Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Twisted Fate aims to control the wave and hold Gold Card threat to pressure Vladimir's weak early lane and limited range.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Vladimir a calm scaling lane and enable impactful roams with R.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using Gold Card when Vladimir's empowered Q is on cooldown and Vladimir W is unavailable.
Use Q poke to force Vladimir to use W defensively, then capitalize on the long cooldown window.
Avoid all-in range without Gold Card ready to prevent Vladimir's burst and sustain from overpowering trades.

Danger windows

Vladimir is dangerous when empowered Q is ready and W is available to avoid CC and damage.
Avoid extended trades or all-ins when Gold Card is not ready to prevent being punished by Vladimir's burst.
Vladimir R windows increase his threat, so play cautiously and avoid overextending during his ultimate.

Early game

Use Q to safely poke and clear waves before Vladimir can engage short trades with empowered Vladimir Q.
Avoid extended duels; punish Vladimir when Vladimir W is down to prevent his untargetability escape.
Keep wave priority to enable R plays and punish Vladimir's low early agency and lane pressure.

Respect Vladimir's empowered Q windows as his strongest short trade threat.

Win conditions
