Key Strategic Tips:

  4. Stay close to your support in late game to avoid assassins
  5. Focus on maintaining safe positioning while maximizing damage output

Essential Combos:

  • Q + E for maximum poke damage
  • R + E + Q for full burst combo
  • E + Auto attacks for sustained damage
  • R + W + Auto attacks for percent health damage

This setup is optimal for both lane dominance and late-game scaling, emphasizing Varus's strength as a versatile AD carry with strong poke and engagement potential.
