Varus Matchups Overview

Varus General information

Varus tips and tricks

Try to poke the enemy down with your Hail of ArrowsE and Piercing ArrowQ before committing to a fight.

Delay team fights while you harass the enemy with your Piercing ArrowQ. Once an enemy champion overextended, cast your Ultimate Chain of CorruptionR to catch them out of position.

Never leave your team's side as you will be easy pickings for an Assassin or Bruiser. Stick with your Support throughout the later stages of the game.
