Guide to Synergizing Wukong and Varus

Tips for Playing as Wukong with Varus

Decoy and Nimbus Strike work well together to quickly strike your enemy and get out before they can retaliate.

Try using Decoy near brush to make an enemy overreact to your movement.

Advice to Understand How Varus Will Play

Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.

An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.

During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.
