Guide to Countering Corki as Varus

Tips for Playing as Varus against Corki

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.

Advice to Win Against Corki

Watch out for Corki's Missile Barrage. They deal splash damage, so you can get hit even when hiding behind minions.

Corki is vulnerable after he uses his Valkyrie or Special Delivery, so try switching focus to him if he uses them to enter a fight.
