Guide to Synergizing Varus and Elise

Tips for Playing as Varus with Elise

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 Elise Will Play

Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.

Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.

How to Play with Elise as Varus in LoL

The Varus Elise synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Elise, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Varus sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Elise. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Elise helps Varus perform worse in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Varus tries to synergize with Elise, he sees a little decrease in his total damage dealt. This change may indicate that Elise does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Varus is played with Elise on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Elise. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Elise.

Additionally, when Varus plays with Elise on the same side, he often takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Elise does a decent job of protecting Varus in team fights.
