Guide to Countering Twisted Fate as Varus

Tips for Playing as Varus against Twisted Fate

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 Twisted Fate

Focus on dodging Wild Cards early when your champion doesn't have the hit points to afford getting hit.

If you have low Health, use Destiny as an indicator to run to safety. It will give you a head start in escaping any possible ganks.
