Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win through E pull setups combined with Varus follow-up damage, as Samira-Soraka lack tools to punish your positioning.
- Post-6: You maintain advantage with R providing sustained damage and healing in extended fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for E pulls on either enemy then follow with W placement and passive pull while Varus builds W stacks for detonation.
- Focus on landing E when enemies are locked in auto-attack animations or moving predictably for CS.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after successful recalls or when you have minion advantage and vision control, targeting mid lane around levels 6-9.
- Time roams when Varus can safely farm alone and you have R available for skirmishes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E on Samira when her W is available as she can block it easily - wait for the ability to be down or target Soraka instead.
- Never waste W on single targets in lane as the mana cost is too high for the unreliable damage output.
