Farm safely levels 1-3, avoid Vladimir's empowered Q.Harass with Q in lane, pick up dagger after he uses spells.Post-6, beware his R swallowing daggers; engage carefully.Mid-game, roam often to use your mobility.In teamfights, look for flanks, watch his R and W.

How a strong Vladimir player plays

1
R Swallows Dagger
After you throw your dagger with Q, don't rush to pick it up. A good Vladimir will use his R to swallow your dagger, then punish you when you come forward.
2
Empowered Q Trade
He will stack his Crimson Rush and use empowered Q to trade. Watch his bar when you last hit, or you'll take free damage.
3
Pool to Dodge Burst
He will use W to dodge your key damage during your combo, then counterattack when your abilities are on cooldown.
