Read from Sett's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
This is Sett's own plan; across 2,467 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sett | Sett bullies a Level 1 Vladimir with no Sanguine Pool off the wave. |
| Level 2 | Sett | Level 2 Sett's Grit shielding and trades keep punishing early Vlad. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Sett's full combo out-bursts Vlad's Transfusion sustain at Level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Levels 4-5 Sett wins the all-in whenever Sanguine Pool is on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 5 it hinges on baiting his Pool — a true skill fight around that one button. |
| First item | Vladimir | First-item AP scaling and Tides poke let Vlad's sustain out-heal Sett's trades. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | Late Hemoplague, huge sustain and Pool dodging Sett's R make Vlad the clear winner. |
Levels 1-2 you're the bully: Tides of Blood (E) costs him his own health and Sanguine Pool is not ranked yet, so walk up with Grit shielding and chunk him every time he steps to last-hit.

Nobody on paper — a 50.34% win rate over 2,467 games makes this a coin flip decided by play, not champion select.
Yes — Sett vs Vladimir is a genuine skill matchup: 50.34% win rate, and the favour swings window to window rather than being set at champion select.
No hard counter either way — the Sett vs Vladimir win rate is 50.34%, an even lane decided by execution.
Sett 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) — his healing out-paces your grit trades. Build Stridebreaker (stick to them through the W panel window) first, then Sterak's Gage (Maw if his magic burst is the problem), with Mercury's Treads.
