Guide to Synergizing Draven and Varus

Tips for Playing as Draven with Varus

If Draven doesn't move, Spinning Axe will fall near his present location. It will fall directly on him, or just to the right or left.

If Draven does move after attacking, Spinning Axe will lead him in the direction of his movement. Use this to control where the Spinning Axe will go.

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.

Is Draven better when played alongside Varus?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Draven that will no matter what be his best ally. Yet, overall, Varus is a very bad ally for Draven. By locking into the same side as Draven, he decreases their win rate by -5.9% to 43.8%. This shows that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Draven and Varus that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Draven. That means Draven players don't need to be very careful when finding Varus allies to play with, as they will require a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing alongside, Draven players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by aligning Draven and Varus together, you probably will not be providing your side a lot of magic damage. Make sure to have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Varus ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
