Guide to Synergizing Varus and Janna

Tips for Playing as Varus with Janna

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 Janna Will Play

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.

By playing on the same team as Varus, she increases their win rate by 1.6% to 50.0%. This signals that there is a potentially meaningful bond between Varus and Janna that results in them performing at the top of their game together than alone.

Janna has a much greater difficulty compared to Varus. That means Varus players must be careful when finding Janna allies to play with, as they will need a much higher level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing together, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide utility and CC for your side. Together, these champions should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

In contrast, by bringing Varus and Janna together, you may not be providing your team much protection for burst damage. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Janna ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
