Guide to Synergizing Varus and Yasuo

Tips for Playing as Varus with Yasuo

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 Yasuo Will Play

Last Breath can be cast on any target that is knocked Airborne, even by one of your allies.

Dash through a minion to have Sweeping Blade available to chase your opponent should they flee; Dash directly to your opponent to preserve a minion as your escape route.

At level 18, Yasuo's Steel Tempest reaches its Attack Speed cap with 55% Attack Speed from items.

By locking into the same team as Varus, he increases their win rate by 2.2% to 50.6%. This demonstrates that there is a potentially meaningful strategic relationship between Varus and Yasuo that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.

Yasuo has a much greater difficulty compared to Varus. That means Varus players must be cautious when lining up Yasuo comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much higher level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working cooperatively, Varus players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
