Guide to Synergizing Varus and Jhin

Tips for Playing as Varus with Jhin

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 Jhin Will Play

Your ultimate deals significantly less damage to enemies with full health. Look to pick off weakened targets as they run away.

Deadly Flourish has incredible range. When approaching a fight be sure to look ahead for enemies that could be rooted.

You can still cast your spells while reloading. Use them to fill the down time.
