Guide to Synergizing Varus and Diana

Tips for Playing as Varus with Diana

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 Diana Will Play

Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.

Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.

Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.

Is Varus better when played alongside Diana?

There is no top ally for Varus that will no matter what be his #1 teammate. Yet, overall, Diana is a very typical teammate for Varus. By being on the same team as Varus, she raises their win rate by 0.4% to 48.8%. This signals that there is a weak strategic relationship between Varus and Diana that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.

Diana has a greater difficulty than Varus. That means you must be careful when lining up Diana allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Working on the same side, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by bringing Varus and Diana together, you may not be giving your other allies very much crowd control. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Diana ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
