Read from Wukong's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Wukong | Vladimir's long early Q cooldown and no Pool let your Level 1 engage bully him. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | At Level 2 he still lacks sustain to survive your trades. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | Level 3 your full combo punishes his weak early laning. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 you keep the trade edge before his sustain ramps. |
| Level 6 | Vladimir | Level 6 his Hemoplague and Q sustain begin to online, tipping trades to Vladimir. |
| First item | Vladimir | First-item Transfusion healing and Pool out-sustain your burst, favouring him. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | Late-game Vlad out-heals your DPS and pools your engage, dominating the matchup. |
You own the early game: Vladimir is notoriously weak levels 1-5 with a long Transfusion cooldown and no reliable escape before Sanguine Pool ranks up. Punish him relentlessly with Nimbus Strike engages and Crushing Blow whenever his Q is down; a good early lead is your whole game plan.
