Vladimir AP build

2011-02-11T14:27:00.000-08:00

Heyo! This is my Vladimir AP Nuke build. It can help you do insane damage while having an abundant amount of health, Probably topping out at around 3.5k-4.5k Health and 700-800 AP(Assuming you get your SS stacks up!).

Masteries are the usual 9/0/21 build with ignite + flash or ghost.

The skill order is:

Ability	Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18
	Crimson Pact
	Transfusion
	Sanguine Pool
	Tides of Blood
	Hemoplague

Items are:

Runes are:

Tips and tricks:

1. You can use Sanguine Pool to Permanently drop aggro from turrets EVEN AFTER damaging enemy champions, AS long as their is another target for the turret to fire upon. Ex: A friendly minion, pet, or even another champion.

2. Your Ultimate(Hemoplague) has an excellent reach, See someone recalling too close to their turret but are low health? You can cast your ult on them from outside the turret's range as long as you hit them with just the outside edge of the spell.

3. Level 13+ Don't be afraid to turret dive, Run in and smack the enemy with a Transfusion or your Ultimate and then useSanguine Pool for an easy escape. By level 13+ your Sanguine Pool cooldown should be low enough so that it will be up the next time you need it.

4. Never initiate with your Sanguine Pool, Save it for extra damage after your ultimate(Level 13+ So the cooldown is shorter) or during iffy battles to help with your retreat.

5. Gank! Vladamir is an excellent ganker. If you are playing center, watch the top and bottom lanes constantly and work with your teammates to set up traps for the enemy champions who push a little too far into your territory. Try to get behind them and use your Sanguine Pool (If it is safe to do so) to slow them down for your friendly champs.

6. Average speed melee chasing you? Do you have Rylai's Crystal Scepter? If so, Cast Transfusion on every cooldown while running. The slow from Rylai's will help you to keep your distance while allowing you to get your health up and maybe even get the advantage on your opponent.

Hope you enjoy!

Sorry for not uploading any new guides in a while but I promise to do atleast 1 a week from now on. I was very busy with school these last couple of months.

I made this Akali guide because I was simply not satisfied with the other ones out there. Everyone has his or her own opinion on what is best, but I found my favorite way to play The Fist of Shadow, and sharing is caring, so without further ado...

Ability Sequence

Ability	Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18
	Twin Disciplines
	Mark of the Assassin
	Twilight Shroud
	Crescent Slash
	Shadow Dance

Masteries: 14/16/0

And In my opinion flash and exhaust are the best choices for spells or flash and ignite.

Items:

Mordekaiser

2010-09-29T12:34:00.000-07:00

Or as I like to call him, WARdekaiser. In my opinion he's one the funnest and best tanks in the game. He has crazy damage and if played right just cannot die.

For summoner spells you NEED ignite and ghost or flash. Once you get someone to 20% and use ignite along with your ultimate they will die. For runes you want cooldown reduction along with magic resist or health.

The items you get first really depend on the team you are facing. If they are casters you want to get Force of Nature right after boots, if there are a lot of melee you get Randuin's Omen and stack sunfires. But it should generally look like this:

Doran's Shield
8 Armor, 120 Health, 8 Health Per 5 Sec.
Item Costs: 435
Health Potion
Click: Restores 200 Health over 20 seconds.
Item Costs: 35
Sorcerer's Shoes
20 Magic Penetration. UNIQUE Passive: Enhanced Movement 2
Item Costs: 1100
Sunfire Cape
45 Armor, 450 Health. Passive: Deals 40 Magic Damage a second to nearby enemies.
Item Costs: 2510
Force of Nature
40 Health Per 5 Sec, 76 Magic Resist, 8 Movement Speed. UNIQUE Passive: Restores 0.35% of your champion's health every second.
Item Costs: 2190
Trinity Force
25 Attack Speed, 20 Attack Damage, 30 Ability Power, 12 Critical Strike Chance, 300 Health, 300 Mana, 12 Movement Speed. UNIQUE Passive: 25% chance on hit to slow the target by 35% for 2.5 seconds; on cast, increases your base Attack Damage by 130% for one attack.
Item Costs: 1525
Sunfire Cape
45 Armor, 450 Health. Passive: Deals 40 Magic Damage a second to nearby enemies.

And then of course throw a Warmog's Armor whereever you feel you need the extra health.

For spells you want to max out Siphon of Destruction and then Creeping Death. You should get one rank of Mace of Spades at level 2.

Servers

2010-09-24T15:22:00.000-07:00

I must say I am very impressed by the amount of progress Riot has made with the European servers. The best thing is that there are no more wait times where you have to spam refresh on the browser just to see Teemo.

Kassadin

2010-09-24T05:49:00.001-07:00

Lately I've been playing Kassadin and I must say that he is one of the funnest champions in the game. Not only does he have a 6 second flash but also does nice damage and can 1v1 any other champion.

First off are the summoner spells. I usually go with Cleanse and Flash but teleport instead of flash is also a good choice.

The runes you want are simple. A LOT of ability power. Fill it all with ability power.

These are the items you need. You can switch up boots with mejai's soulstealer if you are doing very well for that early game ability power boost.

	Sapphire Crystal 200 Mana. Item Costs: 400
	Health Potion Click: Restores 200 Health over 20 seconds. Item Costs: 35
	Health Potion Click: Restores 200 Health over 20 seconds. Item Costs: 35
	Catalyst the Protector 290 Health, 325 Mana. Passive: Restores 300 Health and 250 Mana upon leveling up. Item Costs: 1325
	Boots of Speed UNIQUE Passive: Enhanced Movement 1 Item Costs: 350
	Mejai's Soulstealer 20 Ability Power. UNIQUE Passive: Your champion gains 8 ability power per stack, receiving 2 stacks for a kill or 1 stack for an assist. This effect can stack 20 times; you lose a third of your stacks if you die. At 20 stacks, your champion's cooldowns are reduced by 15%. Item Costs: 1235
	Sorcerer's Shoes 20 Magic Penetration. UNIQUE Passive: Enhanced Movement 2 Item Costs: 1100
	Tear of the Goddess 350 Mana, 5 Mana Per 5 Sec. UNIQUE Passive: Each time your Champion uses an Ability their Maximum Mana will increase by 4 Mana, up to a maximum of twice in a six second period; bonuses cap at +1000 Mana. Item Costs: 980
	Banshee's Veil 450 Health, 400 Mana, 57 Magic Resist. UNIQUE Passive: Blocks one negative spell every 30 seconds. Item Costs: 1840
	Archangel's Staff 45 Ability Power, 400 Mana, 25 Mana Per 5 Sec. Passive: 3% of your Max Mana is converted to Ability Power. UNIQUE Passive: Each time your Champion uses an Ability their Maximum Mana will increase by 4 Mana. This effect has a 3 second cooldown. Bonus caps at 1000 mana. Item Costs: 2260
	Lich Bane 80 Ability Power, 350 Mana, 30 Magic Resist, 7 Movement Speed. UNIQUE Passive: 100% chance when an ability is used that your next physical attack deals an additional 100% of your Ability Power in damage. This effect has a 3 second cooldown. Item Costs: 2635
	Zhonya's Ring 120 Ability Power. UNIQUE Passive: Increases Ability Power by 25%. UNIQUE Active: Places your champion into Stasis for 2 seconds, rendering you invulnerable and untargetable but unable to take any actions. 90 sec cooldown. Item Costs: 3460

Summoner skills are the basic 9/0/21 for casters

Now for the spells.

Ability	Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18

	Null Sphere
