Basically what Theo said. To win the poke fight, just land your Q on him whenever it is off of cooldown, and possibly throw in an E for some more damage. If you are clearly losing the fight, just farm with your Q. One of Vlad's main strengths is that he can just sit in lane forever as long as your Q is always on cooldown. Just farm your way up till lvl6, and then hope for a chance to kill. By lvl 9 (a.k.a maxed Q) you should be able to get your footing back. Whittle him down low enough where you can Q-R-E combo him down. And be wary of using your pool in fights. Only use it when the damage you are dodging is greater than 20% of your current HP. So using it to dodge a blinding dart, or to initiate a fight, won't be worth it. Even though it "slows".
