Guide to Synergizing Varus and Pantheon

Tips for Playing as Varus with Pantheon

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 Pantheon Will Play

Mortal Will activates after 5 spells or basic attacks - plan your way through fights to allow you to activate it more than once.

Whittle the enemy down with Comet Spears before you jump in.

If an enemy is going to get out of range of your Aegis Assault, you can recast the spell to immediately fire the shield slam.
