Read from Vladimir's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ornn.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 favours Ornn — Bellows Breath makes you Brittle before you trade. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as neither can commit to a kill. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays skill: trades hinge on dodging his W and E. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain even, decided by CS and cooldown discipline. |
| Level 6 | Ornn | At 6 Hemoplague plus his no mobility gives you kill windows, favouring you. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even — you can't burst through his tank stats yet. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | At 2+ items your sustain-poke and pool-dodges win the sidelane, favouring you. |
Level 1 favours Ornn — his Brittle-plus-shield trade pattern out-damages your Q if you walk up, so start by farming with Q on the wave and never contest his early walk-ups. Respect the W shield window.
