Guide to Synergizing Zeri 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 Zeri better when played alongside Varus?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Zeri that will always be their #1 synergy. However, Varus is a very typical companion for Zeri. By locking into the same side as Zeri, he lowers their win rate by -0.3% to 45.9%. This shows that there is a weak bond between Zeri and Varus that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Zeri. That means Zeri players don't need to be cautious when lining up Varus teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

When playing on the same side, Zeri players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by bringing Zeri and Varus together, you probably will not be granting your side a lot of magical damage output. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of your Varus ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
