Guide to Synergizing Ashe and Varus

Tips for Playing as Ashe with Varus

Hawkshot reveals units in brush. If a team fight is occuring in the jungle it can give you a significant advantage.

Volley arrows are blocked by the first enemy they hit, so keep your distance to avoid having them all absorbed by enemy frontliners.

Try to fire Enchanted Crystal Arrow in the same direction enemies are moving, so it is more likely to hit.

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.

How to Play with Varus as Ashe in LoL

The Ashe Varus synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Varus, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Ashe sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Varus. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Varus helps Ashe perform not as well in competitive LoL matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Ashe tries to synergize with Varus, she sees a measurable drop in her total damage dealt. This may signal that Varus does not help protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Ashe is played alongside Varus on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Varus.

Additionally, when Ashe plays with Varus on the same side, she usually receives less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Varus does a decent job of covering Ashe during team fights.

Is Ashe better when played alongside Varus?

There is no top champion pairing for Ashe that will 100% of the time be her ideal synergy. Yet, overall, Varus is a very bad companion for Ashe. By locking into the same team as Ashe, he decreases their win rate by -3.6% to 45.0%. This proves that there is a terrible synergy between Ashe and Varus that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Varus has a lower difficulty than Ashe. That means Ashe players don't need to be careful when finding Varus comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to fight well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by pairing Ashe and Varus together, you probably will not be giving your side very much magic damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Varus ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
