Tips for Playing as Varus with Xin Zhao

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.

Try to position yourself so your ultimate's knockback is most effective.

Xin Zhao is a great initiator to combat. Lead the front to start a fight and use your ultimate to do the most damage possible.
