Guide to Synergizing Varus and Trundle

Tips for Playing as Varus with Trundle

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.

Use Subjugate to soften a powerful enemy tank or to create a target for your team to focus fire.

Trundle excels at fighting within his Frozen Domain. Try to draw enemies onto it.

Chomp is good for lowering the physical damage of enemies; try to focus it on enemy physical damage dealers.
