Guide to Synergizing Sett and Varus

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.

Conversely, by bringing Sett and Varus together, you will not be providing your side very much AP. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Varus teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
