Beta
Top lane Varus dominates melee champions with his long range and percentage health damage, often winning trades even when building tank items. He is versatile with AP, attack speed, or lethality builds; AP Varus, in particular, deals explosive AoE damage with his ultimate and W skill combo. Though immobile and vulnerable to ganks, Varus can turn fights with his ultimate or surprising resilience, so remain cautious even after securing a kill.
