Guide to Synergizing Varus and Vayne

Tips for Playing as Varus with Vayne

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 Vayne Will Play

Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.

Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.

Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.

Is Varus better when played alongside Vayne?

There is no ideal synergy for Varus that will always be his ideal ally. However, Vayne is a very typical ally for Varus. By playing on the same side as Varus, she lowers their win rate by -1.0% to 47.4%. This clearly indicates that there is only a small synergy between Varus and Vayne that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Vayne has a much greater difficulty compared to Varus. That means Varus players should be cautious when arranging Vayne allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much greater level of skill to work well with you.

Playing on the same side, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by bringing Varus and Vayne together, you will not be providing your other teammates enough tankyness. Plan to include other champs on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Vayne ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
