Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior waveclear and Q threat, as Varus lacks mobility to dodge bindings consistently.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage since your R+Q combo can kill him while his R alone cannot burst you through your E shield.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is Q into W+auto, then back off immediately to avoid his Q poke response.
- Extended trades favor him due to his sustained DPS, so you want quick burst windows when Q lands.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively with W to deny him CS and create roam timers, as he cannot match your waveclear speed.
- Keep waves pushed so he's forced to use Q on minions rather than harass, limiting his poke potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E preemptively against his poke - save it specifically for his R engage or jungle ganks.
- Walking up without Q available makes you extremely vulnerable to his Q+E combo since you have no gap closer to respond.
