As Varus

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.
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.

Against Varus

If you are affected by Blight, Varus' abilities will deal extra damage to you.
When he gets a kill or assist, Varus temporarily gains Attack Speed and is much more dangerous.
You'll get bound in place if a tendril from Varus' ultimate, Chain of Corruption, reaches you. You can cause the tendril to die however by running far enough away from it.
// Lore

One of the ancient darkin, Varus was a deadly killer who loved to torment his foes, driving them almost to insanity before delivering the killing arrow. He was imprisoned at the end of the Great Darkin War, but escaped centuries later in the remade flesh of two Ionian hunters—they had unwittingly released him, cursed to bear the bow containing his bound essence. Varus now seeks out those who trapped him, in order to enact his brutal vengeance, but the mortal souls within still resist him every step of the way.

Ability details
Innate: When Varus kills an enemy, he gains 10 – 20 (based on level) bonus attack speed as well as bonus attack damage and ability power equal to 11% of his total bonus attack speed for 5 – 11 for 4 (based on level) seconds, refreshing on subsequent unit kills.
Varus also gains Living Vengeance's bonuses upon scoring a champion takedown, which empowers it for the same duration to grant him 30% bonus attack speed as well as bonus attack damage and ability power equal to 33% of his total bonus attack speed, and an increased attack speed cap of 3.33. Living Vengeance's empowerment may only be refreshed by subsequent champion takedowns.

Notes

  • Varus cannot gain the standard bonuses while Living Vengeance is empowered. If the buff was active at the time of the empowerment (from scoring a champion takedown), the duration is refreshed while overriding the standard bonuses with the empowered ones.
  • If Varus kills an enemy unit (non-champion) during the empowerment, he is special cased to gain the buff again after the empowerment expires with the standard bonuses. The re-granted buff lasts for 5 – 11 for 4 (based on level) seconds minus the remaining duration of the empowered version at the time of the last non-champion unit he killed.
