Read from Vladimir's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vladimir | Level 1 favours you: ranged Q pokes Yone before he has any dash to trade back. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as Yone picks up his kit and starts trading through minions. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays a skill lane where his Q-dash mobility offsets your poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 tilt Yone: Q3 knock-up and E swap let him all-in when your Pool is down. |
| Level 6 | Vladimir | Level 6 favours you as Hemoplague and Sanguine Pool out-sustain his burst combo. |
| First item | Yone | At first item Yone's tempo spike gives him one clean all-in window when your Pool is on cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | With two-plus items your AP scaling, slows, and Hemoplague teamfighting beat his single-target dive. |
Level 1-2 you own the tempo: ranged Transfusion pokes Yone before he has his Q-dash or E, so chunk him while he can only walk into range.
