Vladimir tips:

  • 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 Anivia

  • Try to gank Anivia when she's laning. With multiple people, it is easier to ensure that her egg dies.
  • If you're playing a ranged champion, stay far enough away from Anivia so you can dodge Flash Frost more easily.
  • Try to fight Anivia in the lanes. In the jungle she can block pathways with lower ranks of Crystallize.
