Use your medium early agency and lane pressure to deny Vladimir a calm scaling lane by forcing wave pressure and short trades.
Focus on splitpushing and side-lane duels where you can build Fury and extend fights using (R) to punish Vladimir's low early lane pressure and sustain reliance.
Trading pattern
Trade aggressively when Fury is high and (W) slow can limit Vladimir's escape, using (E) only when you can chase or reset.
Punish Vladimir after he uses (W) untargetability, as he is vulnerable during its cooldown.
Avoid committing all-in without (R) available, as Vladimir's empowered (Q) and (R) burst can punish overextensions.
Danger windows
Be cautious when (W) is available, as his untargetability can negate your engage and punish you.
Avoid fighting during Vladimir's empowered (Q) cooldowns and when (R) is ready to burst.
After using (E) forward, you are vulnerable to kiting or ganks; avoid overextending without (R) or jungle support.
Early game
Build Fury through wave control early to enable strong trades before Vladimir can safely use (W).
Avoid engaging without Fury or (R) as Vladimir's empowered (Q) and (W) can punish poor trades.
Use (W) slow after building Fury to reduce Vladimir's ability to kite and sustain through trades.
Power spikes
At level 6, use (R) to force extended fights and tower dives, turning low-health trades into kills or pressure.
Two-item spike lets you pressure side lanes and force Vladimir to respond, exploiting his low lane pressure.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 (R) window by holding defensive tools and avoid fighting grouped to reduce his burst impact.
Win conditions
Deny Vladimir a safe farming lane by applying wave pressure and forcing trades when Fury and (R) are available.
Use (R) windows to commit to all-ins or tower dives, converting low-health fights into kills or side-lane pressure.
Reach your two-item power spike to maximize splitpush threat and force Vladimir to respond, creating map pressure and team advantages.
