Ziggs vs Vladimir

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ziggs controls lane with long-range poke and waveclear to deny Vladimir safe farming and scaling.
Maintain high lane pressure to prevent Vladimir from freely using Q sustain and reaching his mid-game spikes.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q from max range and use E to zone Vladimir's approach paths.
Punish Vladimir when his W is down by stepping forward for short trades.
Respect Vladimir's empowered Q windows and avoid engaging when Vladimir W is available for untargetability.

Danger windows

Vladimir is dangerous when empowered Q is ready and W is up; avoid close trades then.
After Vladimir uses W, he is vulnerable; use this window to poke aggressively.
Be cautious when Vladimir reaches level 6 with R ready for burst all-ins or teamfights.

Early game

Use Q and E to poke Vladimir early and force him to use Vladimir W defensively.
Clear waves quickly to deny Vladimir the calm lane he needs to scale.
Avoid wasting W unless to disengage from Vladimir's empowered Q trades.

Power spikes

Ziggs major spikes: Level 6 R and first completed mage poke item for siege and burst.
Vladimir major spikes: Level 6 Vladimir R and first completed AP item; respect these to avoid lethal trades.

Win conditions

Use superior poke and waveclear to keep Vladimir low and deny his scaling.
Force Vladimir to use W defensively, then punish the cooldown with aggressive poke.
Convert lane pressure into turret damage with W executes and objective setups.

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