Guide to Synergizing Varus and Twitch

Tips for Playing as Varus with Twitch

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 Twitch Will Play

Contaminate has a large range; apply as many stacks of Deadly Venom as possible before using it.

You can catch up to an enemy out of attack range with Venom Cask.

Twitch's Attack Speed is among the highest in the game; try purchasing items with on-hit effects such as Black Cleaver or Wit's End.

Twitch has a much greater difficulty compared to Varus. That means you need to be very careful when lining up Twitch allies to play with, as they will need a much greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Fighting together, Varus players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
