Guide to Synergizing Taliyah and Varus

Tips for Playing as Taliyah with Varus

Remember, you don't always have to ride Weaver's Wall.

Try to throw enemies into Unraveled Earth using Seismic Shove.

Once you have Rylai's Crystal Scepter, casting Threaded Volley at enemies chasing you is a great way of making them regret everything.

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.
