Abilities

Resource: Mana
P
Living VengeancePassive

On kill or assist, Varus temporarily gains Attack Damage and Ability Power. This bonus is larger if the enemy is a champion.

Q
Piercing ArrowCooldown 16/15/14/13/12s

Varus readies and then fires a powerful shot that gains extra range and damage the longer he spends preparing to fire.

W
Blighted QuiverCooldown 40s

Passive: Varus' basic attacks deal bonus magic damage and apply Blight. Varus' other abilities detonate Blight, dealing magic damage based on the target's maximum Health. Active: Varus empowers his next Piercing Arrow.

E
Hail of ArrowsCooldown 18/16/14/12/10s

Varus fires a hail of arrows that deal physical damage and desecrate the ground. Desecrated ground slows enemies' Move Speed and reduces their self healing and regeneration.

R
Chain of CorruptionCooldown 100/80/60s

Varus flings out a damaging tendril of corruption that immobilizes the first enemy champion hit and then spreads towards nearby uninfected champions, immobilizing them too on contact.
