A high-AP build stacked with magic penetration

Rabadon's Deathcap

Infinity Orb
Void Staff

When the enemy team stacks Magic Resistance and fights run long.

The items add up to +530 Ability Power, and Rabadon's Deathcap's Overkill raises that total by a further 30%. Magic penetration comes to +48 and +48%, so Void Staff's +40% Magic Penetration pays off more the more Magic Resistance the enemy stacks. Infinity Orb makes abilities and empowered attacks Critically Strike enemies below 35% HP for 20% bonus damage. Stormsurge grants you 25% bonus Movement Speed for 2.5s once you deal damage equal to 25% of an enemy champion's max HP within 2.5 seconds (25s cooldown).

Vladimir Strengths

✓Manaless sustain in lane through Skill 1
✓High survivability from Skill 2's untargetability
✓AoE burst damage in the late game

Vladimir Weaknesses

×Low early damage and long cooldowns
×Short range with no blink to close the gap
×Much weaker against Grievous Wounds items

Early Game

Early Vladimir is weak, so avoid forced trades. Heal with Skill 1 while you collect CS. Dodge dangerous ganks with Skill 2 (Sanguine Pool), and accept that this is a stretch to survive.

Mid Game

Once core items come in, sustain and burst start working together. Split-push the side lanes while farming steadily. Always group for key objective fights like Dragon and Herald.

Late Game

A full-build Vladimir is hard to stop. Tank enemy attacks with strong healing while your AoE burst chunks the whole enemy group. You have what it takes to carry the late game.

Teamfights

Use an enchant like Protobelt to close on the enemy backline quickly, hit several targets with Ult, then unload your charged combo. When they turn on you, go untargetable with Skill 2 or Stasis and wait for your healing to come in.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Wasting Skill 2 (Sanguine Pool) on poke or easy dodges

Skill 2 is Vladimir's lifeline and his best self-defense tool, making him untargetable. It costs a heavy 20% of current HP to cast, though. Using it to dodge light poke or for a bit of damage only drains your own HP. In teamfights and all-ins, use it only to avoid the enemy's lethal CC or heavy burst. Until then, hold it.

Vladimir Patch History

VladimirPatch 7.2d

Buff

Crimson Pact Bonus Health to AP: 4.5% → 5% AP to Health: 140% → 150% Transfusion Crimson Rush Bonus Damage Ratio: 75% → 85% Tides of Blood Minimum Damage: 20/40/60/80 + 35% AP + 2.5% max HP → 30/50/70/90 + 35% AP + 3% max HP Vladimir leaned too hard on items early and took too long to come online. Both halves of Crimson Pact convert better now, so health and AP purchases each return more. Tides of Blood gains 10 base damage and half a point of max-health scaling, steadying his early poke. All three of his official loadouts were rebuilt as well.

VladimirPatch 7.1d

Buff

Base Stats Base AR: 34 → 37 Crimson Pact AP to bonus HP conversion: 120% → 140% Three more base AR makes the early trades against AD opponents a little easier to sit through. Crimson Pact converts AP into bonus HP, so raising the rate from 120% to 140% means every AP item now also buys durability. Vladimir's damage build feeds his survivability more directly, giving him more room to step forward in teamfights. The patch shores up both his early stability and his late-game staying power.
