Tips for Playing as Aatrox with Varus

Cast World Ender when you are sure you can force a fight.

Use Umbral Dash while casting The Darkin Blade to increase your chances of hitting the enemy.

Advice to Understand How Varus Will Play

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.
