Guide to Synergizing Varus and Darius

Tips for Playing as Varus with Darius

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 Darius Will Play

Noxian Guillotine does more damage the more attacks you can land prior to it. Use Noxian Might to deal maximum damage.

Darius benefits greatly from enhanced survivability. The longer you can prolong a fight, the more powerful he becomes.

Decimate is a powerful harassment ability. Strike an enemy from maximum range for the greatest effect.
