Vladimir the Crimson Reaper

A fiend with a thirst for mortal blood, Vladimir has influenced the affairs of Noxus since the empire's earliest days. In addition to unnaturally extending his life, his mastery of hemomancy allows him to control the minds and bodies of others as easily as his own. In the flamboyant salons of the Noxian aristocracy, this has enabled him to build a fanatical cult of personality around himself—while in the lowest back alleys, it allows him to bleed his enemies dry.

MetaBot Tips

  • Vladimir has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
  • Vladimir has a high rate of healing compared to other champions. They may be good at exchanging hit trades in lane or before teamfights since they can recover damage taken very well.
  • Vladimir has a much early late game win rate than their late game win rate. Take advantage of this by playing aggressive early on and trying to snowball through kills.
  • Vladimir has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
  • Vladimir has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
  • Vladimir has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.

Gameplay Tips

Playing 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.
