Guide to Synergizing Volibear 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.

Is Volibear better when played alongside Varus?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Volibear that will 100% of the time be his #1 synergy. However, overall, Varus is a very typical companion for Volibear. By locking into the same team as Volibear, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 48.0%. This proves that there is a weak bond between Volibear and Varus that allows them to perform at the same level together than without each other.

Varus has a lower difficulty than Volibear. That means you don't need to be cautious when lining up Varus comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.

Playing together, Volibear players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Volibear and Varus together, you will not be giving your team enough crowd control. We recommend you include other champions on your team that offsets this gap in this pairing's kit.
