Read from Quinn's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Vlad is one of the weakest level-1s and you own the lane with range and Harrier resets — leash near him and bully his Q last-hits. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | He still has no escape and your W steroid lets you chase down every Vulnerable proc before Pool exists. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | With Q-W-E online your blind plus Vault-Harrier burst chunks him far harder than his Q-shield can trade back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | You out-trade a pre-Rylai Vlad — bait W Pool, then all-in while its long cooldown is up. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | R gives you roam tempo and a cancel-AoE finisher; his immobility means you take plates and snowball other lanes for free. |
| First item | Quinn | Your lethality/crit first item still beats his first AP item — keep forcing the all-in on his Pool timer. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | Full-AP Vlad out-scales hard: Rylai's kiting, Q drain, and untargetable Pool flip the duel — play safe and let your team handle him. |
Vlad is one of the weakest level-1s in the game and you are one of the strongest, so own this from the first wave. He has no escape until W Sanguine Pool, so deny his Q last-hits at range and step up with Harrier — your Vault and Q blind refresh the Vulnerable mark for free burst he simply can't trade back. Don't dump your whole combo into a Q-empowered shield; poke the chunks, mind your own positioning, and force him low before he ever spikes.

Quinn takes Press the Attack 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 Youmuu's Ghostblade (roam + burst) first, then The Collector, with Mercury's Treads.
