Varus Build Guide by fawaz70

Introduction

Varus The arrow of retribution! Varus is the new champion that released about a day from this guide was made. To me i thought he was a new ad carry with many other ad carry's such as misfortunes bullet rain, Ashe's ult, and vanyne's "w" skill. Thats what my thoughts were when i first read his skills.

Runes

The runes i chose for marks are the greater mark of desolation. Why? because varus is an ad carry and will be able to carry the team late game. For seals i chose the greater seal of resillence because i will be against another ad carry a bot and will be able to handle a lane and stay in the lane longer even if being harrased. For glyphs i chose greater glyph of sealing. I chose these runes in particular because late game you will probably be against pa's such as mid lane, junglier and top lane. Early game u don't really need to worry about ap which is why u get more ap late game then flat magic resistance Runes. Finally the quintessence. For these i chose again armour penetration. I chose these because late game the enemy will most likely have a tank and theses runes will help u kill them faster. In addition early game you will be able to harras bot lane while farm at the same time because his Piercing Arrow does plenty of damage to ad carries. These are the masteries i have chosen for Varus.

Masteries

For the masteries I chose 21/9/0. I chose 21 for attack because he's an ad carry and will require to carry late game. With these masteries he will be able to deal damage, sustain, and survive in lanes.

Items

For the items i have chosen basic ad carry items most would use except for last whisper (excluding some champions). This will help scale your damage late game and help you be an "anti-tank" such as vayne thanks to the armour penetration. Also the boots early game will help you move quicker when the junglier ganks. The pots will help you survive so you can farm until your first recall which hopefully you can buy your bf sword. If you can't survive your lane and don't have enough for bf sword then simply buy yourself a few doran blades (recommended 2 maximum).

Summoner Spells

Heal and Flash. Simple ad carry summoner spells. Heal to help sustain your lain and flash for that "quick and safe" getaway. You could also go with ignite for the increased damage but heal is what i recommend.

Pros / Cons

Pros:

Very Strong mid and late game
Abusive to enemy's
easy going farmer
cool looking ;)

Very mana intensive
Weak early game
Needs a nice support

Team Work

HIS ULT = GOOD CROWD CONTROL.
His ultimate can spread which is very helpful in team fights and his "E" has CC which is kinda helpful at times.

Farming

GREAT FARMING SKILLS. Even with doran blades he can farm fast and well.
