Just so you know: E has several shadow applications that check the affected targets for new W stacks (within about 0.5 second) and pops them again. If you pop E on a target with 3 stacks, the 4th auto will have its stack instantly consumed for more %health damage. [Source: Am a Varus 1-trick for 11 years, but also it's in his original champion spotlight from season 2, Kappa] The optimal combo is A, A, A-R; A [R builds a stack], E [R builds a stack during animation], A [4th stack popped by E's shadow proc], [R builds its third stack], A, A, W-Q. Aside: (During Rageblade meta back in season 7(ish?), Varus had a mechanic where E could pop 5+ stacks depending on how fast you autoed and when your phantom hit proc'd. I assume this still works. It's not something you "try for" though, it's just hidden damage you just kinda get.)

The bursty builds are always fun to watch. I'd love to see MS Anivia with a lich bane. The item has the same cool down as her E so it will always proc when you auto after your combo. Luden's/cosmic's MS boosts helps you get in and out, too

Literally laughed out loud when you flashed into them. Thanks for showing the insane oneshots.

surprised you didn't do this on the PBE, i think with the new stormsurge and shadowflame i think the one-shot burst will be even stronger

I can’t believe I was in a game with you! I was the amumu man, gg. I’ve been watching all of your vids since I started playing league not too long ago. It’s helped a ton with learning what champions do, keep up the awesome content! 🤝🏽

Thanks for the great vid Zwag!

“Did Zwag Xerath get the first 6 CS?” No, he missed a caster minion Lose Streak: 1

Love Your videos man! :)

Thanks for the vid, Zwaggy-dad. AP varus is always fun to watch.

AP Varus in Aram is an absolute menace. Thanks Zwag!

Some solid one shots, that's the reason why I love and main Varus and only play AP

The new AP item Malignance is going to be pretty great on Varus.

I love this build thank you. League of tanks has no chance if played right. Cant wait for this build in the new season.

I LOVE watching good Varus gameplay. It’s so juicy

wondering if liandrys would actually be worth it for the 12% boost to the max hp damage, though only gragas actually built hp so

The amount of AP Varus videos I'm watching lately is just insane.. but hey I like it :)

does varus q just have the line on it now or can you have the cross hair looking one like the old days or did they change the wya it looks

AP Varus is still one of my guilty pleasures XD

Hey zwag love your videos you should play full lifesteal Warwick and become unkillable

I like this build!

Is there a crit udyr that is fun to play?

i got nothin fancy i wanna see just some more moredekaiser or illaoi game play :D those are always fun watches

I can't believe how long this build has gone without being completely gutted. It's so blatantly overpowered. Like just at 500 AP you're looking at 54.75% max HP + 21% of the resultant HP after that hit when popping active blight off of a fully stacked Q. I don't know *why* they made it so the blight stacks do 50% more damage when Q is fully charged as it would already be powerful anyway, but it does. But usually that also follows after a 1:1 AP ratio nuke on his ult. Add his passive and his W on-hit with Nashor's and like...why would you ever go AD Varus? Edit: Also, we got a perfect demonstration of how to aim a skillshot from Zwag at 3:36. If you notice, he puts the center line right between her feet since characters that don't float above ground have their hitboxes drawn around their feet. LoL is a 2D game. The bodies, heads, whatever don't matter, they're all just ovals on a flat plane at the end of the day.

Deletes 3 people in a row. Zwag: we doin pretty solid damage.😂

Mid varus hitting 17-5-0 around 22th min Amumu jung: "I was unfamiliar with your game" :DD

Ngl Zwag, you need to start buying more dark seals early in the game. Great video though!

Do you think a muramana would fit this build (to kinda make it a bit hybrid and more sustainable damage) or would it take away from the oneshot potential?

Almost forgot the like 👍🏻

Did they buff this recently? I thought they gutted this build a few months back

Love the AP Varus >:D Lemme see that AP Nami 🥴🥴🥴

"I don't know what I want" - Every human in existence

Can we get an Asol gameplay with the new items?

Thank god i emptied my watch later list!!!

AP Irelia would be awesome to see

That 1.7k crit on swain hurt me man...😂

I play ap varus a ton. 2.8 Mil Mastery here. There is nothing like one shoting a tham with 5.3k HP, 6 times in one game and finishing the game by standing still, auto attacking him 3 times, emot to assert dominance, get eaten by him, slurped out just to tap point blank q and see him get deleted in less then one frame...and the cherry on top has to be - (Tham Kench): 5.4K Arrows...so freaking fair....what a fucking spaghetti code of rito engineering. Friend request received.. Man sometime i truly hate this game but these moments is why i will always be hooked on league for ever.

19:19 that gragas legit scared me

Riot watching Zwag: 'right boyz, let's see what will be balanced in the next patches!

Can we get some Shyvana content? Build of your choice

surely zwag tries assassin wukong, q bonks for over half health

Orenia build for damage on hit still viable I wonder using the ball for utility more then damage.

Oh fuck yeah Diddy kong racing music

You wanna tussel? Well you win 😂😂

Yow that was evaporate skillshot varus 😂😂😂😅

lol at 25:41 gragas burping was perfect timing

Did ap Varus get buffed since the last nerf?

Damn those Q only hit for 88 damage with such low health on Swain, Good job Rito Gomes 21:40🎉 Thats the reason why this game is so balanced.

i'd like to see some teemo support 😁

Varus sure uhh grunts a lot

Is this Jay Baruchel? Sounds just like him

I love you zwag but do you ever sleep?

I think the stacks only get detonated by basic abilities? So the combo 3 aa into ult does not do the most damage, it should be like 3 aa - e - ult (which builds up another 3 stacks over root duration) - wq. Or am i wrong? Anyway nice video as always 😊

I still would like to see you play Full atk speed braum. I know its not hugely viable, but I do hope you havefun with it and not rage at my suggestion.

Kennen!!!!

Tank varus is pretty interesting if you wanna try a different flavor of varus!

bro do some aatrox tank

Did he ever kill the jhin?

I want to see you Zwag playing Wild Rift :D

Kill the turret before it kills you -Zwag 2023

Please play evelynn jungle!

"No one can kill me" *gets one shot by Jhin* Ten minutes later "No one can kill me. I deal too much dmg" *gets one shot by Jhin*

Blud doesnt know about 90000000 stacked veigar

Second skin of the day: Default Varus.

Correct varus combo would be: 3AA + E + R + 1/2AA + QW Or R + 1AA + QW + 3AA + E
