How to win lane as Warwick against Vladimir · 53.9% win rate over 666 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Vladimir's health-cost Transfusion and low early damage let your Q heal win level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even before either champ has a committal trade pattern online. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Level 3 favors you as your Jaws sustain out-trades his weak early poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Warwick | Levels 4-5 stay yours while he still lacks the health and haste to out-sustain you. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5-6 is even because your all-in is strong but Sanguine Pool can dodge it. |
| First item | Vladimir | First item favors Vladimir as Transfusion sustain and Pool up-time out-heal your damage. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | With two-plus items his AoE teamfight scaling and Hemoplague amp take over the game. |
Vladimir is soft early: his Transfusion costs health and his damage is low, so your Q Jaws heal and passive let you win short trades and deny his farm. The key window is right after Sanguine Pool — it's a long cooldown, so if he burns it to dodge, step up and punish before it's back.
