| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sett | Sett bullies a weak, mana-starved Level 1 Vladimir 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: Vlad's early Q Transfusion is weak and mana-hungry, so walk up with Grit shielding and chunk him whenever he steps to farm. Deny CS and force him to give ground.
