pool or a gank.
First itemLilliaLiandry's/Riftmaker makes your W and passive deal percent-HP damage that beats his first AP item — force the skirmish.
Two+ itemsVladimirFull-AP Vlad pools your CC, out-sustains your burn, and bursts you down — his scaling hard-reclaims the late game.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Vlad is one of the weakest level-1s, but so are you — you only have Q, so just last-hit from range with the sweetspot and don't trade into his E poke for nothing. By 2-3 you layer Q sweetspot with the E slow and start the Dream Dust burn, and your stacking Q move speed plus passive means he can never walk away from the DoT. Watch his health bar, not his autos — every step he takes to E you costs him HP he has to Q back.
