Azir vs Vladimir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Maintain controlled waves to safely farm and scale soldier DPS against Vladimir's low early pressure.
Punish (W) cooldown to limit his untargetability and healing windows.
Use soldier zones to zone Vladimir and prevent him from freely sustaining in lane.

Trading pattern

Place soldiers with (W) and reposition with (Q) for poke without committing (E) aggressively.
Punish Vladimir's trades when his (W) is down to prevent his healing and damage avoidance.
Avoid trading when empowered (Q) is ready to out-sustain short trades.

Danger windows

Avoid committing when (W) untargetability is available to dodge damage and slow.
Play cautiously when your (R) is down as Vladimir's all-in threat increases.
Do not use (E) aggressively without a safe escape to avoid punishment from empowered (Q) or (R).

Early game

Avoid extended trades before your soldiers have threat and Vladimir's empowered (Q) is down.
Use (W) and (Q) to poke safely while respecting (W) untargetability cooldown.
Keep wave stable to deny Vladimir easy access to CS and healing through (Q).

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks major defensive and pick potential; use it to punish overcommits.
First completed mage DPS item significantly increases soldier damage and poke threat.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 (R) and first AP item spikes as windows to play more cautiously.

Win conditions

Outscale Vladimir by safely farming and using soldier positioning to chip and zone him.
Use (R) to disengage or punish Vladimir's overextensions and prevent his all-ins.
Control mid-game fights around objectives leveraging soldier zones and (R) displacement for teamfight dominance.

Tip: For Azir vs Vladimir, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
