Guide to Synergizing Yasuo and Varus

Tips for Playing as Yasuo with Varus

Last Breath can be cast on any target that is knocked Airborne, even by one of your allies.

Dash through a minion to have Sweeping Blade available to chase your opponent should they flee; Dash directly to your opponent to preserve a minion as your escape route.

At level 18, Yasuo's Steel Tempest reaches its Attack Speed cap with 55% Attack Speed from items.

Advice to Understand How Varus Will Play

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.

Is Yasuo better when played alongside Varus?

There is no perfect synergy for Yasuo that will always be his #1 synergy. Yet, overall, Varus is a very typical teammate for Yasuo. By being on the same team as Yasuo, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 50.6%. This signals that there is not really a strong synergy between Yasuo and Varus that results in them performing at the same level together than without each other.

Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Yasuo. That means Yasuo players don't need to be cautious when finding Varus teammates to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, Yasuo players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Yasuo and Varus together, you may not be granting your team a great deal of utility. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that fills this relative hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Varus ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
