Guide to Synergizing Zyra and Varus

Tips for Playing as Zyra with Varus

Seeds grant vision to your team.

Placing a seed in your spell's path after you have cast it gives you the best chance of having a seed in the proper spot.

Zyra is a great ambusher - look for opportunities to set a trap of seeds in brush, then lure enemies in.

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.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Varus.

Is Zyra better when played alongside Varus?

There is no perfect synergy for Zyra that will always be her top ally. However, Varus is a relatively poor teammate for Zyra. By being on the same side as Zyra, he drops their win rate by -2.9% to 49.7%. This signals that there is a harmful bond between Zyra and Varus that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Zyra. That means Zyra players don't need to be very careful when finding Varus comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much lower level of skill to work well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. When paired, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

In contrast, by aligning Zyra and Varus together, you will not be providing your side very much engage. Plan to pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their capabilities.

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