Vladimir vs Fizz

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vladimir is a scaling mage with low early agency who must survive Fizz's high early pressure and burst potential.
Focus on farming safely and using Q sustain to avoid giving Fizz easy all-in windows, as Vladimir's lane pressure is low.

Trading pattern

Take short trades around empowered Q while saving W to negate Fizz's burst engage or Fizz R all-in attempts.
Punish Fizz if he uses Fizz E recklessly by stepping forward with empowered Q for burst trades.
Avoid trading when W is down or empowered Q is not ready, as Fizz can punish Vladimir's lower range and mobility.

Danger windows

Fizz is most dangerous when his Fizz E is available to dodge your W or punish your trades.
Avoid extended fights when W is on cooldown since Vladimir is vulnerable to Fizz's burst.
Fizz's level 6 R creates a kill threat that Vladimir must respect by playing cautiously or using W effectively.

Early game

Use Q to sustain through Fizz's early trades and avoid fighting before level 3 when Fizz's engage is weak.
Avoid using W for small trades to preserve it for dodging Fizz's burst and important damage.
Respect Fizz's high early lane pressure and mobility by maintaining safe spacing and not overextending.

Power spikes

Vladimir's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed AP item, increasing burst and teamfight threat.
Respect Fizz's level 3 spike when he unlocks his full trade combo with Fizz Q, W, and E.
Also respect Fizz's level 6 R spike for kill potential and high burst damage.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by using Q sustain and avoid giving Fizz kill windows before level 6.
Scale into mid-game with empowered Q and R to threaten burst damage in grouped fights.
Use W smartly to dodge Fizz's engage and punish cooldowns with empowered Q trades to gain lane control.
