Key Tips:

1. Conserve your Pool (W) as it costs significant health - use only as a last resort
2. Play passively early game - Vladimir needs items to scale
3. Look for flanking opportunities in teamfights to maximize impact
4. Focus on farming safely until you reach your power spikes

This build and rune setup optimizes Vladimir's scaling potential while providing useful utility through Nimbus Cloak for mobility and Legend: Haste for ability haste stacking.
