He knows how to aim and shoot, but he doesn’t use a gun. He is called a sniper, yet he doesn’t use a sniper, he only uses his arrows knowing where they will rest..in enemies’ hearts.
This article will show you how to use Varus in TFT to shoot your enemies back into the lobby.
Pity those who cross me.
One of the ancient Darkin, Varus was a deadly killer who loved to torment his foes, driving them almost to insanity before delivering the killing arrow.
He was imprisoned at the end of the Great Darkin War but escaped centuries later in the remade flesh of two Ionian hunters—they had unwittingly released him, cursed to bear the bow containing his bound essence.
Varus now seeks out those who trapped him in order to enact his brutal vengeance, but the mortal souls within still resist him every step of the way.
