How it works

General

  1. You play as burst oriented Mage.
  2. You build AP items.
  3. You rush Hextech Rocketbelt.

How to play

General

  1. Playing AP Vladimir build, your default rush is Hextech Rocketbelt.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Tips and Tricks

Riot

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