Playing as Vladimir

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Save your empowered Transfusion

    After two Transfusion (Q) casts, the next one is empowered for a few seconds: save it for a trade, since it hits harder and heals you based on your missing health.

  2. Farm safely with Transfusion

    Last-hit minions with Transfusion (Q) until your items come in: it deals damage before healing you, and costs you nothing.

  3. Charge Tides of Blood at least 1 second

    Charge Tides of Blood (E) for at least 1 second before releasing: the missiles then also slow, and their damage grows with the charge.

  4. Dodge in your Sanguine Pool

    Save Sanguine Pool (W) to dodge CC or a burst: for 2 seconds, you're untargetable. It costs you part of your current health.

  5. Hemoplague first, burst second

    Cast Hemoplague (R) before your burst: infected enemies take increased damage from all sources, then the blast heals you for each champion hit.

Playing against Fizz

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Play hard without his E

    Take your trades when he doesn't have Playful (E), in the early levels or right after he uses it: it's his only dodge, on a 16 to 8 second cooldown.

  2. Back off when his trident glows

    Back off after the empowered Seastone Trident (W) auto: if it doesn't kill, his autos deal bonus magic damage for a few seconds.

  3. Dodge his fish

    Dodge the Chum the Waters (R) fish by stepping aside: it attaches to the first champion hit and slows them, then a shark knocks them into the air.

  4. Move away if the fish has you

    If the Chum the Waters (R) fish attaches to you, move away from your allies: the shark knocks back and damages everyone around you.
