How it works

General

  1. You rush Nashor's Tooth.
  2. You then get Riftmaker and Guinsoo's Rageblade.
  3. You buy AP items and adapt to an enemy team.

How to play

General

  1. As Varus playing Riftmaker build, you will be squishy early on. You need a moment, levels and items to ramp up. Be careful when going in.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can Chain of Corruption (R), then Flash to catch unsuspecting enemies and to engage fights! It works forward, backward and sideways.
  2. You can start casting Piercing Arrow (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.
