This is Vladimir's own plan; across 448 pooled games the lane is leaning Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lillia | Lillia's Blooming Blows speed and Watch Out! Eep! poke let her kite you from level 1. |
| Level 2 | Lillia | Level 2 she keeps her range advantage and burn sustain over your Q trades. |
| Level 3 | Lillia | Level 3 you still can't stack E on her as she dances out with movement speed. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lillia | Levels 4-5 her poke and mobility continue to deny you any favourable trade. |
| Level 6 | Lillia | Level 6 her Lilting Lullaby sleep-burst threatens you more than Hemoplague threatens her. |
| First item | Vladimir | First item Rylai's slow lets you finally pin and out-grind her squishy frame. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | With two items you out-scale a low-durability kiter and burst her down in fights. |
Lillia owns the early lane by kiting: Blooming Blows stacks move speed so she dances out of your 600 E range, and Watch Out! Eep! pokes from 500 while her passive burns a share of your max health. You can't pin her without wasting a 28s pool, so farm, eat minimal poke, and accept the level 1-5 deficit.
