Guide to Synergizing Varus and Ashe

Tips for Playing as Varus with Ashe

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 Understand How Ashe Will Play

Hawkshot reveals units in brush. If a team fight is occuring in the jungle it can give you a significant advantage.

Volley arrows are blocked by the first enemy they hit, so keep your distance to avoid having them all absorbed by enemy frontliners.

Try to fire Enchanted Crystal Arrow in the same direction enemies are moving, so it is more likely to hit.

Is Varus better when played alongside Ashe?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Varus that will 100% of the time be his ideal teammate. Yet, Ashe is a very bad companion for Varus. By locking into the same side as Varus, she drops their win rate by -3.4% to 45.0%. This proves that there is a terrible synergy between Varus and Ashe that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Ashe has a greater difficulty than Varus. That means Varus players must be very careful when arranging Ashe comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Working alongside, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by bringing Varus and Ashe together, you will not be providing your team much magic damage. Make sure to include other champions on your team that offsets this gap in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Ashe teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
