About Me.

Hello my name is Neslinx, and I may not be some Diamond 1 player but I am not stupid with Varus. i main ADC and more specifically Varus himself. This is also my first and probably only guide (will see) so without further ado read on summoner!

How to Play Varus.

I see so many players open with their Q and then launch off their skills in order, NO! You want to stack three Blights then Q then stack three more and R, then three more then E, then if the target flashes away just Q again.

Early Game

Early on it is pretty simple, FARM! Your CS means more than you K/D. 20cs is worth on kill for you. You need to have at least 77cs by 10 minutes, it may seem hard but trust me it will set you ahead. Whenever you are waiting to last hit you should be charging a Q to poke your enemies. Don't rush in to try and get First Blood or anything like that just stay back and farm, I cannot stress that more!

Mid Game.

Still farming.... You should pretty much farm through Mid Game unless you need to defend of some kind but really by this point you should have a good portion of your build. Your team will despise you for just farming but they will love you later when you pull the Nexus.
Back to Top

Late Game

Alright so you're ready to break into some team fights! Just wait for your team to start the fights and then begin. For the most part you should be focusing priority target such as the ADC or Mid laner, or sometimes whoever is fed (If you can kill them). You will be attacking three times then launching a skill, try to save your ult for a more tide turning point.
