Guide to Countering Tryndamere as Varus

Tips for Playing as Varus against Tryndamere

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 Tryndamere

Try harassing Tryndamere early so he can't kill minions and heal with Bloodlust.

Most of Tryndamere's damage is physical. If he's getting too strong, consider buying a Thornmail.

Remember, Tryndamere can only slow you if you are facing away from him.
