Varus Build Guide
Varus can be built two very different ways, but this guide focuses on the attack-speed crit path that’s seeing play in the adc role. Patch 16.13.1 ranked data puts him at a 47.29% winrate with a 2.83% pickrate, and he’s also viable in the top lane according to current lane data.
Lethal Tempo anchors the build, synergizing with Statikk Shiv, Guinsoo’s Rageblade, and Terminus to maximize on-hit damage and attack speed scaling. Skill order runs Q, then W, then E, keeping Piercing Arrow maxed for consistent poke damage. The full build path, rune page, and counter picks are detailed further down.
