Guide to Synergizing Vex and Varus

Advice to Understand How Varus Will Play

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.

How to Play with Varus as Vex in LoL

Overall, Vex sees a large worsening in their KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Varus. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This change may demonstrate that Varus provides cover for them to deal more damage or that his participation also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Vex is played together with Varus on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when they plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that they is worse when playing with Varus.

Is Vex better when played alongside Varus?

There is no top ally for Vex that will 100% of the time be their top teammate. Yet, overall, Varus is a not very good ally for Vex. By being on the same side as Vex, he lowers their win rate by -1.2% to 47.6%. This proves that there is a harmful bond between Vex and Varus that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Varus has a greater difficulty than Vex. That means you must be careful when lining up Varus allies to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Vex and Varus together, you will not be giving your other allies very much engage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Varus teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
