Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 due to Varus's range advantage and poke damage, but you can start winning trades at level 6 with R if you successfully engage.
- Your poison trail Q alone isn't enough to overcome his kiting potential without ultimate assistance.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using W to slow him, then running at him with Q active while he's slowed to maximize poison damage.
- You need to commit fully to extended trades since short poke exchanges heavily favor his range advantage.
Wave Control
- Push waves hard with Q to force him under tower where he struggles to poke you safely, then look for proxying opportunities.
- Avoid freezing since you need minion waves to help close gaps and his range makes last-hitting from distance impossible.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade without your W available, as Varus will simply kite you endlessly with his range and Q poke.
- Avoid chasing him in open areas where he can maintain distance - you need walls or minion waves to limit his kiting space.
