How to play it

✓

His empowered Q

When he tanks a tower shot to land empowered Q, give the CS: low HP lets him dive with Q, R, and Ignite.

✓

Outscale him

Most Vlads let you farm: get to Stridebreaker + Hullbreaker and the side lane is basically GG in your favor.

✓

Just farm early

He out-sustains and out-pokes you early; there's little to do but farm safely until your items.

✕

Never contest the wave when he's tanking tower shots for empowered Q: give the CS and keep your HP up.
