Guide to Synergizing Janna and Varus

Tips for Playing as Janna with Varus

Timing Janna's ultimate can push enemies away from a wounded ally or even separate enemies.

Eye of the Storm can be used on allied turrets.

Quickly firing a Howling Gale without the charge up can be used to heavily disable the other team.

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 Janna better when played alongside Varus?

There is no perfect synergy for Janna that will 100% of the time be her best teammate. Yet, Varus is a very typical ally for Janna. By playing on the same team as Janna, he decreases their win rate by -1.0% to 50.0%. This signals that there is not really a strong synergy between Janna and Varus that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Janna. That means Janna players don't need to be careful when lining up Varus comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

When playing together, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to buff allies and debuff enemies. Together, these champs should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Although, by bringing Janna and Varus together, you will not be granting your team very much engage potential. We recommend you have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Varus ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
