Next are 9


For my Quintessences I use 2






For my marks I prefer 9 Greater Mark of Desolation- I prefer the armor penetration over the 9 attack damage you will get from having 9





OTHER GOOD CHOICES



BAD CHOICES
I have no use for any of the other summoner spells on




I believe either one works it just depends on the situation.
For my critical build I prefer piercing arrow first, but for the bruiser one blighted quiver works better with the attack speed early.

First Cast: Varus starts drawing back his next shot, gradually increasing its range and damage.
Second Cast: Varus fires, dealing 10/43/77/110/143 (+1.0 AD) to 15/65/115/165/215 (+1.6 AD) physical damage, reduced by 15% per enemy hit (minimum 33%).



Passive: Varus' basic attacks deal 10/14/18/22/26 (+0.25) bonus magic damage and apply Blight for 6 seconds (stacks 3 times).
Varus' other abilities detonate Blight, dealing magic damage equal to 2/2.75/3.5/4.25/5% (+0.01%) of the target's maximum Health per stack (Max: 360 total damage vs Monsters).
This ability is much like



Also this ability gives Varus passive magic damage to make up for his early low attack damage. Max this first if going with the bruiser build.

Varus fires a hail of arrows that deals 65/105/145/185/225 (+.6 bonus AD) physical damage and desecrates the ground for 4 seconds.
Desecrated Ground slows enemy Movement Speed by 25/30/35/40/45% and reduces healing effects by 50%.
This is pretty much a remake of


Anything that walks through the area is slowed and loses 50% health regeneration rate and healing effects. So this skills is not only great to trap a champion, but it should be fired into the middle of the enemy team during a team fight to reduce their chances of regaining health.

Varus flings out a tendril of corruption that deals 150/250/350 (+1.0 ability power) and immobilizes the first enemy champion hit for 2 seconds.
The corruption then spreads towards nearby uninfected enemy champions, applying the same damage and immobilize if it reaches them.
Varus' ultimate has many uses. You can initiate when your team comes for a gank. Stop a fleeing enemy. Or pin an entire enemy team during a team fight. You must remember that this is another skill shot so take a second to aim and don't waste this amazing ult.

This passive is great. It helps farm minions early and gives a nice 20% bonus to attack speed to get in shots early on enemy champions. When you kill or get an assist in a team fight it makes varus super effective. You can a 40% bonus on attack speed to help finish the fight.

His arrows sundered the troops who tried to wrest the temple from him that day. However, when he returned to his village, he found that it had been reduced to a smoldering graveyard. Remorse at the sight of his slain family gave way to overwhelming regret and then to seething hatred. He swore to slaughter every Noxian invader, but first he needed to become stronger. He turned to that which he had sacrificed everything to protect. The pit of corruption would consume him wholly, as a flame devours a wick, but its abominable power would burn within him until he was lost. This was a path from which there could be no return. With grim resolve, he condemned himself to the black flames, feeling malevolent energy bond to his skin... and with it, the promise of ruin. He left, seeking the blood of all Noxians involved with the invasion, a grisly task that eventually led him to the invasion's most infamous perpetrators in the League of Legends.
