Guide to Synergizing Varus and Sett

Tips for Playing as Varus with Sett

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.

Conversely, by grouping Varus and Sett together, you may not be providing your other teammates very much AP. We recommend you have other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Sett ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
