These runes are pretty standard. You get a nice mix of ap, magic pentration, and health. The health is good for making you tanky and thanks to your passive
Crimson Pact, it will also give you some ap.
Alternatly, you could switch the glyphs for
Glyph of Scaling Cooldown Reduction .

This is your main item. It gives you 100 AP (which adds 140 health) and 400 health (which gives you 10 AP). All in all, 110 AP and 540 health. Aside from that, it causes all of your spells to slow enemy, which is good since ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Laning with
Vladimir is pretty straightforwards. Last hit minions with basic attacks or
Transfusion. Poke enemy champion with
Transfusion or
Tides of Blood. When you get Crimson Rush on
Transfusion your preferred target is the enemy champion, but since Crimson Rush doesn't last very long, don't worry if your forced to use it on a minion, you'll get it back soon, and you don't want it to go to waste. Feel free to engage the enemy champion, as you probably heal up a lot faster than he can. Save your W
Sanguine Pool for escaping ganks or unsuccessful engages. You can also you is for initiating a fight when your jungler is ganking, since it slows.






In my opinion the best way for
Vladimir to teamfight is for him to dump his ult on as many enemies as possible, discharge a loaded
Tides of Blood, activate
Zhonya's Hourglass (assuming they enemy team is focusing you), hit someone with a
Transfusion, and then
Flash is for.




- pool away from the fight, damaging and slowing enemies above you, and then just poke them with Q's ans W's, or
- pool after the survivors, slowing them with whatever you've got, and then killing them by spamming.
