Guide to Synergizing Dr. Mundo and Varus

Tips for Playing as Dr. Mundo with Varus

Cleavers are a powerful tool for killing neutral monsters. Instead of returning to base, farm neutral monsters until your ultimate can heal you.

A well-timed Sadism can bait enemy champions into attacking you even when they lack the damage to finish you.

Spirit Visage will increase the healing done by your ultimate and lower cooldowns on all of your abilities.

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.
