Usually play support but started playing him yesterday. Been having a lot of fun. I’m returning to the game so I’m going off top builds right now.
Did some research 🧐 and I’ve been doing pretty well. Except against ranged and mobility 😩
Just came to see if anyone had any other advice

its patch 7.2 and i haven't even tested this build... i have no idea how to build him

dunno if this works

i saw how protoplasm works. its basically mantle of the 12th hour execpt mantle has no heal.

Hi, obviously everyone plays Varus in different ways, (which is kinda like his whole thing) so this probably sounds horrible to most of you. Im just looking for someone who also wants an actual "Set Up" Archer sort of kit I guess

Varus

P) The Darkin Bow:: On-Hit Applies a stack of Blight. Blight stacks up to 10 times, and each stack applies a 1%MissingHealth Physical Damage Bleed () and a 3(+AS)% Slow, both of which only take effect if the enemy is moving away from Varus. The first stack of Blight lasts for 2 seconds, and each subsequent stack adds a half second to that timer, for a maximum of 7 seconds. (Nasus's wither lasts 5 for reference) If the enemy is either standing still or moving towards Varus, they will not be slowed or take bleed damage.

Q) Piercing Arrow: Less damage overall in exchange for longer range and significant missing health damage(%AS). The projectile also "detonates" on hit, meaning multiple targets cannot be hit. Champions Below 50% health are slowed by 99% for .5 seconds and Revealed for 1s. Applies a stack of Blighted Quiver.

W) Hunter's Snare: Varus fires a projectile with 600 range. If the projectile connects with a wall, it attatches and creates a trap with a small radius. Upon activation enemy champions within the radius are snared and revealed. If the projectile connects with a champion or minion it slows and does a very small amount of damage.

Snares last on terrain indefinitely

Up to Three Snares can be active at a time.

Snares can be "detected" by Oracles/Pink Wards and killed in two autos

E) Hail of Arrows: Slow% Decreased, now Grounds

R) Final Stand: Varus Reveals a cone shaped area in front of him 1350 units in length. On press, Varus also Roots and Silences Himself and gains 575 Bonus Auto Attack Range and (AS%) Omnivamp for 5 seconds. The root and silence are complete (unlike rumble, who can still use summoner spells during his "Overheat"), and cannot be cleansed or absorbed by spell shield.

She was like 9/0 at this point and ended the game 21/1.

Varus isn't exactly in the best spot right now, but I'd be happy to help if anyone has questions.

Aphelios and Zeri main here reallllly liking Varus so far. I never feel out of the game really, but sometimes I’m slightly ahead while the rest of my team is getting crushed. The kind of situation where you’ll just have your lead slip away and lose your power spikes of on hit to crit scaling. If I need to play hypercarry late is pivoting to crit or full AP burst possible after the Shiv? U.gg doesn’t say anything other than on hit or lethality. Especially given shiv is split and a good farming item I’d assume its good for remaining flexible.

Ryze was their carry and I was playing ap Varus as anyone with culture should.

Hey guys I’m an emerald adc player and new to varus but been playing him the last two weeks and loving him. I’ve searched a up the meta builds and trained some random stuff on a target dummy and found an interesting combo. I run lethal tempo with JOAT, static shiv, cyclosword then the last 4 are crit items stormrazor/lord doms/infinity edge and whatever last. With helm start JOAT triggers at 2 items and the energised procs on Q makes poke close to lethality level and the dps is close to on-hit once the crit is online.

Goofy build and I only run it in games where I don’t need the survivability but feels like a nice medium that has good dps and poke. Just looking for other people’s opinions and builds. If anybody is interested can share your build and I’ll compare in the practice tool and share the test dummy numbers.

Like

Rageblade, omni boots, yuntal, fiend Hunter bolts, hexplate, Terminus, Jak sho.

With lethal Tempo.

Effects of fiendhunter and hexplate Help with getting the First kill, then passiv Kicks in and enables even Higher DPS through ad and ap, both feeding in W in Hit scaling.

Hexplate, Terminus and jaksho provide tankiness, boots give sustain.

They nerfed ad and ap ratios, butt buffed passive atkspeed Ratio.

Thoughts?

Been running hubris muramana bastionbreaker and still feels the same to me b4 the nerfs I don’t notice a difference anyone else experiencing similar situation

Just had the honour of playing with this king. And honestly he still dealt really good dmg

So as we all know, Senna ADC with helm start and JOAT has been broken as fuck. I was wondering if it would work on other characters who’s damage aren’t entirely shit by the lack of dbow/dblade. So I tried it on Varus (ironically multiple times against Senna). Now I am in gold, so I’m not sure how well it would work in higher elo, but I’ve been having great results with this. Helm makes it so I can survive tougher matchups and actually play for lvl6 all in. The extra adaptive force and ability haste is crazy useful in the mid game. You do have to build a glowing mote after boots for the full JOAT stacks though. Your fighting power pre first back is obviously shit, but it’s manageable with the extra health and resists.
