Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vladimir is a scaling mage with low early pressure who must survive Taliyah's poke and control to reach mid-game power spikes.
Focus on farming safely and using Q sustain to avoid giving Taliyah free poke or roam windows.

Trading pattern

Take short trades around empowered Q and avoid using W unless to dodge Taliyah W displacement.
Punish Taliyah when she wastes W or E by stepping forward for empowered Q trades.
Avoid trading when Taliyah's W and E are up and ready to punish forward movement.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Taliyah's W and E are available as she can displace and zone you effectively.
Avoid trades when your W is down since you lose your main defensive tool.
Punish Taliyah's cooldowns on W and E to create safe trading or wave pressure windows.

Early game

Use Q to sustain through Taliyah's poke and avoid extended trades when Taliyah holds W and E.
Avoid pushing hard early to limit Taliyah's roam potential and wait for empowered Q windows.
Respect Taliyah's medium early agency by playing cautiously until level 6.

Power spikes

Vladimir's major spikes: level 6 R and first completed AP item.
Taliyah's major spikes: level 6 Taliyah R and first mage item.
