Guide to Synergizing Varus and Nilah

Tips for Playing as Varus with Nilah

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.

This shows that there is a terrible bond between Varus and Nilah that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
