how to build full ad poke varus?

FrankerX··1 votes·889 views

i saw a friend do it and its pretty fun. this varus focuses on cdr and ad to spam his q. since he has a lot of AD he can also autoattack but he shouldnt because he buys no attackspeed at all. im just leveling a smurf right now and i dont have a lot of champs so i usually pick him mid, or when i play aram i sometimes get him.

but i have problems with building him so if ppl can give me some help that would be great. first item is tear. it just really helps out a lot with the mana problems he has from spamming q. i finish muramana as 4th item (is that too late?) i tend to get item 3142 as 1. completed item. the active gives him speed and attackspeed + you get cdr and armorpen and a decent amount of ad from it. item 3158 between 1. and 2. item usually (since im midlane) i get item 3156 as 2nd item. MR and more armor pen 3rd item usually is item 3812 . more cdr and lifesteal on the q which really hurts by now. 4th item is item 3042 or item 3508 5th item is item 3042 or item 3508 (40% cdr at this point. or 45% with masteries but i dont like them much) i never got to 6 items but i'd get item 3137 as 6th.

is this a good build? i cant tell should i get IE + Reaver for the crits and cdr? but why should i get much crit when i spam q (and ult) instead of aa. or should i bet a BT somewhere?

pls help me guys :D

i usually go for item 3508 first for some cdr/crit/mana reg then i go for item 3031 to get that extra cdr from the crit + to regen some mana just aa few minions thenitem 3142 > item 3036 or item 3033 and finish with item 3139 as for boots i preferitem 3009 over more cdr from item 3158 since it wouldn't slow you that much when charging your q

item 1333 item 3042 item 3142 item 3156 item 3071 item 3036 Is my preferred build. I usually don't bother with defensive items outside of Maw because generally AD champions(aside from other marksmen) are easy enough to kite or stop them in their tracks with ult. Death's Dance actually looks really good on him now that I think about it though but honestly, I can't really bring myself to replace an item in the build with it. Not to say the build doesn't change, sometimes I might get item 3139 or item 3078 in favour of Maw or Youmuu's although the latter rarely happens.

why black cleaver? besides the cdr (i get them in a different way) and the 300hp, you wont get much from the passive because you arent supposed to autoattack

All physical damage applies the armour shred, so I not only drop HP Bars but soften up the frontline provided I can consistently hit my Q's. Plus the MS Boost and HP help me stay alive and kite anyone who gets too into my face. I get where you're coming from though as the item isn't needed, but I just prefer to build it.

The build isn't that important, basically just build damage. What's important is hitting fully charged Qs lol.

Not outrated. Just that people picking Lucian are just boring LCS sheeps.

Varus isnt good the only thing goos is his stun and the rage in his q. A fast moving adc Ex. Lucian, Ezreal somone with quick dodge would destroy varus SO badly!

Pffffftt, "Full AD Poke Varus"? That sounds really ridiculous you should go Full AP Varus- item 3115 item 3100 item 3089 item 3020 item 3135 item 3285 It goes amazingly against people with alot of health or squishies. And it's ALOT of fun to play. :D

Lucidity, Manamune, Youmuu, Maw, Duskblade, Black Cleave

As a poke built varus you want to just harass with Q as much as possible and not AA, the duskblade's dmg, penetration, and MS helps immensely with repositioning. Sadly you gotta try and not AA to waste the passive which takes getting use to.
