Guide to Synergizing Varus and Ziggs

Tips for Playing as Varus with Ziggs

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 Ziggs Will Play

Even if you're far from a fight you can still help from afar with Mega Inferno Bomb.

Slowing your enemies with Hexplosive Minefield makes it easier to land other abilities.

Knocking yourself over walls with Satchel Charge can be great when chasing after or escaping from enemies.

This proves that there is a very bad bond between Varus and Ziggs that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Ziggs has a greater difficulty than Varus. That means you must be very careful when enlisting Ziggs teammates to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Fighting together, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champions are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by bringing Varus and Ziggs together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates much engage potential. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that fills this relative hole in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Ziggs ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
