Guide to Synergizing Varus and Aurelion Sol

Tips for Playing as Varus with Aurelion Sol

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.

Advice to Understand How Aurelion Sol Will Play

You can use Comet of Legend's flight to grow Starsurge to massive proportions.

Comet of Legend allows you to move quickly around the map; use it to put pressure on other lanes.

Save Voice of Light to use as a defense against melee opponents if you need to - otherwise, use its slow to start a fight at long range.
