Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.
Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.
Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.
Items that counter Health stacking, such as Liandry's Torment and Blade of the Ruined King, are very effective against Vladimir.
Making Vladimir use Sanguine Pool at the start of a fight will maximize the Health cost of the ability to him.
Try to take Vladimir down before Hemoplague detonates, as it will heal him for each afflicted enemy Champion.
