Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades if you can get on top of Varus, but his range advantage makes this difficult in the early levels.
- Post-6 you have a significant advantage once you land W to block his poke and can all-in with R.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades using Q to proc vitals then immediately back off to avoid his W proc damage.
- Extended trades favor you only if you can stick to him and avoid eating multiple Q's while chasing.
Wave Control
- Keep the wave closer to your side to limit his ability to poke you freely and set up ganks.
- Freezing near your tower forces him to overextend for CS, making him vulnerable to your all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase him through minion waves early game as his Q damage is amplified and you'll take too much minion damage.
- Avoid using W reactively to his Q poke - save it for when you're committing to an all-in to block his E or R.
