Vladimir vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vladimir faces a low early agency Aurelion Sol and must survive early poke to reach his strong scaling spikes.
Focus on sustaining with Q and avoid giving Aurelion Sol a passive lane to farm freely and scale uncontested.

Trading pattern

Take short trades around empowered Q and save W to avoid punishment from Aurelion Sol's poke.
Punish Aurelion Sol when he uses Aurelion Sol Q and W by stepping forward before they reset.
Avoid trading when empowered Q is down or W is on cooldown to reduce risk.

Danger windows

Vladimir is vulnerable after using W due to its long cooldown and health cost.
Avoid engaging when empowered Q is unavailable or before R is unlocked.
Be cautious of Aurelion Sol's roaming potential; push wave and ping when he leaves lane.

Early game

Use Q sustain to mitigate Aurelion Sol's poke and avoid extended trades before level 6.
Avoid forcing W early to prevent vulnerability during its cooldown.
Pressure the wave cautiously to deny Aurelion Sol easy farm and delay his scaling.

Power spikes

Vladimir's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed AP item.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late-game power spike after his ultimate upgrade and Rylais completion.
Mid-game AP and cooldown reductions enhance Vladimir's threat in fights.

Win conditions

Survive early lane with Q sustain and avoid extended poke to reach mid-game spikes.
Use empowered Q and R to punish grouped enemies in mid-game teamfights.
Deny Aurelion Sol free farm by applying wave pressure and forcing him to use abilities defensively.

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