Guide to Synergizing Varus and Ryze

Tips for Playing as Varus with Ryze

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 Ryze Will Play

Spell Flux's short cooldown allows it to be used to spread Flux to many enemies.

Use Overload's passive to optimize for maximum damage or maximum speed.

Ryze can move and cast other spells while Realm Warp is charging without cancelling the portal.
