Guide to Synergizing Varus and Vex

Tips for Playing as Varus with Vex

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.

How to Play with Vex as Varus in LoL

The Varus Vex synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Vex, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Varus sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vex. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Vex helps Varus perform poorer in competitive League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Varus is an ally to Vex, he gets a little decrease in his complete damage dealt. This difference may indicate that Vex does not help protection for him to deal more damage or that their presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Varus is played with Vex on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Vex. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Vex.

Moreover, when Varus plays with Vex on the same team, he usually takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could indicate that Vex does a poor job of covering Varus during teamfights.

Is Varus better when played alongside Vex?

There is no perfect ally for Varus that will always be his top teammate. However, overall, Vex is a very typical teammate for Varus. By being on the same team as Varus, they drops their win rate by -0.8% to 47.6%. This signals that there is only a small synergy between Varus and Vex that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Vex has a lower difficulty than Varus. That means Varus players don't need to be careful when enlisting Vex allies to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Playing on the same side, Varus players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by bringing Varus and Vex together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates very much protection for burst damage. Plan to include other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Vex ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
