Guide to Synergizing Varus and Orianna

Tips for Playing as Varus with Orianna

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 Orianna Will Play

Command: Protect can be used on yourself to return the Ball back to you quickly. Combine this with Command: Attack for a quick harassment.

Command: Dissonance is a very powerful escape tool if Orianna has the Ball. The combination of speed and leaving a slowing obstacle can be quite powerful.

Command: Shockwave can be used to drag enemies towards you or away from you if you position the Ball properly.

Is Varus better when played alongside Orianna?

There is no top synergy for Varus that will no matter what be his best teammate. Yet, Orianna is a relatively poor ally for Varus.

This demonstrates that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Varus and Orianna that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Orianna has a much greater difficulty compared to Varus. That means Varus players should be careful when arranging Orianna allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.
