Vladimir
GameplayVladimir is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- Crimson Pact only affects Vladimir's maximum health and will not increase Vladimir's current health to prevent Vladimir from restoring health whenever his AP fluctuates.
- Vladimir's current health can decrease to match his maximum health if Crimson Pact's bonus health is lost.
- Crimson Pact's bonus ability power stacks multiplicatively with other sources of % ability power but its bonus health stacks additively with other sources of bonus health. With Rabadon's Deathcap's Magical Opus, the total is (35% AP + 4.49955% bonus health) bonus ability power and (216% AP + 1.86648% bonus health) bonus health.
- Even though the healing effect is visualized as a projectile, the healing itself triggers instantly.
- Vladimir's resource bar indicates his current Crimson Rush and changes colors depending on the charge-up stage of his surge.
- White while generating the first stack and while at 1 stack (there is no time-out period).
- Orange while generating the second stack.
- Red while he is surging (Crimson Rush will deplete over 2.5 seconds once triggered).
- Each stack generates over-time (Transfusion's cooldown).
- Vladimir can cast Sanguine Pool and Hemoplague during Transfusion's cast time.
- The Crimson Rush depletes normally while under resurrection effects.
- The first tick damages immediately so the final one occurs 0.5 seconds before Vladimir becomes targetable again.
- There is an extra damage tick for 0 damage when Vladimir becomes targetable again, triggering the same spell effects as the normal ticks (except those which require damage greater than 0 being dealt).
- This will trigger turret aggro onto Vladimir if an enemy champion is still within the effect radius when Sanguine Pool ends.
- The slow ends immediately once affected enemies get out of range.
- Vladimir can still use summoner spells and item actives during Sanguine Pool.
- While unable to attack, Vladimir can still input attack commands - causing him to follow his attack target.
- Vladimir's attack range is reduced「 to 0 」「 by 450 」while pooled - causing him to attempt to move right up to his attack target.
- Vladimir's
- The spell indicator shows 11 equally spaced missile indicators when hovering the ability in the HUD, however the spell actually casts 15 equally spaced missiles.
- The health cost may still drop Vladimir below the specified amount if he is above it. This is verified for every tick of health cost, i.e if the first tick drops him below it, the next ones will stop affecting him if he remains below it.
- The following table refers for interactions while Vladimir is channeling:

- Hemoplague will amplify almost all sources and types of damage (including damage from neutral monsters but excluding true damage, with percent modifiers stacking multiplicatively).
- Hemoplague amplifies itself for an actual 165 / 275 / 385 (+ 77% AP) damage.
- Hemoplague's modifier to incoming damage stacks additively with Alistar's Unbreakable Will for a total damage reduction of 45/55/65%.*
- Spell shield does not negate the detonation.

A fiend with a thirst for mortal blood, Vladimir has influenced the affairs of Noxus since the empire’s earliest days. In addition to unnaturally extending his life, his mastery of hemomancy allows him to control the minds and bodies of others as easily as his own. In the flamboyant salons of the Noxian aristocracy, this has enabled him to build a fanatical cult of personality around himself—while in the lowest back alleys, it allows him to bleed his enemies dry.
