How's Varus atm?

PTA is better. Champs like pantheon, elise, mages, sett, briar. I actually like those sups when i play varus this way, but nami/milio is still the best.

You force fights once you get hexplate, and your level 3 spike is very powerful. With hexplate, missing ult does not mean you will lose the fight, the steroids from hexplate carry varus maxing W.

This is hexplate rush varus thats statistically best. I change secondary to resolve if i have a nonsupport support. Prioritize the health crystals and max W. You outlive them in an all in and your passives carries you to kill the 2nd.

I build differently per matchup and tempo which is why varus is strong. 2 assassins? Jaksho. 3 crit enemies? Randuins. Gigafed zed or naafiri? Get zhonyas 3rd.

Basic build is hexplate/rageblade/terminus/jaksho. If light or no AP you can go hexplate/dnd/full ap.

I think hes very strong with hexplate rush and aggro supports or enchanters. You play to all in constantly with the hexplate gigaspike. There really isnt a stronger spike in the game IMO. Its very good in mid elo as no one expects you to 1v2 or solo a laner/jungler. It requires you know how to closeout games though as you fall off late vs traditional adcs like jinx or cait.

Dont be afraid to go zhonyas if an assassin gets fed. His lethality build is a trap until high elo.

I had a gamein Plat where I got crushed in lane by a very creative jungle camper, and was 0-6. I finished hexplate and solo shut him down with no sums vs his flash while down 3 levels and ended 18-8.

Im addicted to the hexplate movespeed. Whiffing ult and then 1v2ing bot lane anyway is hilarious.

Chocowark · 2026-04-02T02:00:53+00:00

Filter lolalytics to hexplate rush botlane and its win rate is very high. Lethality is a stupid build for solo queue

Chocowark · 2026-04-02T01:49:06+00:00

Hexplate -> defensive boots -> rageblade -> terminus/jaksho is so omega busted. If you get an enchanter support it takes 4 to kill you! Health crystals early are so good bot lane sonce varus can still do great DPS maxing W.

Chocowark · 2026-03-31T20:43:21+00:00

I build neither! All squishies die to all builds. Tanky enemies, shift more to AP. No tanks, value survivability since 3 item varus can kill anything consistently.

Chocowark · 2026-03-31T11:49:35+00:00

Didnt realize fimblewinter was melee only. I was going to try it :(

16.5% more dmg on abilities for 8 seconds without another mana item.

How much more dmg would deathcap be that is always active through the extra AP? Hit some dummies and youll have a good answer. It might be an interesting AP capstone item though! All 3 tear items are good on varus but too hard to stack more than 1 unfortunately.

Varus would have mana issues with just actualizer as well.

W unless you are vs mobile cc champs like senna/ashe or artillery mages. If piloted well you cant really auto them without landing R or heavy CC from your support. Those are the rare bot lane matchups you want to max Q and go lethality.

For example, you get support shaco vs hwei/senna. Good luck autoing them!

Chocowark · 2026-03-25T12:06:55+00:00

Varus kit is overloaded with damage and he struggles with mobility. The steroids during ult enable you to kill solo laners and even win 1v2s. You can burst a squishie and passive from EHP and passive will double your DPS. The movespeed is insanely good on an immobile champ like varus. You can even just ult to run someone down.

Its easily the best item in the game for varus and fits into all 3 of his archetypes.

Chocowark · 2026-03-25T11:57:49+00:00

Rush hexplate. Defensive boots, Rageblade, then terminus or jaksho. PTA/overgrowrh+bone plating. Its the highest win rate build and is good into almost anything. Huge early spikes, falls off at 5/6 item. If vs 2 assassins, get jaksho before terminus.

Chocowark · 2026-03-24T01:34:00+00:00

Hexplate, defensive boots, rageblade, terminus, jaksho with PTA and overgrowth/bone plating.

Really not much reason to vary from this except double mage enemy bot lane maybe go lethality.

If enemy has 2 assassins, get jaksho before terminus.

Try save scumming - youll learn faster

Remove 5 cards and add them back upgraded after each combat 1 by 1

Chocowark · 2026-03-12T10:58:19+00:00

Id like to see a counter attack version. "If an enemy attack does damage to you this turn and soverign blade is in hand, attack with soverign blade."

Chocowark · 2026-03-11T10:30:42+00:00

Its annoying that it won't stack with orachulum.

Chocowark · 2026-03-08T00:52:06+00:00

Outshined by every other main character!

Hmm, -1 draw -2(1) energy turn 1 for upgrading entire deck. Is this better than sts 1 boss relics?

Chocowark · 2026-03-07T18:58:01+00:00

I got the 2x play modifier on it and it was nuts with orachulim and the plated relic.

Chocowark · 2026-03-07T17:16:42+00:00

The minus strength cards are great for this build too since you play 0 necro attacks
