Essential Tips:

  1. Conserve your W (Sanguine Pool) as it drains significant health. Use only when absolutely necessary.
  2. Play passively early game - Vladimir needs items to scale.
  3. Use flanking positions in teamfights to maximize effectiveness and survivability.
  4. Focus on farming until core items are complete.

These runes optimize Vladimir's scaling potential while providing sufficient sustain and combat power throughout all game phases.
