Playing as Vladimir

  • Transfusion instantly deals damage to the enemy before healing Vladimir, making it one of the best last hitting tools in the game.
  • Cast Hemoplague where it will afflict the most units.
  • Sanguine Pool pops incoming missiles, so it can be used to dodge disables.

Playing against Vladimir

  • Try to take Vladimir down before Hemoplague detonates, as it will heal him for each afflicted enemy Champion.
  • Making Vladimir use Sanguine Pool at the start of a fight will maximize the Health cost of the ability to him.
  • Items that counter Health stacking, such as Liandry's Torment and Blade of the Ruined King, are very effective against Vladimir.
