How it works

  1. You play poke oriented Mage.
  2. You rush Luden's Companion.
  3. You build AP items, going full damage.

How to play

  1. Playing AP Varus build, your default rush is Luden's Companion. In cases, when an enemy team is full of tanks and HP stackers, go Liandry's Torment.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. You can R, then Flash to catch unsuspecting enemies and to engage fights! It works forward, backward and sideways.
  2. You can start casting Q and Flash during casting to reach enemies that are super far away.
Riot
  1. An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.
  2. During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.
  3. 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.
