Guide to Synergizing Pantheon and Varus

Tips for Playing as Pantheon with Varus

Mortal Will activates after 5 spells or basic attacks - plan your way through fights to allow you to activate it more than once.

Whittle the enemy down with Comet Spears before you jump in.

If an enemy is going to get out of range of your Aegis Assault, you can recast the spell to immediately fire the shield slam.

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.

Is Pantheon better when played alongside Varus?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Pantheon that will 100% of the time be his ideal synergy. Yet, Varus is a not very good companion for Pantheon. By playing on the same team as Pantheon, he lowers their win rate by -1.4% to 48.0%. This demonstrates that there is a negative strategic relationship between Pantheon and Varus that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Varus has a lower difficulty than Pantheon. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Varus comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

When playing on the same side, Pantheon players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by pairing Pantheon and Varus together, you probably will not be giving your side enough AP. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Varus ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
