Guide to Synergizing Blitzcrank and Varus

Tips for Playing as Blitzcrank with Varus

Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.

The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.

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.
