Notes

I haven't felt like i needed muramanaMuramana35 Attack Damage1000 Mana15 Ability Haste2900 goldUnique – Awe: Grants bonus attack damage equal to 2% maximum mana. Unique – Shock: Basic attacks on-hit against champions deal 1.2% maximum mana bonus physical damage. Dealing ability damage to champions deals 4% maximum mana for melee users or 3% maximum mana for ranged users as bonus physical damage. The same attack or cast can only trigger this against a target once every 6.5 seconds., mana is pretty abundant in aram mayhem, but getting it is fine too - and its needed if you get a CDR augment. HubrisHubris55 Attack Damage18 Lethality10 Ability Haste2950 goldUnique – Eminence: Scoring a takedown against an enemy champion within 3 seconds of damaging them generates a permanent stack and grants you 12 (+ 3 per stack) bonus attack damage for 90 seconds. rush is pretty OP ad these AD champions, you get so many stacks on it! Build Serpent's FangSerpent's Fang55 Attack Damage15 Lethality2500 goldUnique – Shield Reaver: Dealing damage to an enemy champion inflicts them with venom for 3 seconds, reducing any shields they gain within the duration by ( 50% / 35%), and if the target was not already afflicted by the venom, reducing all of their active shields by the same amount. if they have any shielding at all, it's incredibly strong. Grab IEInfinity Edge75 Attack Damage25% Critical Strike Chance30% Critical Strike Damage3500 gold if you get crit augments. If you get Ethereal WeaponEthereal WeaponGoldYour abilities apply on-hit effects (1 second cooldown per target). early it's good to pivot to AP/Onhit (nashor'sNashor's Tooth80 Ability Power50% Attack Speed15 Ability Haste2900 goldUnique – Icathian Bite: Basic attacks deal 15 (+ 15% AP) bonus magic damage on-hit. and stuff).

updated build a bit! fixed up augments!

Varus is really flexible in his builds, Master Of Duality makes him an on-hit monster, and ethereal or other ap augments make him a monster at dealing with tanks. Also, id just take omnivamp shoes in all his builds (but I'm based so idk)

Anonymous

also, when you have ethereal weapon and muramana, with q and e you get both of the passive hits (the one from autoattack and ability), also your aa passive from w hits with it

Anonymous

i think ethereal weapon + lichbane/triforce is great on him, as well as other onhits with q

I tried it out one game and it didn't feel as good to me as AD pen varus. But certainly it is efficient on him, and I'm open to testing it more. Has it felt good for you?

Anonymous

in a world where critical missile exists and hp maxing tanks are around, you're much better off building traditional adc or even AP, over lethality poke varus who does nothing late game

Ya it can be very hard late game. I really love Varus's Q, and I've had a lot of success with this build tho
