How to win lane as Pantheon against Vladimir · 49.57% win rate (1,523 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
All-in him early — build MR, anti-heal, snowball.
Track: Vladimir's W — Sanguine Pool (28–16s cooldown). Dodges your burst. Bait it.
Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Vlad is one of the weakest level 1s, but so are you — your point-and-click Shield Vault edges the trade and denies his Transfusion last-hits. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | He has no Sanguine Pool yet to escape your W-stun — your level-2 all-in with W+Q is a clean kill. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | With all three basics you W in and Q-burst him inside Sanguine Pool's long 28-second rank-1 cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Transfusion heals your chip back every 9 seconds — your poke still pressures, but raw kill threat dips to even. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Grand Starfall roams cross-map, but 2 seconds of pool dodges your R and W — strong on the map, even in lane. |
| First item | Pantheon | Your first-item tempo still matches a pre-Rylai's Vlad, but Crimson Pact turns his health into AP — press leads, not even trades. |
| Two+ items | Pantheon | He out-scales hard: Rylai's and Riftmaker feed Crimson Pact's health-to-AP conversion and he drains through your burst — let your team handle him. |
Vlad is one of the weakest level 1s in the game and so are you — but you spike harder and faster. At level 2 your W-stun into a Comet Spear is a real all-in he cannot answer, because Sanguine Pool is not trained yet. At 3, W in and burst him; his only out is the pool, and that is 2 seconds of untargetability on a 28-second cooldown at rank 1. Tides of Blood costs him his own health and is blocked by units, so stand behind a minion.

Nobody on paper — a 49.57% win rate over 1,523 games makes this a coin flip decided by play, not champion select.
Yes — Pantheon vs Vladimir is a genuine skill matchup: 49.57% win rate, and the favour swings window to window rather than being set at champion select.
No hard counter either way — the Pantheon vs Vladimir win rate is 49.57%, an even lane decided by execution.
Pantheon takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Second Wind and Bone Plating) vs Vladimir.
Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion (vs his poke) and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Eclipse (lethality burst) first, then Sundered Sky, with Mercury's Treads.
