Lore

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.

When was Varus released?

Varus was released on April 9, 2012. Players could purchase them with Riot Points or Blue Essence as soon as it dropped in-game.

What lane is Varus?

Varus is primarily played in the Bottom lane and falls under the Marksman class. However, they can also be effective in the Top depending on team composition and matchups. The champion's kit and playstyle make them most suited for it, where they can maximize their impact throughout the game.

How many skins does Varus have?

Currently, there are 15 Varus Skins available in the game. This includes all cosmetic variants released since their launch, the base skin is not included.

How much is Varus?
