Go for vile Count ultimately with pointed stakes (6)
I believe the answer is:
picket
'pointed stakes' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'go for vile count ultimately' is the wordplay.
'go for' becomes 'pick'.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
The last letters of 'vile count' are 'et'.
'pick'+'et'='PICKET'
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for picket that I've seen before include "Group outside workplace encouraging strike action" , "Industrial action and wooden fence" , "Wooden fencing stake" , "Striker's line outside workplace" , "Sentry" .)
