First off, you WILL need Tamamo, so either aim for the banners where she is featured, or just get a friend. Her kit is vital for a working Arts-team.

As for Jeanne, she doesn't work well with Vlad because she suck up all the critical stars, and both Vlad and Tamamo need Arts-crits to facilitate their NP spams.

Now, as for the best free option to support Vlad, I put my five cents on Hans. He generates stars (I use mine with 2030 to belch out 17 free stars per turn for 80% of the battle), he has a huge crit-buff that lasts for three turns, he can NP on demand, and his NP heals, buffs and also increases C-star drop rate even further. The only problem is that you need to feed him at least three Grails to make him competitive, but as far as compatibility with Vlad is concerned, he is second only to Tamamo, and you are going to get him no NP5 just through the daily pulls anyways.

Also, while wlad is not as explosive as the "flagship berserkers", he can do some very imressive critical NP brave chain damage with full Hans/Tama buffs, and if the RNG decides to be nice, he can do the same on the next turn as well.
