Tips for Playing as Trundle with Varus

Use Subjugate to soften a powerful enemy tank or to create a target for your team to focus fire.

Trundle excels at fighting within his Frozen Domain. Try to draw enemies onto it.

Chomp is good for lowering the physical damage of enemies; try to focus it on enemy physical damage dealers.

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 Trundle better when played alongside Varus?

There is no perfect companion for Trundle that will 100% of the time be his ideal synergy. Yet, Varus is a not very good teammate for Trundle. By being on the same team as Trundle, he drops their win rate by -1.4% to 51.3%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Trundle and Varus that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Trundle. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Varus teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

When playing on the same side, Trundle players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Trundle and Varus together, you will not be granting your other allies very much magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Varus teammate, 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, regardless.
