Guide to Synergizing Varus and Taliyah

Tips for Playing as Varus with Taliyah

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 Taliyah Will Play

Remember, you don't always have to ride Weaver's Wall.

Try to throw enemies into Unraveled Earth using Seismic Shove.

Once you have Rylai's Crystal Scepter, casting Threaded Volley at enemies chasing you is a great way of making them regret everything.

Is Varus better when played alongside Taliyah?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Varus that will no matter what be his ideal ally. Yet, overall, Taliyah is a relatively poor companion for Varus. By being on the same team as Varus, she lowers their win rate by -2.0% to 46.4%. This proves that there is a harmful bond between Varus and Taliyah that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Taliyah has a greater difficulty than Varus. That means Varus players should be careful when lining up Taliyah teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Together, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by aligning Varus and Taliyah together, you will not be giving your side a great deal of attack damage. Plan to have other champs on your team that neutralizes this gap in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Taliyah teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
