Guide to Countering Evelynn as Varus

Tips for Playing as Varus against Evelynn

Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.

An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.

During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.

Advice to Win Against Evelynn

Purchasing Vision Wards can help you detect Evelynn's location in order to prepare for her ambushes.

A large share of Evelynn's threat is in her charm, 'Allure.' Protect allies marked with 'Allure' or, if you are marked, make sure allies are between you and where Evelynn may attack from.

If you suspect Evelynn is about to ambush one of your teammates, let them know by pinging the minimap and typing in chat.
