Tips for Playing as Varus against Sejuani

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.

Dodging Arctic Assault and Glacial Prison can give you a huge advantage.

Focus on avoiding the second swing of Winter's Wrath which carries the brunt of the damage.

Melee enemies can also stack Frost for Sejuani, be very careful around them.
